We're excited to let you know that the dedicated iPad app is currently in Beta development.
This is a known usability challenge when using CapCut on iPad, and it's primarily due to how the app is currently optimized (or not fully optimized) for tablet touch interaction.
The CapCut mobile app will not be taken offline or replaced by CapCut for iPad. Both versions are actively supported and designed for different editing needs and use cases.

If your CapCut-edited video plays with audio in the editor or on your device—but has no sound after being posted to TikTok—this is almost always due to TikTok's automated copyright enforcement system, not an error in CapCut.
If your favorite music or audio track has disappeared from a CapCut project or library, this is usually due to licensing restrictions, platform limitations, or sync/account issues—not a bug.
As of January 2026, CapCut's Auto Caption (also called "Recognise Subtitles") feature uses AI speech-to-text technology to automatically generate subtitles from spoken audio in your video.

CapCut is continuously improving its AI and creative features to better support different styles, formats, and creative needs.
"Garbled text" (e.g., random symbols like "#@!%", distorted characters, or unreadable glyphs) in AI-generated images typically occurs when the AI model attempts to simulate text-like shapes without understanding real language, or when non-Latin scripts are misrendered due to font or encoding limitations.
When using AI image generation in CapCut, you may notice that people, objects, colors, poses, or scene elements differ significantly between generations—even with the same prompt.
When using AI-powered design tools in CapCut, you might sometimes feel your output looks generic, uninspired, or visually unbalanced—even when following prompts carefully. This isn't a flaw in the tool, but often stems from how prompts are framed, the level of creative guidance provided, or the inherent limitations of current generative models.
A "poor layout effect" in your CapCut project—such as misaligned elements, cluttered composition, inconsistent spacing, or unbalanced visuals—can stem from several causes, including template limitations, manual editing choices, resolution mismatches, or how AI-generated assets are integrated.
Low clarity in AI-generated images within CapCut can result from model limitations, resolution settings, prompt quality, or post-generation scaling.
While membership grants access to exclusive effects, templates, and assets, it's possible that some effects you previously used are no longer available in the app.

"Auto Cut" is an AI-powered editing feature in CapCut that automatically trims and syncs your clips to music beats, speech pauses, or text prompts.
Encountering the "Couldn't apply AI background" error is usually due to hitting the daily usage limit for this specific feature or a temporary processing failure.
Some AI effects or templates you previously used may no longer appear in CapCut.
Once an AI effect or template is removed from CapCut, it's typically no longer available for reapplication, even if you used or favorited it before.
