Why does Capcut Ruin Quality? How to Fix it? (2024)

I have been editing videos in CapCut for the last one year, but from a last few days, whenever I export my High-Quality video after editing, its quality gets ruined.

The video I edited after many hours of hard work becomes blurry and pixelated after exporting. I was very frustated by this problem. Then I tried to fix this problem.

And after testing a lot of export settings, when I exported my next video, it was exported in absolutely high quality. And I also found out the reasons behind poor export quality in CapCut.

So let’s know about those reasons, and solve this issue!

Why does CapCut Ruin Video Quality?

When I tried a lot of fixes and changed some CapCut Export Settings, I found out some reasons which ruins the video export quality in CapCut:

Slow Frame Rate

When you press the Export video button, there is an option to change the frame rate. By default, the frame rate is 30 FPS in CapCut, which display the video’s footages very slowly and the video quality gets ruined.

Low Resolution

If you keep the resolution settings low while exporting the video, your video quality will be ruined. And this is the main reason for the video being blurry.

Smart HDR is Turned On

Sometimes we turn on the Smart HDR option to enhance our video quality. There is no doubt that it increases the video quality by modifying the shadows, color, and exposure levels, but sometimes it does not match well with the colors of our video and spoils its quality.

Incorrect Aspect Ratio

Suppose if the aspect ratio of your project is 16:9, but the ratio of the video clips is 1:1, then the clip will not fit properly in the video and will be stretched, and spoil quality of your video.

Low Resolution Clips

If the clip you used in the video is itself low quality or resolution, CapCut can’t do much to improve it. So try to import high-quality videos.

Outdated App Version

If you are using an old version of CapCut, It is possible that the version you are using may have bugs that ruin video quality.

Why does a completed CapCut exported video get dark on Instagram?

If you have edited your video completely but it is looking dark on Instagram, then these could be the reasons behind it:

Color profile: CapCut uses a Rec. 709 color profile while Instagram uses a more compressed Rec. 601 profile. The color shift can make CapCut videos look darker on Instagram.

Dimmed previews: Sometimes Instagram previews appear dim at first, but if you check it after the video processing is completed, It will be normal.
