Have you seen those videos where someone appears to jump right out of a phone screen and wondered how they made it?
You can create that pop-out effect in CapCut using a video you record on your phone and a simple green-screen phone image. You do not need to film anything complicated. The effect comes from layering your clips in the right order and removing parts of those layers so your body appears to move from inside the phone to in front of it.
If you want to learn how to make a pop-out video in CapCut, this tutorial walks you through the full process from the original recording to the finished video. You’ll see how to set up your shot so the effect works properly, add a phone image as an overlay, remove the green screen, and create the layer that makes you appear to jump forward.
How does the CapCut pop-out effect work?
The trick is not one special CapCut effect. It is created by combining several tools, including overlays, Chroma Key, background removal, duplicating clips, splitting video, and adjusting the order of your layers.
The video also shows you a small but important final step with the audio. Because the original video is duplicated to create the effect, the sound on the extra copy needs to be turned off before you export your finished video.
Watch the tutorial below and follow along in CapCut. Seeing where each clip sits on the editing timeline makes this effect much easier to understand than trying to figure it out from the finished Reel alone.
