Happy Davinci Resolve Studio user here. ill try doing the edits, sound and color in resolve and finish in Capcut for the transitions, body fx and titles. quite interesting. great video sir.
The absence of a source monitor makes Premiere the clear winner for me. The examples you gave me are effects I won't need. I don't want a small preview for when I am selecting which exact frame I want to go in and out, which in Premiere, makes work easier for me. I can use capcut for small projects or I will edit first in Premiere and if I need those effects, then I'll export and do in CapCut.
LOL.. I don't see Adobe reaching out to give you a sponsorship.. LOL.. So happy I took your course.. It really helped me a ton. I look forward to your next one.. I hope it will be on Scripting for editing like Top RUclipsrs.

But the 1 thing that almost made me rip my hair out was the SPEED. CapCut makes me believe there is a God out there because he created CapCut and then realised it into the world for FREE OF CHARGE, while PP has the audacity to charge you 20 bucks for as long as you want to use it, while CapCut PRO is like half that price, but 20x better. PP is very weak without After Effects. Thank you Trevor for making this unbiased comparison, I actually learnt some new features in CapCut from this video
😂 lol this was funny haha. I've recently come back to video editing for my channel and I started up with Capcut. It's so easy and smooth. Makes editing really fun.
That is really interesting. As a professional editor for 24 years I'm really surprised. CapCut could even be great for a quick rough-cut or assembly on professional productions. The only thing I'd say still needed for that is XML, EDL, AAF, OMF or other cross-platform export options for mastering and grading, audio mixing etc. on the pro systems. Do you think there's a chance that's coming? Lumafusion which is also a mobile device-based editor does now support XML export, so it should be possible if there's the will to do it. Collaboration features could absolutely put CapCut at another level.
I appreciate how you make out time to read and reply comments. You're in touch with your viewers. 1 sub for you.

They are doing that with a lot of features - they get you hooked and hope you buy. At like $10/month US it's a great value I think. They can't just make it for free. Keeping up an app like that is costly, so I don't blame them for charging. The reality is even without the pro features, you can still do everything that matter with the free version. Editing is just putting one shot after another. And the free version does that very well and a million other thinks we couldn't even dream of in a free app just a few years ago. But there are a lot of apps. The app doesn't really matter. The one you like, are good at, and does the things you need it to do is the best one. What app do you plan on using instead?

Before I discovered your guides, I was comparing Vegas Pro, Camtasia and lastly Capcut. I have experience with both VP and Camtasia and a total noob with Capcut. One session with Capcut, I was sold with Capcut, that's how awesome it is. Now I subscribed to PRO for an annual plan. It's just awesome.
I've messed with Davinci. It's a pro app, and capcut is a beginner app. The comparison would be similar to Premiere, tho Davinci would have it's advantages.
You opted for Premiere Pro because your audio probably sounds decent 90% of the time. The filters and transitions you demonstrated in Capcut were cheesy. The Premiere Pro titling system can do some really could things that you are simply unaware of. Look at the metadata capabilities of Premiere Pro vs Capcut. Look at the customization of the GUI in Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro's custom GUI is much more important to me than cheesy transitions.
I can't lie. I'm that "I know the REAL program (Premiere) but watching this I'm really feeling like a fool now. I'm always watching other people's videos and thinking I'm getting way behind when it comes to effects and making the videos sexy. I naturally thought I need to dive heavily into After Effects (one option) but then I see Capcut and I'm floored. Add to that the exorbitant price of the Adobe Suite and the lack of real (and seamless) features Adobe offers and the choice seems ridiculously obvious. While I still want to maintain control over the creativity of the edit and not let AI completely take the wheel (that's cheating) Capcut seems to be the much better option and to be honest, my clients really don't care what it's done in. That just want it to be sexy as hell. And it will be. Thanks for sobering me up.
exactly..all these plugins and 1 hour tutorials just for a seamless transition in adobe killed my editing excitement.so i will switch to capcut as well.
