Workflow overview

CapCut creators rely on VoiceOver Maker for clear narration that cuts through background music. This guide shows you how to write a punchy script, generate an AI voiceover, and align clips for maximum retention.

Prep checklist

Hook, problem, solution, CTA · Vertical clips (9:16) · Trending sound reference (optional).

Audio settings

Export MP3 256 kbps, -6 dB normalization, auto duck music to -18 dB inside CapCut.

Step-by-step

  1. 1
    Outline your script in VoiceOver Maker. Break it into beats (hook, context, action). Keep each beat under 5 seconds for CapCut transitions.
  2. 2
    Select a trending voice preset. Use Creator Nova or Hype Studio voices, add emphasis on keywords, and insert pause markers for transitions.
  3. 3
    Render and export MP3 audio. Choose Export > MP3 with 256 kbps and save to Files or directly into CapCut using the Share Sheet.
  4. 4
    Import into CapCut. Create a new project, add your footage, then import the AI narration as the primary audio track.
  5. 5
    Cut visuals to the beat. Use split cuts on each script beat. Apply speed ramps or zooms to highlight moments.
  6. 6
    Add captions and sound. Use CapCut auto captions, layer a trending track at 10% volume, and animate text to match the script pacing.
  7. 7
    Export and publish. Export in 1080p 60fps, upload to TikTok or Reels, and reuse the VoiceOver Maker preset for future posts.

Optimization tips

  • Duplicate your project in CapCut to create a platform-specific outro for Instagram and YouTube Shorts.
  • Pair with VoiceOver Maker’s Shorts Mode to automatically trim long pauses between clips.
  • Recycle winning scripts by swapping the voice for another accent to localize your content.
