How to Save CapCut Desktop Projects Without a Title

Saving a CapCut desktop project without a title can be a helpful way to quickly create and share videos. This is especially useful when you need to create multiple versions of the same video or want to collaborate with others on a project. While CapCut automatically generates a default title when you save a project, you can easily modify or remove it later. In this article, we will provide step-by-step instructions on how to save CapCut desktop projects without a title, along with additional tips and tricks for managing your projects.

Step-by-Step Guide to Saving Projects Without a Title

Create a New Project: Open CapCut desktop and create a new project. Import your media files and make your edits as usual.
Save the Project: Once your project is complete, click on the "File" menu and select "Save Project." A dialog box will appear prompting you to enter a file name.
Remove the Title: In the file name field, delete the default title that CapCut has generated. Leave the field empty or enter a custom name without any spaces or special characters.
Save the Project: Click on the "Save" button to save the project without a title. CapCut will automatically assign a generic file name, such as "Untitled Project #1."

Tips and Tricks for Managing Projects

After saving a project without a title, it’s important to keep track of the file name to ensure you can easily find and edit it later. Here are some tips for managing untitled projects:

Use a File Explorer: Navigate to the folder where your CapCut projects are saved using a file explorer like Finder (Mac) or File Explorer (Windows). Untitled projects will have generic file names, so it’s helpful to organize them into subfolders based on the project type or date created.
Add a Description: Within the CapCut project file, add a brief description in the "Project Notes" section to help you identify the project later. Include details like the purpose of the video, who it’s intended for, or any specific deadlines.
Rename Projects Later: If you decide to add a title to the project later, simply open the project in CapCut and navigate to "File" > "Save Project." You can now enter a custom file name.

Exporting Your Project
