How to Import A Previous Project

To use content from a previous project in your current one, you can follow the same steps on CapCut Online, Desktop, or Mobile:

    1
  1. Open your previous project in CapCut.
  2. 2
  3. Export the project in full to your device.
  4. 3
  5. Open your current project.
  6. 4
  7. Import the exported video file into the project and continue editing.

Important Notes

  • CapCut currently does not support cross-draft editing or directly importing one project file into another.
  • Once a project is exported, it is treated as a video file when imported into another project. Individual layers, effects, or tracks cannot be edited separately after import.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Future Improvements

We are continuously working to improve CapCut's editing experience. Support for more flexible project management features may be added in future updates.
