How to overlay on CapCut. Overlay is one of the features in video editing applications for mobile devices that can combine an object, either a photo or a video, with other objects to overlap in the same frame or screen.
This overlay feature can be used in a variety of ways. For example, to combine two or more pictures or videos on one screen, add logos or stickers to the video, insert additional video effects, edit green screen videos, make text as video captions, and so on.
It’s just that, not all video editing applications have an overlay feature. If you think that this overlay feature is only available in paid video editing apps, you are wrong. In fact, the premium versions of the InShot and FilmoraGo apps still don’t have this feature.
The interesting fact is, there are several free video editing applications for Android smartphones that have an overlay feature, including VN Video Editor and CapCut, formerly known as ViaMaker.
In the following I will give you an example of a tutorial on how to make an overlay in the CapCut application. Learn and practice carefully.
