Here's how to make this effect using just your phone and CapCut. Ta-da! Yep, that was it. First, film a clip of yourself walking across the scene and then walking back again in the same path. Open CapCut and import your video. Add your text, start it with your brand font and colours and position it where you'll be walking. Then stretch your text layer so it matches the full length of your main clip. Next, duplicate your main clip, hit overlay and move that duplicate to the start of layer 3. Go to the layers tab and reorder the clips. Select the overlay clip on layer 3, go to mask, choose horizontal and position it so it sits centre of your body. And finally, add a keyframe. Scrub forward a few frames and move the mask so it follows your movement across the screen. CapCut will automatically add keyframes. As you walk back, just do the same, moving it in reverse to make the text disappear. Now, duplicate your main clip once more, go to remove background and select auto removal. Open the layers tab again and reorder the clips so your cutout layer is at the very top. That's it, your video should look like this.
