Transcript excerpt

Alrighty. And that was a visual hook. This is CapCut one zero one, and all you need to make this happen is using one clip and learning how to use masks. Alright. You're gonna put your video into CapCut. You're gonna click on your video in the timeline, then click rank. Click rectangle and adjust the rectangle size. And then you're going to just thin it out a little bit to cover over the microphone. You're going to click rectangle again and press around corners. And after you're done that, you're going to now add key frames. So click key frame at the beginning of your video, then add a key frame right as you hit the microphone and one half a second later after that. So repeat this process every single time that you are hitting the microphone and just extend the mask itself every time you are adding a new keyframe a half a second later. The last step should be you extending the mask to show the entire video. Like so. Now better you're done adding your key frames, now we just want to press graphs right beside the key frame button, and we're gonna press ease in to make the transitions really smooth. And there you go. Alrighty. And that was a visual hook.
