🔧 Step-by-Step Editing in CapCut
-
Open CapCut (Download CapCut).
-
Tap on New Project, and select the video clip you want to edit.
-
Tap Add, and split your clip wherever necessary.
-
Scroll down and tap on Adjust, then select Filters in the center.
-
Go to the Retro category and choose the Black Forest filter. Set intensity to around 60–70.
-
Under Adjust:
-
Increase Brightness as per your video.
-
Set Contrast to around 10.
-
Increase Saturation slightly (~10).
-
Set Brilliance to around 5–10.
-
Set Sharpen to 60–70 to enhance clarity.
-
🎨 HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness) Settings
This is where the magic happens—especially for that sharp, white face tone and the classic black-and-white look:
-
Skip Red, go to Orange:
-
Set Saturation to around -30 to -40
-
Increase Lightness moderately
This gives your face a clean white tone without overexposing.
-
-
Do the same for Yellow, Green, Blue, Dark Blue, and Purple:
-
Reduce Saturation and Lightness to make the background truly black and white.
-
✨ Final Adjustments in CapCut
-
Go to Highlights and slightly reduce them.
-
Increase Shadows to bring out hidden details.
-
Reduce Temp (Temperature) for a cooler tone.
-
Finally, go to Fade/Vignette and increase it slightly for a cinematic touch.
Now play your video—you’ll be surprised how stunning it looks in monochrome.
Export it in Full HD 1080p, and set the frame rate to 30 or 60 FPS.
🚀 Enhancing Video Quality in Wink AI
Next, use the Wink AI app (Download Wink AI) to enhance the video even further.
-
Open Wink and go to the AI Repair option.