Just out of curiosity, why not bring a clip into the timeline, and then trim it up? Just seems like extra work to trim the clip before the timeline, as you will very likely continue to trim and adjust on the timeline.
Capcut is way better for the average person. I think premiere is good if you’re really a professional. But making RUclips videos and social media content Capcut is better and cheaper
The issue with capcut is not being able to customize so much. In premiere, you have your whole keyframe window where you can effortlessly move the keyframes, add time interpolation for smoother animation, etc. Same with effects, not near as many animation options with pen drawn masks.
Premiere is clearly a more professional program with way more control. But CapCut has a much wider audience - easy to use and can do most things most people need. I'll always use a more pro program like premiere, and sounds like you're in the same boat.
In premiere by the way, the new version has an enhance audio button on essential sounds that will make your audio like you are speaking directly to mic and remove bg noise.
what are the control features in adobe that's actually better than CapCut...? because everything people have been doing on adobe, i've been seeing people do on CapCut now...
Awesome video man. I used capcut recently when my daughter wanted to start editing and was blown away with the ease of it. She also picked it up easily (as opposed to when she tried Premiere). - And so true about the premiere effects! ha!. Guess that's what happens when there's not much competition. One thing I loved about capcut was that the key frames are smoothed by default, saves so much time and tweaking. You might be interested to know that Premier now has the same Sound Enhance capabilities (although in beta). - I did a vid on it. It's as incredible as capcut's. It's so crazy how that level of clean up possible so easily! I think overall we'll see Premier start to catch up as capcut have raised the bar and shown how easily things can be done. Premiere have been caught snoozing.
I thought I mentioned the sound enhance in premiere in this video. I tried it and found it not as good. But ya, premiere is lacking in some stuff people are wanting for sure! Capcut is so much easier for sure.
I am using DaVinci Resolve, I find this to be great software. Capcut provided convenient effects, while Davinci helped me get movies with beautiful colors. Premiere is still good software, but its features are pretty average, not standing out from other software if it's not combined with Audition and After Effect
I recently built a desktop PC for basic video editing and use the free version of Capcut. I like that i can edit between my PC and my phone when I'm on the go.
Been trying to master Premiere Pro for years. Never really got any momentum but I knew it's what "real" video editors use. Tried CapCut for the first time and I've never enjoyed editing this much my whole life. It just let's you create!
I doubt it gives full access to your computer, but I'm sure they collect data, just like RUclips, Instagram and Facebook. I've chosen not to worry about it. I don't have any national secrets, and I share everything anyway!
I like Capcut but I wish it would load my Adobe Fonts so I don't have to import them as PNG overlays. I also would like to purchase the software once instead of paying the subscription fee. I do still use Premier to cut video then import it into Capcut.
Hi, great video. I hate Premiere pro. But have to ask, where can I download Capcut pro for pc. Can only see the free version, no tabs or anything to upgrade. I live in Norway, can that be the reason.
@@TrevorJonescreator It can easily be download with a VPN. I used proton VPN, switched to Netherlands and downloaded it easily. You have to connect to VPN again once you are editing in it as the effects and transitions don't load for me if I am not connected to it.
CapCut is probably easier to use with some really cool effects and Filmora is a little closer to Adobe Premiere in terms of functionality. I think you have a little more control in Filmora than CapCut, but I haven’t messed with Filmora in a long time. I consider CapCut a more basic program than Filmora.
The one thing that I hope capcut implements, would be better color grading tools, capcut is so much more intuitive then premiere or resolve, but I can't give up the astonishing color grading tools in resolve for bare bones tools in capcut😢
Actually... in CapCut you do have multiple audio tracks and to see the waveforms from a video file just right click and hit "extract audio"! CapCut keeps getting better and better!
I tried capcut for their remove background feature which is not so good for doing with 3 front subjects so didn't go any further and drop it ... Been using shotcut for several years and it does the job for me, Premiere is too fat
Great channel .. ! I just downloaded CapCut and can't figure out how to view the Info of my clips.. P Pro it's super easy to view the clips frame rate and the resolution... Sometimes I shoot a bunch of mixed footage with different frame rates and it's nice to know at a click what the frame rate is...
