Performance Tips for Older Devices
- ✓
Close all other apps before opening CapCut to free up RAM for editing.
- ✓
Edit in lower resolution (720p) to improve performance on older devices.
- ✓
Avoid using too many effect layers at once — preview may lag on low-RAM devices.
- ✓
Export your video while the phone is plugged in and cool — heat can throttle performance.
- ✓
If CapCut crashes frequently, try clearing the app cache: Settings > Apps > CapCut > Clear Cache.
- ✓
For very old devices (Android 5.0-7.0), consider using an older CapCut version from our Old Versions page.
