If you’ve ever wanted to add that slick, professional touch to your videos, you’ve probably wondered, “How do I make text follow objects in my videos?” Well, CapCut PC makes it surprisingly easy! With its motion tracking feature, you can follow the movement of an object effortlessly. So, let’s dive into how to use motion tracking in CapCut PC—don’t worry, it’s way simpler than it sounds!
Getting Started with CapCut PC
First things first—open CapCut on your computer. Don’t have it yet? Well, it’s free and super intuitive. Once it’s open, hit “Start Creating” to jump right into the editor. Here’s where the magic happens.
Now, what’s a video without, well, a video? Head over to the Media section and import your footage from your PC. Whether it’s that epic vacation clip or your latest TikTok creation, select the footage and hit “Open.” You’ll see your video appear in the media section like a blank canvas waiting for your creativity.
Adjusting Your Footage
Now that your video is on the editing track, stretch it out if needed. Want to show just the best part of your clip? You can drag and adjust the video’s length until it’s just right.
Adding Some Text Magic
Before we dive into the motion tracking part, let’s add some text. After all, text that moves with an object? That’s next-level cool.
Go to the Text Tab and drag in some custom text. This is where you can have fun—think of it like choosing a fun font for a school project, but with way more creative freedom. Adjust its position and duration on the track using the stretching tool. Want to change the text’s color? Go wild! You can also tweak the font size and even add some stylish touches like bold or shadow effects.
Applying Motion Tracking
Alright, here comes the fun part: motion tracking. This is where your text will start to follow objects in your video, like a dog following its favorite toy!
- Click on the Tracking Tab in the top menu.
- Select Motion Tracking from the options. Now, this is where things get interesting!
- You can customize how the tracking works—do you want the object to be followed forward, backward, or both ways? You even have options like scaling (making the text larger or smaller as the object moves) and distance following.
Pro Tip: Resize the motion tracking box to fit perfectly over the object. It’s like drawing a square around the thing you want your text to follow—super simple.
Once you’re ready, click Start. Depending on the size of your file, CapCut might need a few moments to work its magic. Grab a snack while you wait!
Check Your Work
After the motion tracking is applied, hit play, and voilà! Watch as the text follows the object smoothly. It’s like having your very own special effects studio right on your PC.

Remember, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Once you’ve nailed motion tracking, why not experiment with different fonts, colors, or even add a quirky animation to your text?
