There could be several reasons why the video quality appears to degrade when you export it compared to when you view it in a video editing software like CapCut: Export Settings: Check the export settings of your video. Ensure that you are exporting the video in the highest quality possible. Look for options related to resolution, bitrate, codec, and compression settings. Compression: When exporting videos, compression algorithms are commonly used to reduce file size. Sometimes, if the compression settings are too aggressive, it can result in a noticeable loss of quality. Resolution: Make sure that the resolution of the exported video matches the resolution of your original footage. Exporting a video at a lower resolution than the source material can lead to a loss in quality. Bitrate: The bitrate of the exported video affects the quality. Higher bitrates generally result in better quality but also larger file sizes. Adjusting the bitrate settings can help improve the quality of your exported video. Codec: The codec you choose for exporting can have an impact on the video quality. Some codecs are better at preserving quality than others, so try experimenting with different codec options. Hardware Acceleration: Ensure that your hardware is utilized properly during the export process. Some video editing software allows you to leverage hardware resources like GPU for faster and better-quality exports. Software Issues: There could be a glitch or issue with the export process in the software you are using. Try exporting the video in a different format or using a different software to see if the quality improves. By checking these aspects and making adjustments as necessary, you can often improve the quality of the exported video.
