Nice video Justin! Another big plus for Resolve is you’ll never need to learn a “more professional’ editor when your videos get more sophisticated. Yet the very basics to get your videos from raw footage to finished product are not hard to learn. HUGE bonus is the large amount of RUclips content out there to answer any “how to” question.
Hey, Justin. First time viewer and already you've saved me SOOOO MUCH HASSLE with trying to whip together some quick music videos for youtube. On behalf of my whole band, Hyperbolic, thank you so much.
You're welcome, great to have you here 😀 - Hazel, PV Team
Great stuff as usual. You have a way making us love video editing.
I was thinking you would mention Kdenlive in one of the free video editing softwares. I would love you to do a review on it.
Thank you.
I think this guy does a really good job explain things. I watched a few other videos like this and didn't even know what they were talking about.
So awesome to hear that, thanks 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
Does this mean that these editors are the only free ones left of the big players from the past?
Useful video! Capcut is very easy to use. I edited a video yesterday with music, subtitles and visual effects. I love it!
Thanks, well done Andres 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
what about VSDC? I think its a pretty good medium between capcut or Davinci Resolve
Enjoyed your review. One question, I have started using a 360 video cam. What software would you recommend for editing or putting multiple clips together. Thanks!!!!
Great video, thank for posting this. What's best of these for a bar band with a Zoom Q8n-4K who wants to add clips to their website and Facebook pages? Make little "commercials" for their gigs?
Great review! I hit the like button for the algorithm. Keep up the good info and knowledge.
Sounds great, thanks 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
you know what, actually a good video with what i needed to know in it. much appreciated bro ✊
Awesome, we're glad you enjoyed the video 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
Soooo helpful, thanks mate!
You're welcome, glad we're able to help - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you Justin. Love it :)
No problem, glad you liked it 😊 - Hazel, PV Team
There's a problem with the button link for the Windows version. The says that the destination is no longer valid, then another webpage opens and offers a redirected URL. The redirected URL displays a webpage that says VN Video Editor for Windows is not available but you can run the Android version of VN Video Editor if you also install an Android emulator on your Windows PC. I decided not to pursue that path.
Upon further web searching, I found a link to a Windows version, but the website is kind of sketchy. I couldn't tell the website it was legitimate as it did not really identify anything about the company, costs (free or otherwise), and so on. Somewhere I saw a reference to subscription, but there was no mention of costs.
Do you have an updated link to download the Windows version?
Great Video. Thank you!
Awesome, you're welcome - Hazel, PV Team
Good review and Thanks very much - I really needed this - Cheers :)
No problem, see you in the next one - Hazel, PV Team
Hi love your videos but can you recommend a free software to edited my kids sport video to create a demo before venturing into a costly one? Thanks
Have a question about importing video from my Dish hard drive to a Win 10 PC. What options are available and compatible with Capcut?
What data collecting is Byte Dance is collecting with CapCut?
hello boss I like the transition of word in your video which video editing you using?
first time to this channel. thank you for this info. very insightful and informative.
Great to have you here 😀 - Hazel, PV Team
Does CapCut have layers and masking? Thanks for the video!
😇 Thanks to you, Justin - I've been using DaVinci Resolve right out of the gate. I've had to teach myself a lot without any previous experience and I'm still learning new features, but this is the best video editing software! I wouldn't change a thing! ~Angel Logan 💜 😎
So awesome to hear it, Angel - Hazel, PV Team
um... if it's the only one you've used... how do you know it's the best?
@@f.d.3289 😇 It meets all of my editing needs fabulously, which makes it the best in my book. Plus, I trust Justin. 💜✨💜
I can't figure it out, the tutorials I viewed suck so far😢😢😢😢😢
@@imboredDB 😇What are you struggling with in particular?💜✨💜
I used Lightworks before, but there's just one problem I have with the free version: it exports videos only up to 720p, and I'd really like to have the option for 1080p, too. Other than that, I thought it's a great tool.
I imagine DaVinci Resolve supports 1080p, so I might try that. Thanks for the review!
Coo, hope that works out well for you - Hazel, PV Team
Thanks for the video! Just a note on VN Video Editor: it's from Filmora, which is owned by Wondershare, which is a Chinese company. So for those people concerned about Capcut/TikTok/Bytedance and what they do with all of the data they scrape, then most likely the same would be true for VN/Filmora/Wondershare.
Appreciate your input! It's always good to be aware of the origins and privacy aspects of these tools. - Hazel, PV Team
Hi Justin, should I uninstall Clipchamp before installing a more advanced software like DaVinci , CaCut, or Filmora? Thanks! Your videos are very helpful.
They have no mutual connection you can run them both if you like. Capcut for quick fast edits and dvr for when you need advanced editing.
Thanks for your helpful reply!@@Sameer.Trivedi
Awesome tutorial!!
If I am editing a video on my phone in capcut, can I log into the PC version and pick up where I left off? And vise versa?
Id you use the same account, you should be able to pick up wherever you left off.
Thanks!
