Best CapCut Export Settings for 4K YouTube Videos

 Creating high-quality YouTube videos starts with great content—but it ends with the right export settings. If you’re editing in CapCut and want your videos to look crisp and professional in 4K resolution, it’s essential to know which settings to use for optimal quality and performance.

Whether you're using the standard CapCut app or the Mod APK version, here’s a quick guide to the best export settings for 4K YouTube videos. 📹

⚙️ Why Export Settings Matter

YouTube compresses all uploaded videos. That means even if you film in 4K, bad export settings can ruin your quality. Setting the right resolution, frame rate, and bitrate ensures your video stays sharp and smooth after upload.

✅ Recommended CapCut Export Settings for 4K YouTube Videos

Here’s what you should select when exporting your final project:

📐 Resolution: 3840 × 2160 (4K)

  • This is true 4K UHD resolution.
  • Choose 4K (2160p) from the export options.
  • Make sure your original clips were shot in 4K too—upscaling HD footage won’t look as good.

🎞 Frame Rate (FPS): 30 or 60 fps

  • For cinematic or talking-head content: 30 fps
  • For gaming, sports, or action: 60 fps for extra smoothness
  • In CapCut, you can adjust this in the export settings panel.

🎚 Bitrate: 16–50 Mbps

CapCut doesn’t let you manually change bitrate, but choosing 4K and a high frame rate usually results in a higher bitrate by default. Still, here’s a general reference:

Resolution: 4K

  • Frame Rate: 30 fps
  • Recommended Bitrate: 35–45 Mbps

Resolution: 4K

  • Frame Rate: 60 fps
  • Recommended Bitrate: 45–68 Mbps

🧠 Tip: Bitrate affects file size and quality. Higher bitrate = better quality, but larger files.

🎧 Audio: AAC, 128 kbps or higher

CapCut uses AAC audio compression. While you can't tweak the audio bitrate directly in the app, the export default is generally acceptable for YouTube.

🛠 How to Apply These Settings in CapCut

  1. Open your completed project.
  2. Tap the Export icon (top right corner).
  3. Under Resolution, select 4K.
  4. Under FPS, choose 30 fps or 60 fps depending on your content type.
  5. Tap Export and wait for the rendering to complete
That’s it! 🚀

📤 Upload Tips for YouTube

  • Once you've exported your video:
  • Watch it back before uploading to ensure no glitches.
  • Use a strong Wi-Fi connection to upload the large 4K file.
  • Choose “2160p” as the playback quality on YouTube to preview the final quality.

🧠 Final Thoughts

CapCut makes it incredibly easy to edit and export 4K YouTube videos—even from a phone. By choosing the correct export settings, you’ll keep your videos looking clean, vibrant, and professional.

🎥 Resolution: 4K (3840x2160)

🎞 Frame Rate: 30 or 60 fps

📶 Bitrate: As high as possible (CapCut auto handles)

🎧 Audio: AAC, 128kbps+

Stick to these, and your audience will notice the difference in quality.
