Part 1: 5 Ways to Help You Get Good Video Quality on CapCut Desktop

In this part, we explore all the ways available on the CapCut desktop version to help users get good video quality. Some of them are AI-based tools, and some of them are special effects and filters that are helpful for improving the overall quality.

1.1 How to Get HD Video Quality on CapCut with Image Enhancement Tool

If you are editing the video in HD or UHD, but there are some clips in 720P resolution, you can use the "Image Enhancement" tool on CapCut Pro to change the resolution of these clips to HD or UHD.

Image Enhancement is an AI tool that can enhance video and image quality immediately, so there is no need to do more manual adjustments, but it is only available on CapCut Pro.

Step 1: Import your SD or any low-quality footage to CapCut Pro on your desktop.

Step 2: Drag & drop the video to the timeline.

Step 3: At the right panel, go to the "Video" section -> "Basic" -> activate "Image Enhancement", and select the "Level" to HD or UHD.

1.2 How to Get 4K Quality on CapCut without Pro Membership

If you have no CapCut Pro but want to get 4K quality of your video, you can apply the special effects or filters and manual adjustment to achieve your desired result. The operation is a little bit complex, but it still works. This is best for editing 1080P footage and exporting it to 4K Quality without ruining the overall quality.

Step 1: Launch CapCut on Your PC and Import a Video

Launch CapCut on your PC, then click "+ New Project" and import a video that you want to export it as 4K quality. Then add the imported video to the timeline.

Step 2: Apply Effects to the Video

Firstly, navigate to the "Effect" section -> "Video effects" -> select the "B&W Sketch" effect from the "Comic" category and add it to the timeline. Extend this effect to make it match the length of the entire video.

Secondly, select the "Blur" Effect from the "Lens" category and add it to the timeline. Drag this effect to extend to the end of the original video.

Thirdly, click the "Export" button to save this as the first video.

Finally, delete the B&W Sketch effect from the timeline, and add the "Neon" effect from the "Comic" category. Then export to save this as the second video.

Step 3: Import 2 Processed Videos and Add them as Overlays

Firstly, remove all left special effects from the timeline.

Secondly, import two processed videos to local media. Drag the first one with the "B&W Sketch" effect to the timeline, above the original video. Then go to the right panel, click the "Video" section -> "Basic" option -> "Blend", and select "Color Burn" from the Mode list.

Finally, drag the second video with the "Neon" effect to the timeline, above the first one with the "B&W Sketch" effect. Then select "Color Dodge" from the Mode list.

If you find the effect is unnatural, especially for the portraits, you can lower the "Opacity" to make the overall frame more natural.
