I have linked my TikTok account to CapCut but I cannot edit my videos in my drafts by exporting them to CapCut directly.
How do I resolve this issue?
Hi,
The direct export of TikTok drafts to CapCut for editing isn't a universally available feature, even though the accounts are linked. It's a feature that has been rolled out in some regions and for some users, but not all.
This issue comes from recent changes in TikTok's features, which previously facilitated direct transfers to CapCut, no longer available. Here is how you can do a workaround:
- TikTok and CapCut often roll out features gradually, starting out in specific regions. Direct export might not be available in your country yet.
- Ensure both your TikTok and CapCut apps are updated to the latest versions. Older versions might not support this integration.
- Sometimes the feature could be temporarily unavailable if any bugs have been reported or not fully rolled out.
- There might be limitations based on the type of TikTok account you have (personal vs. business).
Alternative ways to edit TikTok Drafts in CapCut:
- Save Video to Device:
- In TikTok, go to your drafts.
- Open the draft video you want to edit.
- Look for the "Save Video" option (usually an icon that looks like a downward arrow or a save button). This will save the video to your phone's gallery/camera roll.
- Ensure to choose to save without the watermark.
- Then, open CapCut and import the saved video from your device.

2. Screen Recording:

-
- Play your draft: Open the TikTok app, navigate to your drafts, and play the video you wish to edit.
- Record the screen: Use your device's built-in screen recording feature to capture the video.
- Import to CapCut: Save the recorded video and import it into CapCut for editing.

3. Save the video if it is a public video:
-
- If the TikTok video is already public (not a draft), you can download it directly from TikTok (if the creator allows downloads) and then import it into CapCut.
4. Checking for Updates:
- TikTok: Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and check for updates for the TikTok app.
- CapCut: Similarly, check for updates for the CapCut app in the respective app store.
