Editing travel videos is a fun way to share your adventures with the world. Whether you're visiting beaches, mountains, or cities, your video can become more exciting with the right tools and ideas. CapCut for desktop is a free and easy-to-use video editor that’s perfect for travellers who want to make cool videos.
In this blog post, you will learn 10 simple travel video editing tips using CapCut ona desktop. One of the most useful tools you can try is text to speech, which helps you add voice to your video without recording anything. Let’s get started!
Start with a Storyboard
Create a Travel Story
Before you begin editing, think about your video like a story. What do you want to show first—your flight, your hotel, or the view from the top of a mountain? Make a simple plan with what scenes go where. This helps your video feel complete and smooth.
Use Smooth Transitions
Use CapCut’s transition tools to switch from one clip to another. This makes your video look more professional. You can try fade-ins, slide-ins, or zoom transitions.
Organize Your Media Before Editing
Group Your Clips
Put your videos into folders based on places or events. For example, one folder can be “Day 1 – Beach,” and another can be “Day 2 – Hiking.” This makes editing easier.
Name Your Files Clearly
Rename your video files so you know what each one is. Instead of “IMG_001,” name it “Dubai Desert Safari.” This saves time when searching for clips.
Use the Text to Speech Feature for Voiceovers
Why Use Text to Speech?
Sometimes you don’t want to use your own voice, or maybe you don’t have a mic. CapCut’s text to speech feature is perfect. You type your words, and CapCut speaks them in a natural voice.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using It
Step 1: Import Video
Open the CapCut desktop video editor and import your video.
Step 2: Add Text to Speech
Click on Text and choose Add Text. Type your voiceover message. Right-click the text and choose Text to Speech. Pick a voice (male or female) and click Generate. You now have a voiceover in your video.
This is super useful when you're traveling and want to save time. You don’t need any microphone or audio recording—just type, and you’re done.
Step 3: Export Video
When you are satisfied from the video, finally click on the "Export" button and save your file to your PC or share it to your social media accounts.
Apply the Voice Changer for Creative Narration
Try Fun Voice Effects

Make Your Video Funny
