How to Create Animation Effects That Transform Your Handmade Movie with Cute Sticky Painting Techniques

I Found an Interesting Edit in CapCut＊

CapCut is a video editing app that can be easily used on smartphones.

It is an app developed by the Chinese IT company Bytedance, which also produces TikTok and Ulike.

The app has rich editing features that are easy to use for beginners, allowing a variety of tasks like adding text and BGM, applying effects, animations, and compositing, all for free, which is very appealing.

Another great point is that it allows you to save videos in beautiful quality! Some people even use this app to create wedding profile videos.

Recently, what I found to be amazing in CapCut is this editing.

It's a dynamic video effect where a single photo is gradually painted and reveals its entire form.

I think you can easily understand this by watching this reel♡

How to Create It＊

This edit isn’t particularly difficult to make!

You can easily create it using the "Painting" feature in CapCut.

【Step 1】

After opening the image in the app, tap on "Style."

【Step 2】

Various effects will appear, so tap on "Painting" from the options.

Then, the photo will start to move naturally.

【Step 3】

This is almost complete, but there is one issue!

With this feature alone, the final part of the image will still look a bit blurry and rough like a painting, which feels somewhat unsatisfactory...

【Step 4】

Therefore, add a high-quality original image to the back of this video by pressing the "+" button.

This way, you can end with a beautiful photo!

【Step 5】

It’s recommended to use a transition to edit the boundary between the first video and the second photo.

I applied the "Dazzling Light" transition under "Effects" to create a sparkling switch effect♩

The Editing Looks Professional Now＊

The brush strokes that paint gradually transforming into a photo....

I was amazed that such tricky and interesting animation editing can be done so easily!

It might be good to use this as an introduction for an opening movie or a profile movie, or insert it in between segments.

Please give it a try♩