You would think that all the money you have to spend on adobe subscription that the things capcut has would be available. Someone is not paying attention. The fact it can roto tool and track with just dropping into the timeline is great
i'm still an amateur in using both. capcut is definitely much easier to use. but the only reason why people still uses premiere pro is because it's (in my country) still the standard video editor for the tv and movie industries. so, it's a must for us here to know how to use premiere pro (i tried da vinci but i easily got confused).
By this set of logic iMovie is the one editing program to rule them all 😅 For basic editing CapCut it fine… but you’ll hit your head on the ceiling quickly if you want to keep improving your visual effects and audio mixing. Premiere sucks in its own ways (that’s why I switched to DaVinci after a decade on premiere) … but it’s wayyyy ahead of CapCut in many ways especially when considering the sheer quantity of third party assets that’s can be plugged into it.
I mean.... hard no to iMovie. I've ALWAYS hated iMovie! But the rest is kinda valid. My point is that CapCut is the best app for MOST people that don't wanna be editors when they grow up. You can learn it 100x faster than Premiere and it's easier. But dude, I'm an editor. CapCut will never be my go to. Premiere guy for now, but I know Resolve is pretty epic these days.
If you want to drag and drop things in a second, Capcut is the winner, if you want to be an actual professional video editor, Premiere Pro is the winner.
Yup someone is sane enough here not a&& licking this CapCut it’s good for beginner even I use it but if I had a device which can run premier pro smoothly I’ll shift at once I guess most of his audience are under age kids who just need flashy edits which is quite easy to create in CapCut
Yep. CapCut is amazing for beginners and social media, and is all 99% of the planet needs. If editing is your jam, you're gonna want Premiere, Davinci, or FCP X. And if you're doing feature films in Hollywood, you'd better know Avid.
Actually, I just looked so I could answer you: Only 4.7% of my viewers for the last month are under 18. CapCut is great for beginners of any age. Possibly even better for older people who aren't as tech savy as kids are these days. But if editing is your thing, you'll outgrow CapCut pretty fast. But then you'll jump back into it to create some killer effect now and then, that Premiere can't touch. Like I said at the end of the video: I'm sticking with Premiere, since I'm an editor in my soul. CapCut is a great training ground - so premiere will be a piece of cake for you once you get it.
CapCut is great, but it can’t touch after effects. If you’ve already learned after effects, you’ll never go back! Most people just don’t have the ability to put that much time in to learn a professional app like that.
I tried CapCut then it doesn't have drop in transition like Crossfade? You have to manually overlap and adjust volume of each clip? I searched and even paid version don't seem to have that. That makes it useless. Even Davinci Resolve have it.
I’m torn. I’m not a pro but have been editing for 6 years. I’m very comfortable in premiere despite not using its full capabilities. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few editors hoping to find something comparable with premiere for cheaper. I’m impressed with cap cut especially with the amount of transitions, effects etc that can be done with ease. The one thing that may be a dealbreaker though is the timeline not moving with playback as I’m an audio editor if you know what I mean. I think really using both is most ideal. Premiere for initial cut and cc for bells and whistles. I will say though I have some footage with a rustle on the mic that’s unusable in premiere. My heart sank thinking I have to refilm but one button in cc and the rustle is inaudible!
you can play around with face and Body effects. There also LUTs that you can upload and use. You can also use Hue saturations to Play with. All depends on what you want. I'll suggest Play more..
There's color grading and color correction. Some basics for sure could be taught in a video. Getting good at it? Takes a minute. I have a LOT to learn still.
Download clips and have at it. Tutorials won't help much beyond what the different tools do. Every eye is different. It's a pseudo science...like physics
I agree with most of those, however, when you went to CapCuts' text it honestly reminded me of MS Word 1990. Sure, it at least has formatted options, but none I would use. Now animating that text is another thing. MOGRTS are nice but I agree they're not efficient at all.
