Very easy to use!

“Fantastic app, very easy to use and multiple options for all needs!!! This is what I was looking for a long time!!! And all this is for free…veryy cool!!!”

Absolute best editing app out there!

Earlier this year I’ve never heard of CapCut, until a friend who is a content creator mentioned it. She swore by it and still does. We collaborated on a TikTok video together and it was fun, easy, and quick to use that it’s all I’ve been using ever since!

Perfect for beginner and intermediate editors!

There’s man effects and filters vou can use on this!

You can crop videos, add text, and even share your creations with friends and even online apps like YouTube and TikTok! And there’s no stupid watermark unless you use a template! CapCut makes it much easier to edit.

Omg 😆 ✨AMAZING✨

CapCut is an amazing app it is great for TikTok, Instagram reels, YouTube shorts and stuff like that! And if you’re lazy like me, just go to the templates bar at the bottom and look through the templates people have made that you can use! And if you would like to, you could become a CapCut creator!

Best Video Editing Software

Started to use this on my phone but once I found out they made a desktop version of this, I immediately installed it. This is one of the best video editing software out there and very user-friendly. 

Surprisingly Amazing

I didn’t have high expectations for this but I ended up straight up falling in love with this video editing software. The User Interface is awesome, and it doesn’t tax your computers processing power at all! Couple this with the M1/2 processors and you have almost everything you need to produce content. At this point, why waste money on Adobe if your content is simple enoguh to produce on something like this?
