How to Batch Shoot & Edit Reels with CapCut

 🔄 Step 1: Plan Your Content (Weekly or Biweekly)

• Use a Content Calendar (like the one you shared).
• Break down each day’s reel theme, type, and shot list.
• Example: Monday - journaling, coffee, typing; Tuesday - B-roll of walking, computer work.

🎥 Step 2: Batch Shoot Footage

• Dedicate 1–2 days/week for shooting multiple reels.
• Shoot in natural light and clean environments.
• Capture extra B-roll to reuse across different reels.
• Use one outfit change per theme to maintain visual variety.

Tips:

• Film vertically (9:16).
• Shoot multiple angles (wide, close-up, top-down).
• Keep each clip short (2–5 seconds) for easier editing.

📁 Step 3: Organize Footage

• Create folders on your phone or computer:
• Reels > Monday Motivation, Reels > Tuesday B-Roll, etc.
• Rename or tag clips for easy identification in CapCut.
