Help!?
What can we use if CapCut or the CapCut Audio library isn't available?
If CapCut or its Audio library isn't available, use another free editor like VN or InShot to tap New Project, import 3–6 clips/photos, trim and reorder them, and add a royalty-free track from your device or the YouTube Audio Library while using PNG emojis as stickers.
What should we do if trimming clips or moving them on the timeline feels too fiddly?
If trimming or reordering is hard, pinch to zoom the timeline for finer control of the Trim tool, drag clips slowly to rearrange, and use the full preview to check timing before export.
How can I change the steps to suit different ages?
For younger kids (5–7) limit to 3 photos/clips, one bright filter and one sticker with a short song at low volume; for 8–12 add 4–6 clips, basic trims and one transition; for teens encourage precise trimming, multiple transitions, audio fades, and sticker placement before exporting.
How can we upgrade or personalize the colorful video after following the steps?
To enhance the project, add a title card or short voiceover, apply the same bright filter across key clips for color consistency, keyframe stickers to follow movement, and include captions before exporting and uploading to DIY.org.
