I don't understand why you consider Capcut as the top free editor. With every update, it takes a free feature or two and makes it pro. The free version doesn't do much.

Hello, I had a queston

I’m looking to create review videos where I plan to add clips of a show over with my voice recorded in Audacity. I'm trying to decide between using the 2 software

Here's what I need the editor to do: Horizontally flip a video, Color grade a video, Speed up or slow down a video, Add text over a video, Add echo to my voice

I’m leaning towards CapCut because it’s more user-friendly, but I’m worried it might be too limited for my needs. Do you think CapCut can handle all of these tasks, or should I dive into DaVinci Resolve? I’m willing to learn DaVinci, but I’m hesitant because it seems more complicated and might have more tools than I actually need.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Moved on from davinci because of the errors i get from installing it, used for a long time, but theres nothing i can do, win 11 now kinda doesnt accept it for me. Maybe someone here had the 0x7b error?

[MrRobby]

JUSTIN I installed Capcut and signed in but I cannot locate a video recording tab/button/menu. Only the online Capcut has it. Is that correct or am I just not seeing it in the Win11 desktop?

[ThatGuyManny_V]

Which is better between Adobe Premiere & Davinci Resolve? Perhaps you can make a video on the differences..?

[victoriasharpemusic]

Hey Justin. What would you say the best video editing for multicam is (paid or unpaid) on Mac or even iPad? Thanks!

[rebeccahilbert]

Would you know why the export files from cap cut on Mac is so much larger than when 8 export a project from my pc? I can’t see what settings I’m choosing that are different however the output file on my Mac is double that of my pc. Would love to hear your thoughts on this. Thank you. 😊

I have some old camcorder tapes to edit up to an hour long. Is there a free video editor that does the job. I used capcut after many hours of editing tells me have to pay to export it 😢

[RonHarrisMe]

I just want some software to import a YouTube video for DEEP analysis. Do any of these do this? I am not interested in MAKING or POSTING videos. I want to import a video, and seek for hidden video editing being used. So, on the basic level, I need to be able to ZOOM and to SLOW the video. Much thanks.

[bryanreshape]

Amazing... Does the Capcut allow offline edit too? Unlike the Android version that requires that you stay online

[adamasdobermans]

Thanks as always for doing the grunt work for me!

[TMITooMuchInformation]

Great review! I just started using Capcut and it works well. Just two complaints. The first is that some of the interface isn't very intuitive. Probably just me learning. The other is the size of the timeline. It's teeny tiny even when I increase the height and use the zoom feature. I'd like to see them add the ability to import a script and use AI voices for it instead of just on the captions. I will probably continue to use and gain more experience.

[CharlieCook-jfeh]

How do you export a trimmed section of the video without having to export the entire video every time ???

[lavatr]

I have been watching this guy since I was little and he was always clear and made it easy to understand which the best editing software or the best somethings, etc. The point is, this guy is the best

[getstickbuglol]

Davinci is totally garbage and sucks, it cannot even read the media file..

[tjh]

Well you have to play 90 per year so it's not free
