CapCut - Photo & Video Editor 12+

I don’t usually do reviews ever but I really do think the developers deserve the credit where it’s due. This is hands down the best editing software I’ve ever used on a smartphone to the point where, for my own editing purposes and what I do…I never want to use a pc for editing again. It’s so much faster to do it on your phone these days and these guys nailed it. Everything easy to find and add Filters / Effects/ Music etc

Sure, It’s not necessarily going to be used by universal studios but that’s not the point of this software is it? It isn’t trying to be something that it’s not and because of that it doubles down on what it’s good at. Being a fast, feature rich and efficient phone video editor. The audio extraction feature is incredible and editing the soundtrack is a breeze. Only very small gripe with that is I wish you could zoom in just a little more to make macro adjustments when splicing tracks together. All in all, for the average user where speed and ease of use trumps all else, ie most people…
Best. Video. Editor. Ever.

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.

I enjoy using this app to make and edit videos, but hardly anything for the video effects and other tabs is free unfortunately, there isn’t much freedom without paying currently. I understand that you need money and to add pro features in order to run the app, I am finding it really difficult to make a good edits because everything is labelled with Pro and it’s making it a difficult process and everything feels incredibly limited and I feel like Pro needs to be either changed to allow more freedom for those who don’t want to spend money or can’t or I have an idea that might help, maybe you have to watch multiple ads to get certain effects but their is still premium ones, you don’t have to add this but it’s a suggestion that might help free users feel less restricted. Most of the free effects are very bland and aren’t very useful for making high quality edits. Also I can’t find a single app to make good edits without being restricted and limited by subscriptions, I can’t make anything that I’m proud of due to paywalls. overall if your a app user reading this, I recommend the app but keep in mind you have pay money for a huge amount of the effects, and the free effects you get might not be very helpful for making high quality edits, so just bare that in mind.
