CapCut: Drawing and animating custom shapes
CapCutDemo summary
The demo shows how to use the stickers shapes tool to draw custom lines and animate them with a bounce-in effect.
Step-by-step
- Go to Stickers and select Shapes to add a custom shape
- Adjust the color and increase the width of the shape
- Add a keyframe on Transform, move 10 frames forward, and add a second keyframe
- Return to the first keyframe and decrease the scale to one to create the growth effect
- Add a text layer, change the font, and apply a shadow with decreased opacity
- Select the shape and text layers and create a Compound Clip
- Duplicate the compound clip and position the copies as needed
- Open the compound clips to apply a Bounce In animation to the text layers
Options
- Change the font to Duct Tick
- Adjust shadow opacity and positioning
Watch out for
- You must create a compound clip to manage the shape and text as a single animated unit
Tips
- Hold shift while moving the playhead to jump exactly 10 frames forward
- Smooth out the keyframes to make the animation look more natural
- Use a bounce-in animation on text layers to spice up the visual