Thanks for the superthanks! 😃 - Hazel, PV Team
can we separate all audio tracks from our videos if we've recorded them on multiple tracks in capcut?
Can you do multi screen sync via Jared Halley or other multi instrumental performers shooting one instrment at a time ?
Love your work
Thanks, Daniel - Hazel, PV Team
Thank you!
You're welcome, Stephanie - Hazel, PV Team
Thats awesome i wanna try that. Thank you for sharing ❤
Great, no problem - Hazel, PV Team
@@PrimalVideo thank you 😊
Thanks man, I've been trying to make i videos better and with this video i think i might be able to.
Nice, all the best 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
Thanks for the video
You're welcome - Hazel, PV Team
Have you ever tried them together for the same project? meaning using CapCut mostly but DaVinci for the more complicated stuff?
Is it close to other version Sony Vega alike we ever get for free?
Do you have a video on how to link ones RUclips channel to Facebook etc because none of the ways shown are available anymore such as 1) hovering over your banner, 2) placing links on your about page, and 3) placing links under basic info page. After uploading a video I’m often prompted to link it to social media but when I try I get an error message
Thanks, will be going with DaVinci Resolve.
No problem, good luck with your edits 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
Well done!
Thanks - Hazel, PV Team
Thanks Idol Justin watching from Philippines!
You're welcome, great to have you here - Hazel, PV Team
@@PrimalVideo ALL YOUR VIDEOS HAD REALLY WATCHED THANKS A LOT IDOL JUSTIN.
Nice app,but sometimes it hurts bcz it needs network !an other thing that i hate,is that we miss some qualities after uploading videos edited with capcut !for example 240p,480p ...!are missing everytime when i posted a video on youtube !
I have a question does capcut only imports short videos? Pls answer
@primalvideo which is the most that you use? Capcut, Davinchi or OBS?
Out of those 3.. probably CapCut 👍
Justin.
@@PrimalVideo I want to live green screen for teaching, which software would you recommend me? Thank in advance.
Thanks Justin, always great information. Bugger though, as I just purchased Wondershare Filmora 12, as a suggestion of a friend, as an easy beginners software. I missed that it might have had a free version ah dah But also noticed I am paying $34 a month for Effects & Plug-ins as well as the $130 purchase. Is that normal practice for these types of video editing software packages? I also checked out the DaVinci Resolve, but they wanted $10 a month to start a project? Love your thoughts on this.
It’s not normal, but some do have extra subscription options. Filmora is still a great editing tool, if it’s working for you and does what you need then not a bad choice to stick with it
i have a windows tablet and i did get shotcut but although it works on my tablet it won't allow me to upload these videos to youtube, claiming something with the file is wrong?? i'm really not sure what to get at this point as i used to use movie maker, just for simple things like putting clips together and splicing them sometimes, nothing else really. do you have ANY suggestions? i can't seem to figure it out, the reason i don't have movie maker anymore is because it "updated" so now it is no longer a part of my tablet...
I love Davinci, it’s been so useful, and very easy for me to figure out what I want to do
Cool, all the best with your edits 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
Recently updated davinci resolve to 18.5 beta, and now when i try to play back footage while editing the video is lagging and audio is staticy, despite the unedited footage sounding and playing fine in windows media player. 😢
I have spent so much time trying to figure out Free DaVinci 18 but I just can't! Please recommend a resolution if possible 😢😢😢😢, thanks.
I use VSDC and never looked back. Gone to pro version but the free version is still pretty good. PC only though, not Mac.
Cool, all the best with your edits 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
thanks man
You're welcome, Federico - Hazel, PV Team
How about Openshot? You used to put it as one of best free video editing software available.
Nice video Sir..
Thanks - Hazel, PV Team
Awesome
Thanks - Hazel, PV Team
I love DaVinci but I wish it had the effects like capcut and if I does I have no idea how to get them
The VN editor does not have transcription or captions feature in the free version or at least I couldn’t find it. It has a track for subtitles but when tapped, it gives 3 options none of which do transcription. Strange!
How about an update for editing software for Chromebooks?
Might be nice to mention that capcut requires you to login to use it, and hoovers up user data worse than Google or Facebook do. As bad as Tiktok for this, and there's no way to use it without logging in. That's a deal killer for anyone concerned with internet privacy, not just people who 'don't like TikTok'.
Thank you for the info!
Good point. Thanks
So they're treating capcut like they're treating Huawei? If you can't beat them, ban them?
With all due respect to the creator of this video, I agree, this is not just a little thing and should have been explained if recommending. I wasted a lot of time doing multiple installs and uninstalls. You need to at least edit your video and add a caption. Agreed it is a deal killer for sound reasons.
Hey Justin, Is Capcut down cause its website isn't loading up!!
Vn video editor can used in PC with blue stack??
Please answer
But you can take a closer look at Movavi Video Editor.
Thanks for the video! I've since been working on some stuff with capcut. Im finding every 1080p 60fps clip I upload to the program, the video quality drastically reduces. We're talking from 60fps, down to about 10fps. I don't know how to work around this unfortunately and any help would be appreciated.
