CapCut: Animating logos and icons with auto-removal

Demo summary
The creator uses CapCut's auto-removal tool to isolate a logo and demonstrates animating icons with scale and rotation keyframes to create a pop-in effect.
Step-by-step
- Select the logo clip and click Auto removal under the Background removal tab
- Set the final position of the logo and add a keyframe on Transform
- Move the playhead backward, decrease scale to 1, and set rotation to 15
- Open variable speed animation to smooth out the rotation and scale keyframes
- Add a horizontal guide to align multiple icons in the center
- Add keyframes to icons at the start and 10 frames forward to create a zoom-in effect
- Apply a Mosaic effect to each icon and adjust the blur settings
- Go to Mask, select Rectangle, and set the corner rounding to 20
Options
- Adjust blur intensity (e.g., 7 or 9) for the Mosaic effect per icon
- Use horizontal guides to ensure multiple icons are on the same line
Watch out for
- Ensure all icons are the same length on the timeline before keyframing
- The mask size must be manually adjusted to match the icon size before rounding corners
Tips
- Trim the clip end up to the first keyframe to clean up the timeline
- Hold Shift while moving the playhead to jump forward exactly 10 frames
- Copy the specific rounding value (e.g., 20) to ensure consistency across all icons
- Time the icon zoom-in to trigger exactly when the main logo starts zooming out
