Export your edit to CapCut

Choose regular or multicam export, keep the media available and troubleshoot a project that is missing or imports incorrectly.

Use the Gling desktop app and an eligible paid plan for an editable CapCut project. A finished MP4 is a separate option if you only need the cleaned video.

Send an editable project to CapCut

  1. Install and open CapCut Desktop on the same computer as Gling. Keep the original recordings available.
  2. Open your edit in Gling and choose Export.
  3. Choose CapCut for a regular edit, or CapCut multicam when you need the camera angles available in the destination.
  4. At Copy media files?, choose Copy medias to put media into the CapCut project's folder. This needs additional disk space. Skip copy leaves the export dependent on existing file locations.
  5. Wait for the export to finish, then check CapCut's local project list. If CapCut was already open, close and reopen it to refresh the list.

Gling writes a CapCut project into CapCut's local project area. This is not a Premiere XML or Final Cut XML file to import. The project name ends with - Gling.

Gling export menu showing Video MP4, Audio WAV, Subtitles SRT and regular or multicam options for Premiere, Final Cut, Resolve and CapCut.
Choose CapCut or CapCut multicam for the direct project handoff. Use the desktop app; Video creates a separate finished MP4.

Check the imported result

Play the beginning, several cut boundaries and the ending. Check camera selection, microphone audio, enhancement, captions, B-roll and framing separately. A project appearing in the list does not prove that every effect transferred correctly.

With multicam, Gling's preview displays a selected angle. That is different from placing consecutive recordings one after another. Review your source-track arrangement before recreating a project, because processing it again can use allowance.

If the project is missing or the media is offline

  • Confirm that the export finished in the desktop app and that you have enough internal disk space for copied media.
  • Keep the original files in their working folder. Reconnect an external drive if the export references it.
  • Update Gling and make a fresh export. Updating does not repair an older exported project folder.
  • Keep the failed export and note the exact Gling and CapCut versions. Send support the project name, error and a screenshot of the destination.

Older releases had CapCut timing and project-name problems. The current exporter replaces path separators in project names. Do not assume an old workaround diagnoses a new failure.

Use an MP4 when you need a finished video

Choose Export > Video (.mp4), then import that finished file into CapCut. It contains the rendered Gling edit; it does not preserve separate editable cuts, camera angles and overlays. For color changes, see washed-out export colors.
