✂️ 1. Beat Matching with Transitions

📌 Why it works: People love smooth, rhythmic edits synced to music.

• Use CapCut’s Beat Detection to auto-mark beats in a sound.

• Align cuts, flashes, and transitions with the beat drops.

• Try effects like Zoom, Flash, or Shake for impact.

🎧 Pro Tip: Fast cuts on beats = more energy = better viewer retention.

🎭 2. Text Reveal + Typewriter Style

📌 Why it works: Keeps viewers curious and hooked on what’s next.

• Add text overlays in CapCut with Typewriter or Bounce animation.

• Time each word or line with a beat or facial expression.

• Use dramatic pauses to build suspense.

💬 Great for storytime, advice, or relatable humor clips.

🔥 3. Glitch & Flash Transitions for Impact

📌 Why it works: Creates a dramatic vibe, perfect for fashion, makeup, or dance videos.

• Add Glitch, RGB Split, or Flash White between scenes.
