CapCut - Photo & Video Editor 12+

I’ve had this app waaaay back when it wasn’t big. Yes the functions have drastically improved and are very good but now, everything is premium pro version only. I still get done what I need to get done but they removed all the good filters, editing tools like all the better fonts, transitions, stickers, effects & text animations. Also most of the auto caption, video/body/photo effects are not available in free.
TikTok integrated still in my country (uk) so u can switch between apps seamlessly to edit. AI tools such as writing context for you, adding captions automatically (English only in free version & no word highlighting). Has auto lyric creation for music. You can overlay (no PiP), record your own audio - pretty much all u need to get a just above basic video edited. But 90% of the good features are pro now sadly. Can export in various qualities. Rendering is not to slow & you can create your own thumbnails. There is an option to extract audio from gallery videos, import music but I do believe it will be copyright checked or you can do it manually. There is also a small amount of sound effects, text to audio/audio to text functions & create custom audio button. Unsure if you can import from Apple Music due to copyright check. Overall, still a great app but ruined by the 90% good feature lock to the pro paid version. Big let down. Good for those making quick social media videos on their phones or tablets, have no to intermediate editing skills.

I use capcut daily for my blog. It’s has some very good features, don’t get me wrong, but some new updates are very annoying. You have to update every single project you do, unfinished or finished, just to view it, every single time you update the app. Why? The pro membership needs working on. There are a lot of things you can’t do because of it which is frustrating. No point in advertising AI filters when half your users can’t even use it. The music needs updating. There are many tunes, but I can’t find the nice ones or ones that are trending. There is a lot of swearing. I’m okay with that, but does it have to pop up in every single video? Also why did you have to remove the live makeup filter! I loved that! Now I’m not going to be all negative, as your app is very sleek and easy to use, apart from the issues above. It is very fun, and I could spend hours looking at all the templates. Thank you for changing that layout, as it was so confusing, so that really helped. Overall, there are some things which need working on, but THANK YOU FOR THIS EASY AND FUN APP! (Could you try to make a trailer/movie section?)

I don’t usually write reviews but however I think some issues need to be addressed. As a teenage equestrian I used CapCut so often to make edits of me and my horse and I couldn’t fault it. I thought it was the most amazing app ever. I spent nearly every day using it. However, a large amount of those edits were slo mo ones, and recently CapCut have made it so you have to pay for PRO to have smooth slo mo. As it was the main feature I used, I was not very pleased as we are not able to pay £100 for a years subscription, just for me to use the smooth slo mo. I know there is probably many families out there who wouldn’t be able to afford that either. On top of that the slo mo (without the smooth slo mo feature on), is just really laggy and makes my videos look awful - I hate it as I want good quality videos to look back on but I don’t really have a choice. It’s such a shame as it really was the best editing app out there. However it is just unusable to me now. I understand that the company needs to make money but as the slo mo is the main thing that I use and many other equestrians use too - it just ruins the whole thing. If this is something that would affect you I do not recommend downloading this app. I loved CapCut and credit to the company, they have done a good job - the slo mo thing is just a huge problem. Otherwise I would have left a 5 star review. If something could be done about this it would mean so much - thank you.
