How to convert CapCut to DaVinci Resolve

Convert a CapCut desktop project to DaVinci Resolve. Upload the project's draft_info.json and download a file DaVinci Resolve opens with your cuts, speed changes, transforms, volume, fades, transitions and text.

  1. Find the project file

    On a Mac it's in ~/Movies/CapCut/User Data/Projects/com.lveditor.draft/, one folder per project; on Windows, %LOCALAPPDATA%\CapCut\User Data\Projects\com.lveditor.draft\. Open the folder with your project's name and take draft_info.json (draft_content.json on Windows).

  2. Drop it here and convert

    The converter reads the CapCut timeline: the main track and overlays as video tracks, each clip's own sound and your music on audio tracks, and text and captions as titles. Resolve opens the .drp as a project with one timeline at the CapCut project's frame rate and size.

  3. Open it in DaVinci Resolve

    File > Import Project in Resolve's Project Manager, then open the project. Keep the media where CapCut had it, or relink it once in DaVinci Resolve.

CapCut project and DaVinci Resolve project, explained

CapCut stores a project as JSON: every clip with its trim in microseconds, its speed, and its position and scale relative to the frame. CutConvert reads those values as CapCut 9.5 writes them and rebuilds them in DaVinci Resolve's own terms. A clip CapCut scaled to 120% of the frame lands at the same size, and a crop keeps the framing CapCut showed. CapCut's effects, filters, stickers and text animations have no counterpart in DaVinci Resolve. The conversion report lists each one by name so you can recreate what you need.

CapCut has no way to export an edit for DaVinci Resolve. Your edit is in the project's draft_info.json (draft_content.json on Windows). Drop it here and DaVinci Resolve opens it with your clips, trims and speed changes in place. It is free to start, encrypted in transit, and converts a whole batch into one ZIP — sign in when you need large, high-volume jobs.

CapCut to DaVinci Resolve FAQ

Can CapCut export a project to DaVinci Resolve?

Not from CapCut itself. CapCut has no XML, AAF or project export. This page reads the project's draft_info.json and writes the .drp project file Resolve imports.

Do I need DaVinci Resolve Studio?

No. The .drp opens in the free version of DaVinci Resolve. We test it in free Resolve 21.

Does CapCut have to be installed?

No. The project file has the whole edit. DaVinci Resolve needs the media files themselves. The conversion runs in your browser, so neither the project nor your media is uploaded.

What about CapCut effects and filters?

They're CapCut's own and don't exist in DaVinci Resolve. They're left out and listed by name in the conversion report. Cuts, speed, position, scale, rotation, opacity, crop, keyframes, volume, fades, dissolves and text all carry over.

My clips come in offline. Why?

The project points to your media where CapCut found it. Library clips from CapCut's own stock and music live in CapCut's cache folder; relink those in DaVinci Resolve or swap them for your own files.

Is it free?

Projects up to 500 KB convert free; that covers a short edit. A full-length project is a one-time project conversion or a Pro plan.

Free to start

Convert everyday batches for free. Create an account when you need large, high-volume jobs.

Batch in, one ZIP out

Convert a batch within your allowance and download a single ZIP, or one file if that is all you need.

Made for editors

Whole timelines from Premiere, Final Cut and Avid with transitions, markers, titles, keyframes, levels, nests and bins; captions that keep their italics, colour, placement and speakers across SRT, VTT, ASS, TTML, iTT, SCC and STL, any of them in, any of them out; transcripts into Premiere with the words the engine timed. Frame rates and timecode handled the way post expects.

Private by design

Files are converted in your browser. Queued files can be saved locally to restore your job after checkout. Conversion metadata helps us diagnose errors; file contents are not uploaded.

Questions, answered

Where are my files processed?

In your browser. The converter runs on your own machine and the file never leaves it; the site only records that a conversion happened. CutConvert never sees, stores, sells or shares your media.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

About an hour of footage per file is free, on every converter: 100 KB of subtitles or captions, 500 KB of Word transcript, 2 MB of transcript JSON, 1 MB of Resolve project, 5 MB of Final Cut XML, with Premiere projects and Avid AAF a little under the hour. CapCut projects are free up to 500 KB, a short edit, since their size follows how much is in the edit rather than its length. Guests get five conversions a month, a free account has no monthly cap within those sizes, and above that project-to-project transfers are $5 per file. Every other conversion is $3, including project files to captions, reports or cut lists, and captions or transcripts into an editor. Pro is $9 a month ($90 a year) for every file type up to 50 MB; Studio is $19 a month ($190 a year) for files up to 500 MB. Paid-file access lasts 24 hours.

What do I get when I convert multiple files?

Drop several files and you get back one ZIP archive containing every converted file. Convert a single file and you get that one file back, no ZIP. Tick extra formats under the output chips and the same ZIP carries every one of them, and a file counts as one conversion whatever it is written to.

Which formats are supported?

Timelines: Premiere .prproj, DaVinci Resolve .drp (as exported, or gzip- or Zstandard-wrapped), Avid AAF and Final Cut FCPXML in; FCP7 XML, FCPXML, Resolve .drp, CMX 3600 EDL and shot-list CSV out. A Premiere or Final Cut edit travels with its transitions, markers, titles, opacity and scale keyframes, clip volume, speed changes, nested sequences, bins, audio channel routing and each file's own frame rate, wherever the output has a place for them; an Avid AAF brings its transitions, markers, clip levels with their keyframes, muted tracks, nested stacks and each clip's own rate. Captions and transcripts, read and written: SRT, WebVTT, SBV, ASS, TTML, DFXP, iTT, SCC, MCC (a second 608 channel comes out as its own file), EBU-STL, Avid caption TXT, CapCut drafts of any size, timed CSV, Word, plain text, Whisper, WhisperX, AssemblyAI, Deepgram, Rev.ai and CapCut JSON, TwitchDownloader chat logs as a chat replay, Premiere transcript JSON and .prtranscript, Rev, Otter and Word-style transcripts, with italics, colour, placement and speakers kept where the output can hold them and measured word timing into Premiere. EDLs become event CSV reports. The capability table lists what every pair keeps.

Can I pick a frame rate?

Yes. For EDL and Avid caption output you can choose 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, or 30 fps, or let CutConvert auto-detect it from your source.