Hey Trevor, enjoyed your video! I'm interested in upgrading to the Pro version of Capcut for Mac. I've been using the free version, but I can't seem to locate the Pro version anywhere. I've been a Final Cut Pro user for over a decade, and I must say, I find Capcut to be a much better alternative. Any guidance on how to access the Pro version would be appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you for this video, Trevor. As a newbie, Premiere Pro is a negative for a couple of reasons - one, ease of use but also the pricing. I've never been crazy for the subscription model. Yes, CapCut does have a sub model, but the pricing is a bit more reasonable for me.
Capcut works out for me just on the price of the Pro version alone. Very easy to use, as I'm getting into video editing. I can see myself jumping to something else as my skills improve (probably DaVinci Resolve), but for now, Capcut is where its at for me!
great to see this I stumbled upon it by accident - not heard of capcut but despite using premiere and after effects for years, the fiddly keyframes and different approaches in premiere and after effects is at odds with a smooth workflow - just trying capcut as already it looks more like the combined tool that could be a great fit for my mixed work on web and social projects
Never said it would replace PP or DR or FCP. It's the right program for most people, but not me. Tho I do sometimes jump in for some of the features that ARE better than PP.
How do you purchase capcut pro for PC in the US. I get this message "The current region doesn' t support purchases on CapCut PC. Please purchase on the mobile app" Should I use a VPN service. Or do I sign up for the mobile app. Then can I just sign in on my PC and use pro,
Weird that it says that in the US! if you wipe CapCut out off your desktop completely, and use a VPN to another country that does support the pro version using a brand new email, it may work. But I don’t know what countries support the pro version right now if the US doesn’t! Using a VPN is very hit and miss.

While I still want to maintain control over the creativity of the edit and not let AI completely take the wheel (that's cheating) Capcut seems to be the much better option and to be honest, my clients really don't care what it's done in. That just want it to be sexy as hell. And it will be. Thanks for sobering me up.
exactly..all these plugins and 1 hour tutorials just for a seamless transition in adobe killed my editing excitement.so i will switch to capcut as well.
Just out of curiosity, why not bring a clip into the timeline, and then trim it up? Just seems like extra work to trim the clip before the timeline, as you will very likely continue to trim and adjust on the timeline.
That's what I almost always do, even in Premiere. It's usually MUCH more efficient!
Bro. As a veteran sim
Racer you’ve just made my decision soooooo much easier. Ty so very much for this video. 10/10
After the audio example I am SOLD! Thank you!
My pleasure!
Great video. But how do you share, export, or even save the edited video? CapCut wants me to join Pro with no option to share or export if I don't.
They want you to join so they can view your videos and content, even before you upload.
I love Capcut's caption, the accuracy is like 90% compared to RUclips's caption is like 80% accuracy.
Adobe premier pro is like an old dinosaur. If they are not carefull they will be extict.
I think they’re working on it.
I think capcut needs 3D layers and 3D Camera like Davinchi Resolve
That... would be amazing.
Capcut is way better for the average person. I think premiere is good if you’re really a professional. But making RUclips videos and social media content Capcut is better and cheaper
Yep!
“Maybe they want you to buy after effects” this blew my mind
Ich schneide seit vielen Jahren mit Premieren und dachte Capcut ist einfach eine kleine Basis Version für einfache Tiktok Cuts 😅
war es mal. Vorallem auf dem Handy. Die PC Version ist wirklich professionell!
The issue with capcut is not being able to customize so much. In premiere, you have your whole keyframe window where you can effortlessly move the keyframes, add time interpolation for smoother animation, etc. Same with effects, not near as many animation options with pen drawn masks.
Also, your problem with loading stuff and crashing is 90% your pc. I never have issues
Premiere is clearly a more professional program with way more control. But CapCut has a much wider audience - easy to use and can do most things most people need. I'll always use a more pro program like premiere, and sounds like you're in the same boat.
His acting for the transitions on adobe made me laugh
In premiere by the way, the new version has an enhance audio button on essential sounds that will make your audio like you are speaking directly to mic and remove bg noise.
what are the control features in adobe that's actually better than CapCut...? because everything people have been doing on adobe, i've been seeing people do on CapCut now...