Nevermind! I figured it out. For anybody else wondering---- For instance, I downloaded a twitch clip, uploaded it into capcut, dragged it into the timeline as normal. If you click above the clip in the timeline (or anywhere in the timeline that isnt the clip) you get the details page that pops up on the right. It shows "Name, saved location, ratio," etc.. on the bottom right of that window youll see MODIFY. Click that, and simply change the frame rate from 30fps to 60fps. I believe this applies it to the entire project--- and to anything you drag into the timeline later. This is a FREE feature.
Movavi Video Editor will not eat up the quality of your videos.
What is the best laptop for photo/video editing ? in 2023 (I don’t do gaming just videos/photos editing)
informative video
Thanks, John - Hazel, PV Team
How can you create my own link video for this capcut?
nice presentation
Thank you - Hazel, PV Tea
How can I download capcut on my window 7 PC... what website do you recommend for me?
Here's the link to download Capcut primalvideo.com/go/capcut - Hazel, PV Team
Im not good in editing but this helps lot. Thanks
So glad it helped. You're welcome - Hazel, PV Team
can i download this on my late 2015 macbook air?!?!???
Stop talking about free software if it is not really free. Those apps are just limited versions of a commercial software... that's a big difference.
For the average joe, you wouldn't really need the paid stuff. Be creative with what you have
Does davinci suffer from lagging like capcut?
Great reviews! I’m really impressed with CapCut’s power and simplicity. Especially when compared to iMovie on Mac.
Especially love the ease of caption generation 👌
Sounds great - Hazel, PV Team
Looking forward to watching this video, because, straight up, IM BROKE
Capcut it is for me. Thank you.
Nice, good luck with your edits 👍 - Hazel, PV Team
@@PrimalVideo
Thank you
Da Vinci resolve is way too complex and hard to use, unless you're a semi pro that wants to spend hours on the learning curve. Furthermmore, there is a huge issue with Da vinci resolve that really few reviewers mention : it does not support Sony's camera video files format (.mts and .mt2s) ! Other free or quasi free editors support this format (such as Adobe premiere elements)
I just thought only happened to me, Thanks Bro!
resolve messes the video color when i import videos to it for no reason
Capcut works flawlessly with gopro 5.3k files, davinci runs very very poorly even after tuning the settings. Capcut doesn't have any audio tools though...
But you can take a closer look at Movavi Video Editor.
Greetings from indonesia
Hey 👋 - Hazel, PV Team
Do they have watermarks.
The free version DaVinci limits you with regard to video formats, for me thats the main issue, I have to buy it to use my Sony camera files. Or take the extra step of a conversion, which is annoying and time consuming.
It’s asking me for a activation code and you said its for free how can i get it without paying??
After you video I was trying to used both but there is no free editing software
why is it that i cant export videos on capcut with the free edition
Coolio
currently using shotcut
why is the capcut website is showing "NOT FOUND"??
what happened to it?
Have you tried another browser? - Hazel, PV Team
I use CapCut for everything
Sir in VN editor kills quality
i like and i use Capcut, but as an amatuer i notice a minor issue.
You cannot strech an image when you place it at a video, for example as we can see at 1:23 of your video with the SUBSCRIBE image.
The dimensions of an image change together, and they don't give you the freedom to change just the height or just the width.
Davinci Resolve. Period. 😉
i hate it
@@RealSnide why
my 13900k 32 gb dd5 and 4090 aren't even being used and divinci play back still stutters so bad that editing long videos is a nightmare.
@@xmateinc Which version do you use? There are a lot of complaints about update 18.6, there's a 18.6.2 now. Running AMD Ryzen 9 5950, 80GB ram, 8 GB video, DaVinci Resolve STUDIO runs smoothly here [version 18.5.1, gonna update to 18.6.2 now].
@@chriss2595 was running 18.6 switched to Sony Vegas trial and for a noob like me, Vegas is much easier to use, and I was editing with a 3k resolution preview with no stuttering. I’d be more willing to pay for davinci is they where more honest about the power of their free version. You need to paid version to get gpu acceleration. I’m gonna end up paying for Vegas, the trimming feature in Vegas is very easy to use. Even for a beginner like me.
after some use davinci resolve ist not for free - only in the beginning
davinci resolve is an incredible software but you need An incredibly good PC to run it
If Capcut doesn't have watermarks than why do I always see it at the end of the video's made by it?
It’s a title you can remove but a lot of people seem to forget and leave it on
the link not working sir :(

I hate Davinci so much, because doesnot support alot formats. I have to encode it every time and time is money... Davinci is over all good, but when I have more than 10 project and I have to encode em all... Comon....
Transcript please.
No! This an ONLINE program, and my rural internet connection is so damned SLOW that I would never be able to get anything done! Thanks anyhow.
how did you get such nice biceps?
Davince asks for my whole house location i'm not doing it
That a survey for paid users (I believe), scroll to the bottom of that window and you'll see "download only"
Capcut is blocked in India...😭😭
