CapCut
CapCut is a video editing application developed by ByteDance, the company behind TikTok.
It is designed for creating short-form videos, social media content, and professional-quality
edits. CapCut features a non-linear, timeline-based editing system, allowing users to cut, trim,
apply effects, and enhance video content with ease. Originally launched under the name
Viamaker, it was later rebranded to CapCut and rose in popularity due to its seamless
integration with TikTok and other platforms. With a user-friendly interface and powerful
editing tools, CapCut caters to both beginners and professional editors.
Overview of CapCut
Interface Layout:
➢ Media Library: This is interface where users import and manage their media files,
including videos, images, and audio clips to Edit project.
➢ Preview Panel: Allows users to preview and playback the edited video in real time.
Users can check changes before exporting.
➢ Timeline Panel: The core editing area where clips are arranged, cut, trimmed, and
layered. Multiple tracks enable complex editing.
➢ Toolbar: A set of tools such as cut, split, speed, and transition effects for editing clips
efficiently.
➢ Effects & Filters Panel: Contains a variety of visual effects, color filters, and
animations that can be applied to enhance the video.
➢ Audio Panel: Allows users to add background music, voiceovers, and sound effects
while also offering audio adjustments.
➢ Text & Stickers Panel: Provides animated text, captions, and stickers for creative
enhancements in videos.
Step 2: Import the media files from files or simply drag and drop your media files into the
project panel.
Step 4: Use Selection tool (V) to trim and cut clips as needed. And, place the clips in the order
you want to appear in final video
Step 6: Add text in the beginning and the middle of the video by using Text tool. And, edit the
text according to your need.
Step 8: Go to export and choose your export settings (format, resolution, etc). Click Export to
Desktop and save your final video.
THEORY:
Timeline-based animation is a method of creating motion by using keyframes placed along a
timeline. Each keyframe represents a specific point in time where you define how an object
should appear—like its position, rotation, scale, or opacity. Photoshop smoothly fills in the
frames between keyframes to create the illusion of continuous movement. This technique is
perfect for making animations like moving shapes, fading text, or rotating graphics.
Steps to Create a Timeline-Based Animation in Photoshop
Create a New Document:
➢ Open Photoshop and create a new document (e.g., 1920x1080 pixels).
Draw the Square:
➢ Select the Oval Tool and draw an Oval circle.
➢ Rename the layer to "Circle" for better organization.
Open the Timeline:
➢ Go to Window > Timeline
➢ Click Create Video Timeline to enable animation features.
Add Keyframes:
➢ Select the Transform property in the Timeline panel.
➢ At Frame 0, click the stopwatch icon next to Transform to create the first keyframe.
Rotate and Resize the Square:
➢ Move the playhead forward on the timeline.
➢ Use Free Transform (Ctrl+T / Cmd+T) to rotate and resize the circle.
➢ Photoshop will auto-generate new keyframes for the changes.
Preview the Animation:
➢ Press Play in the Timeline panel to see the animation in action.
Export the Animation:
➢ Go to File > Export > Render Video to export as a video.
➢ To save as a GIF: File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy).

Conclusion
In this lab, we explored how timeline-based animation provides precise control over object
movement and transformation. By using keyframes, motion tweens, and easing effects, we
were able to create smooth and visually engaging animations.
THEORY
In this project, we have created an animation using the timeline and scene-based animation .
The steps below provide a detailed breakdown of the process we followed to animate the text
and other graphical elements.
Creating an Animation in Canva:
1. Set Up the Project and Elements
➢ Create a New Design: Open Canva and click Create a Design → Choose Custom Size
(e.g., 500x500 pixels).
➢ Add Text & Graphics: Insert any text and any graphic elements of your choice.
➢ Layer Management: Arrange elements properly, as Canva does not support layer-
based animation.
2. Apply Animations
➢ Select an Element: Click on the text or graphic you want to animate.
➢ Choose an Animation: Go to the Animate option in the top menu and choose effects
like: Fade up, Blur, Fade In etc and typewriter or Neon for text effects.
➢ Adjust Timing: Click on the animation settings to change duration and delay.
3. Use Page Transitions for Scene-Based Animation
➢ Duplicate pages with slight element changes.
➢ Apply page transitions for smooth movement.
4. Preview & Refine
➢ Click Play to preview the animation.
➢ Adjust animations, transitions, and timing for a smoother effect.
5. Export the Animation
➢ Choose MP4 for a high-quality animated video.
Conclusion
In this lab, we learned how to create a GIF animation using keyframes, motion tweens, and
frame-based editing in canvas.
These design principles and animation techniques help create visually appealing and effective
animated banner ads.