Awesome video man. I used capcut recently when my daughter wanted to start editing and was blown away with the ease of it. She also picked it up easily (as opposed to when she tried Premiere). - And so true about the premiere effects! ha!. Guess that's what happens when there's not much competition. One thing I loved about capcut was that the key frames are smoothed by default, saves so much time and tweaking. You might be interested to know that Premier now has the same Sound Enhance capabilities (although in beta). - I did a vid on it. It's as incredible as capcut's. It's so crazy how that level of clean up possible so easily! I think overall we'll see Premier start to catch up as capcut have raised the bar and shown how easily things can be done. Premiere have been caught snoozing.
I thought I mentioned the sound enhance in premiere in this video. I tried it and found it not as good. But ya, premiere is lacking in some stuff people are wanting for sure! Capcut is so much easier for sure.
Ah my apologies, I may have missed it. Capcut is changing the game it seems.

I am using DaVinci Resolve, I find this to be great software. Capcut provided convenient effects, while Davinci helped me get movies with beautiful colors. Premiere is still good software, but its features are pretty average, not standing out from other software if it's not combined with Audition and After Effect
Yep! Davinci is fantastic.
I love how honest he is
Great audio. Could you share what mic you’re using?
Sennheiser 416
I recently built a desktop PC for basic video editing and use the free version of Capcut. I like that i can edit between my PC and my phone when I'm on the go.
Awesome!
Been trying to master Premiere Pro for years. Never really got any momentum but I knew it's what "real" video editors use. Tried CapCut for the first time and I've never enjoyed editing this much my whole life. It just let's you create!
Thank You Sir for being loyal and helpful for us in this content creation journey!
Looking forward to watch videos like this ❤
yeah but capcut isnt near what premiere pro actually can do compared to capcut. capcut is mostly presets whilst premiere pro uses your full creativity
What about CapCut/ByteDances privacy issues. I hear installing it gives the company pretty much full access to your computer.
I doubt it gives full access to your computer, but I'm sure they collect data, just like RUclips, Instagram and Facebook. I've chosen not to worry about it. I don't have any national secrets, and I share everything anyway!
Great video! effects, transitions and text have always done my head in Premier Pro
Premiere is AWFUL with all of those. And I'm a Premiere guy.
I like Capcut but I wish it would load my Adobe Fonts so I don't have to import them as PNG overlays. I also would like to purchase the software once instead of paying the subscription fee. I do still use Premier to cut video then import it into Capcut.
Hi, great video. I hate Premiere pro. But have to ask, where can I download Capcut pro for pc. Can only see the free version, no tabs or anything to upgrade. I live in Norway, can that be the reason.
It may not be available in Norway yet would be my guess. You can try a VPN, but that's very hit and miss. Good luck!
@@TrevorJonescreator It can easily be download with a VPN. I used proton VPN, switched to Netherlands and downloaded it easily. You have to connect to VPN again once you are editing in it as the effects and transitions don't load for me if I am not connected to it.
Great vid. Was kinda forced to use Premier years ago (after Filmora) but dread going back to Premier. Whats ur take on Filmora vs Capcut?
CapCut is probably easier to use with some really cool effects and Filmora is a little closer to Adobe Premiere in terms of functionality. I think you have a little more control in Filmora than CapCut, but I haven’t messed with Filmora in a long time. I consider CapCut a more basic program than Filmora.
I'd love to hear a comparison for color grading.
@@burrdaddy Premiere has more control with Lumetri, but the pro version of CapCut is not bad at all!
The one thing that I hope capcut implements, would be better color grading tools, capcut is so much more intuitive then premiere or resolve, but I can't give up the astonishing color grading tools in resolve for bare bones tools in capcut😢
Waooo you did a job thanks alot. Please how can i get Pro version of Capcut desktop. Please i need it. Thanks
Its only available in some countries so far.
