How to Create a Cooking Demo with CapCut Desktop
Making a cooking demo is just like preparing a fine dish--there's timing, presentation, and flavor. With CapCut, create some scrumptious recipe videos in your desktop and capture every sizzle and stir. Here's how to make your next cooking video in just four simple steps:
Step 1: Import and Prep Your Ingredients
Install CapCut Desktop after downloading. Run the software, and hit New Project to set up your workspace. Importing raw clips of the recipe, from chopping to stirring to plating, comes next by clicking Import and sifting through ingredient card images and kitchen music.
Order the loaded assets on the timeline in a way that makes logical sense to you (e.g., prepping, cooking, serving). Next, change the video format as needed: click on the Settings icon above the timeline and select 9:16 for vertical platforms such as TikTok, or 16:9 for YouTube. Keeping the aggregate time for the video under 90 seconds keeps attention and makes it shareable.

Step 2: Add Flavor with Narration and Captions
With CapCut's Text-to-Speech, you won't even need to record voiceovers to narrate your recipe steps. Open the program, click on the Text tab, and select Text-to-Speech. Type in a line, like, "Now add two eggs and whisk." Choose a loving or cheerful voice, and hit Generate. The narration should come in as an audio file, which you can now drag beneath your video layer to sync with the activity.
Add clarification with these food labels and captions. In the Text tab, add cues like "Prep: 10 mins" or "Bake at 180°C." Pick simple yet legible fonts and animate them with slide-in or gentle fade effects. Transition effects like Cross Fade or Zoom will further enhance your video's flow.
Step 3: Speed Things Up with AI Tools and Voice Effects
Now, let’s spice things up with a little Voice Changer. From the Audio menu, select your narration track and choose “Voice Changer.” Pick a voice style that works for the dish: “Lively” for brunch-type content; “Warm” for cozy comfort food. Adjust the pitch to blend in nicely with the visuals.
Step 4: Export & Share Your Tasty Final Cut
Once everything is set, preview your cooking demo with the play button above the timeline. Make tiny edits to pacing and follow-through on your story. When happy, click Export in the top-right corner.
Pick the MP4 format option, 1080p, and 60fps so that nothing can adulterate your video worth relishing in sharp details. Name the video something very appetizing, like “EasyEggToast2025,” save it, and share it, wherever you like—TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube.
