USING A CAPCUT TEMPLATE
Film a setup clip with the 2 and 4 cards, then a matching reveal clip with the car in place behind you. Drop both into the template and line the swipe up with the cut point.
WHAT A TEMPLATE CAN'T DO
A template assembles clips — it doesn't create them. You still need the car, the location, matched framing, and a lens wipe clean enough to hide the edit.
CAPCUT VS. AI
Template when you can shoot both halves yourself. AI when all you have is a selfie and a photo — or when you want the whole 15-second sequence without touching a timeline.
TIME AND COST, HONESTLY
The template route costs filming time, retakes and editing — usually an evening. The AI route costs $9.99 and about ten minutes, and it works from anywhere.