@@TrevorJonescreator Oh okay thank you so much
in premiere you have multiple audio tracks and in capcut impossible to see soundwawes of each track , but now lets use best of both wordls:)
Actually... in CapCut you do have multiple audio tracks and to see the waveforms from a video file just right click and hit "extract audio"! CapCut keeps getting better and better!
I tried capcut for their remove background feature which is not so good for doing with 3 front subjects so didn't go any further and drop it ... Been using shotcut for several years and it does the job for me, Premiere is too fat
Glad you found something that works for you!
CapCut has become my go to. It’s great that you get usable transitions and so many other features (that work great) for a super reasonable cost.
Great channel .. ! I just downloaded CapCut and can't figure out how to view the Info of my clips.. P Pro it's super easy to view the clips frame rate and the resolution... Sometimes I shoot a bunch of mixed footage with different frame rates and it's nice to know at a click what the frame rate is...
If I need quick edits I always run to CapCut and results are still insane
Right? It’s dang good!
I'm definitely gonna have to try out capcut soon
You would think that all the money you have to spend on adobe subscription that the things capcut has would be available. Someone is not paying attention. The fact it can roto tool and track with just dropping into the timeline is great
i'm still an amateur in using both. capcut is definitely much easier to use. but the only reason why people still uses premiere pro is because it's (in my country) still the standard video editor for the tv and movie industries. so, it's a must for us here to know how to use premiere pro (i tried da vinci but i easily got confused).
WOOOWWW! That audio cleanup in Capcut is 🔥💪!
In case you forgot Trevor, you are AMAZING. And, your content is as well. Thx for all the help you good sir.
Awww thanks man!
By this set of logic iMovie is the one editing program to rule them all 😅
For basic editing CapCut it fine… but you’ll hit your head on the ceiling quickly if you want to keep improving your visual effects and audio mixing. Premiere sucks in its own ways (that’s why I switched to DaVinci after a decade on premiere) … but it’s wayyyy ahead of CapCut in many ways especially when considering the sheer quantity of third party assets that’s can be plugged into it.
I mean.... hard no to iMovie. I've ALWAYS hated iMovie! But the rest is kinda valid. My point is that CapCut is the best app for MOST people that don't wanna be editors when they grow up. You can learn it 100x faster than Premiere and it's easier. But dude, I'm an editor. CapCut will never be my go to. Premiere guy for now, but I know Resolve is pretty epic these days.
is capcut completely free for pc?
My jaw literally dropped as well when I heard Capcut's audio isolation😂😂😂
Right!?!!
If you want to drag and drop things in a second, Capcut is the winner, if you want to be an actual professional video editor, Premiere Pro is the winner.
Yup someone is sane enough here not a&& licking this CapCut it’s good for beginner even I use it but if I had a device which can run premier pro smoothly I’ll shift at once
I guess most of his audience are under age kids who just need flashy edits which is quite easy to create in CapCut
Yep. CapCut is amazing for beginners and social media, and is all 99% of the planet needs. If editing is your jam, you're gonna want Premiere, Davinci, or FCP X. And if you're doing feature films in Hollywood, you'd better know Avid.
Actually, I just looked so I could answer you: Only 4.7% of my viewers for the last month are under 18. CapCut is great for beginners of any age. Possibly even better for older people who aren't as tech savy as kids are these days. But if editing is your thing, you'll outgrow CapCut pretty fast. But then you'll jump back into it to create some killer effect now and then, that Premiere can't touch. Like I said at the end of the video: I'm sticking with Premiere, since I'm an editor in my soul. CapCut is a great training ground - so premiere will be a piece of cake for you once you get it.
Looks great, but with my new found skills in After Effects, and photoshop, I will stick with Adobe Creative Cloue
CapCut is great, but it can’t touch after effects. If you’ve already learned after effects, you’ll never go back! Most people just don’t have the ability to put that much time in to learn a professional app like that.
