Hi,

I watched your video, and you are basically trying to recreate an animated yellow outline/frame that moves. You can do this inside CapCut, but not via Backgrounds the way you tried.

How to create a yellow rectangle frame (outline, not filled)

Your issue is that Backgrounds are always filled. For frames, you need Shapes or Overlays instead.

Correct way in CapCut

1. Open your project

2. Go to Elements → Shapes

3. Choose Rectangle

4. Add it to the timeline

Now the important part:

• Select the rectangle

• On the right panel:

  • Fill → set Opacity = 0%

  • Stroke / Border →

    • Turn it ON

    • Color: Yellow

    • Thickness: adjust to match the video (usually 6–12)

This gives you a transparent center + yellow outline, like in your video.

Resize it to match the frame look

• Drag the corners of the rectangle on the preview screen

• Stretch it so it sits slightly inside the edges like a border

• You can zoom the timeline for precision

Hold Shift while resizing to keep proportions neat.

How to animate the frame movement like in the video

CapCut uses Keyframes for this.

Recommended basic animation

1. Select the rectangle

2. Move the playhead to the start

3. Click the ◆ keyframe icon

4. Adjust:

   • Position

   • Scale

   • Rotation (if needed)

5. Move the playhead forward (e.g. 1–2 seconds)

6. Change the rectangle’s position or size

7. CapCut automatically creates motion between keyframes

That’s exactly how the movement in your video is done.

Smooth motion

After adding keyframes:

• Right-click the keyframe

• Choose Ease In / Ease Out

This removes the “robotic” movement and makes it feel professional.

Optional: Pre-made animation for faster effects

If you don’t want manual keyframes:

1. Select the rectangle

2. Go to Animation

3. Try:

   • In → Fade / Zoom

   • Loop → Swing / Pulse

You won’t get exact control, but it’s fast.

Common mistake to avoid

Do not use Backgrounds → always filled
Try to use Shapes with Stroke + 0% Fill

You were very close just in the wrong menu.
