What Are CapCut Templates?
A CapCut template is a pre-built edit created by someone else that you can reuse with your own footage. All the hard work — transitions, effects, speed changes, and beat-synced music — is already done. You just tap “Use Template,” add your clips, and the edit builds itself around your content.
The CapCut app is free on both iPhone and Android, which is why templates have become the go-to way for millions of people to make Reels, TikToks, and Shorts.
