Tutorial: Exporting Videos without Cap Cut Watermark

This guide provides instructions on how to revert to an older version of Cap Cut for PC to export videos without a watermark for free.

Issue

• The latest version of Cap Cut no longer allows free video exports without a watermark.

Solution

Reverting to an Older Version

1. Identify Compatible Version:

   • Cap Cut version 6.1 or lower allows video export without a watermark.

2. Check Installed Versions:

   • Previous versions may already exist in the Cap Cut installation directory on your PC.

3. Reverting Steps:

   • If you have multiple versions installed:

     • Open the Cap Cut installation directory via a desktop/taskbar shortcut:

       1. Right-click the shortcut and choose "properties".
       2. Click "open file location".
       3. Navigate to 'apps' to find all installed versions.

     • Without a shortcut:

       1. Open Cap Cut settings from the home window.
       2. Click the folder icon next to the preset save path.
       3. Copy the path, open File Explorer, paste it into the address bar and press enter.
       4. Locate 'apps' to find all versions.

   • If no previous versions are installed:

     • Uninstall the current version and download the previous one from a provided GitHub page (link in the video description).

Launching an Older Version

1. Make sure Cap Cut is closed.
2. Open the folder containing the desired version (e.g., 5.6.0).
3. Find and double-click the Cap Cut application file to launch.

Downgrading a Project

1. Open Incompatible Project:

   • Create a new project in the older version for reference (e.g., name it "ABC").
   • Navigate to the save path in settings and copy the location.

2. Modify Project Files:

   • Open the project folder in File Explorer.
   • Open draft_content.json in Notepad.

3. Replacing Version Numbers:

   • Find and replace the newer version number with the version from the new project.
   • Replace the "app version" fields to match the desired older version (e.g., 5.6.0).

Final Steps

• Save the changes to draft_content.json.
• Open the downgraded project in Cap Cut 5.6.0 (or the older version used).
• Export the video without a watermark.

Conclusion

By reverting to an older version and adjusting your project files, you can continue exporting videos without watermarks.
