CapCut Colorize B&W video effect

What it's good for

• Adding a stylised look to a clip
• Intros, drops and accent moments
• Experimenting with a new style

How to find and use it

In CapCut, open the Effects tab, choose Video effects and search for "Colorize B&W". Drag it onto the timeline above your clip, then drag its ends to set how long it lasts.

If you build projects with scripts or templates, the ID above is what a CapCut project file uses to refer to it. CapCut downloads the effect the first time a project that uses it opens.

How we made this preview

The preview is a two-second clip rendered in CapCut over real scene footage, the same footage for every item on this site, so they compare fairly. How an effect looks depends a lot on your footage, so try it on yours.