I tried CapCut then it doesn't have drop in transition like Crossfade? You have to manually overlap and adjust volume of each clip? I searched and even paid version don't seem to have that. That makes it useless. Even Davinci Resolve have it.
its called "Mix"
I’m torn. I’m not a pro but have been editing for 6 years. I’m very comfortable in premiere despite not using its full capabilities. Over the years I’ve tried quite a few editors hoping to find something comparable with premiere for cheaper. I’m impressed with cap cut especially with the amount of transitions, effects etc that can be done with ease. The one thing that may be a dealbreaker though is the timeline not moving with playback as I’m an audio editor if you know what I mean. I think really using both is most ideal. Premiere for initial cut and cc for bells and whistles.
I will say though I have some footage with a rustle on the mic that’s unusable in premiere. My heart sank thinking I have to refilm but one button in cc and the rustle is inaudible!
Crazy right?
Just waiting for multi-cam editing.
Could u plz do a tutorial on color grading, especially, skin tones on CapCut PC?
you can play around with face and Body effects. There also LUTs that you can upload and use. You can also use Hue saturations to Play with. All depends on what you want. I'll suggest Play more..
There's color grading and color correction. Some basics for sure could be taught in a video. Getting good at it? Takes a minute. I have a LOT to learn still.
Download clips and have at it. Tutorials won't help much beyond what the different tools do. Every eye is different. It's a pseudo science...like physics
I agree with most of those, however, when you went to CapCuts' text it honestly reminded me of MS Word 1990. Sure, it at least has formatted options, but none I would use. Now animating that text is another thing. MOGRTS are nice but I agree they're not efficient at all.
Nice job man
Hey Trevor, enjoyed your video! I'm interested in upgrading to the Pro version of Capcut for Mac. I've been using the free version, but I can't seem to locate the Pro version anywhere. I've been a Final Cut Pro user for over a decade, and I must say, I find Capcut to be a much better alternative. Any guidance on how to access the Pro version would be appreciated. Thanks!
It's not available in all countries, unfortunately. Some have had luck with a VPN to USA, but it's hit and miss. I don't think it always works.
Thank you.
Thank you for this video, Trevor. As a newbie, Premiere Pro is a negative for a couple of reasons - one, ease of use but also the pricing. I've never been crazy for the subscription model. Yes, CapCut does have a sub model, but the pricing is a bit more reasonable for me.
Crazy part about capcut is its constantly improving and adding new features almost every week!
Capcut works out for me just on the price of the Pro version alone. Very easy to use, as I'm getting into video editing. I can see myself jumping to something else as my skills improve (probably DaVinci Resolve), but for now, Capcut is where its at for me!
Awesome!
I think a combination of these two softwares can make a pretty good workflow.
great to see this I stumbled upon it by accident - not heard of capcut but despite using premiere and after effects for years, the fiddly keyframes and different approaches in premiere and after effects is at odds with a smooth workflow - just trying capcut as already it looks more like the combined tool that could be a great fit for my mixed work on web and social projects
What about the colour correction & colour grading?
Thanks for posting. Good overview!
Capcut is a toy. It has some cool things and was surprised what it was capable of... but it's far from a professional grade tool.
Never said it would replace PP or DR or FCP. It's the right program for most people, but not me. Tho I do sometimes jump in for some of the features that ARE better than PP.
Awesome info here. Thank you. Would CapCut be a good editing program for tutorial videos with a talking head?
I agree... Capcut is better option for noobs. As a professional editor I find Capcut to basic and limited.
Yep.
How do you purchase capcut pro for PC in the US. I get this message "The current region doesn' t support purchases on CapCut PC. Please purchase on the mobile app" Should I use a VPN service. Or do I sign up for the mobile app. Then can I just sign in on my PC and use pro,
Weird that it says that in the US! if you wipe CapCut out off your desktop completely, and use a VPN to another country that does support the pro version using a brand new email, it may work. But I don’t know what countries support the pro version right now if the US doesn’t! Using a VPN is very hit and miss.
So i see there is a desktop and online version? Which is best?
DESKTOP! Online is good if your computer is underpowerd.
@@TrevorJonescreator Cool, thanks. Didn't know if online was getting featured desktop didn't have.
You actually just gave me a great tutorial for Capcut about stuff I didnt knew, thank you :)
