How this list was made
The rows come from capcut.com/template, capcut.com/explore/instagram-reels-template and capcut.com/explore/slow-motion-template, which show a use count for each template. Counts are cumulative, so an older template with a big lead can sit above a newer one that is growing faster.
The pages were read from outside the US, and CapCut can show different results by region. Treat the list as a snapshot, not a ranking CapCut publishes.
What is trending in September 2026
- Slow-motion and velocity edits: several of the most-used templates are "slowmo" or "smooth" beat edits.
- Couple and anniversary montages: memories, collages and calendar-style recaps.
- Relatable formats: "what makes you happy", "Social Anxiety", "before social media" and "Me vs Others".
- Fan and car edits on hard-hitting tracks, such as K-pop edits and phonk car edits.
Faster than a template

Why you might not see a trending template
CapCut's help says some templates are limited by region, and the feed is personalised. TikTok template links and many community templates only open in the mobile app, not on desktop. If a template is missing, try the TikTok link on your phone or search its title in the app.
