+ Fuck CapCut +
++ And it's fucking terrible. +
++ Seriously, what the fuck else do you want? +
++ You probably use CapCut and think your video editing is + special. You think your fucking TikTok with 47 transitions and + 12 different fonts is going to get you some viral fame. You + think loading up every goddamn effect in their library makes + your content better. Wrong, motherfucker. Let me describe what + CapCut actually gives you: +
+-
+
- A paywall every time you breathe +
- Terms of service that steal your shit +
- + More "Get Pro" dialogs than a Windows 95 error message + +
- + Features that disappear behind paywalls while you're fucking + using them + +
- Bugs disguised as "premium features" +
+ Well guess what, motherfucker: +
++ You. Are. Getting. Scammed. Look at this shit. It's a fucking + video editor. Why the fuck do you need to pay $20/month just + to remove a goddamn watermark? You spent hours editing your + video and they slap their logo on it like they fucking made + it. +
++ The "Get Pro" dialog is everywhere +
++ This motherfucking dialog pops up more than ads on a pirated + movie site. Want to add a transition? Get Pro. Want to export + without their watermark? Get Pro. Want to use more than 2 + fonts? Get fucking Pro, peasant. +
++ Did you seriously think you could edit a video without seeing + this dialog 47 times? You click one button and BAM - there it + is again, asking for your credit card like a desperate ex + asking for money. +
++ Everything costs money now +
++ You dumbass. You thought CapCut was free, but no. Free means + they let you open the app. Everything else costs money. Basic + shake effect? That'll be $20/month. A decent transition that isn't + "fade"? Pay up, motherfucker. +
++ Here's my favorite piece of bullshit: You import an MP3 file - + you know, AUDIO - and try to export. "Sorry, can't export + because you're using our premium extract audio feature!" +
++ + My MP3 was already fucking audio, you absolute morons. + +
++ But wait, there's more! If you drag that same MP3 to their + media panel first, then to the timeline, it magically works. + This isn't a bug, it's a fucking scam disguised as software + engineering. +
++ Their Terms of Service are insane +
++ Look at this shit. You upload your content and they basically + say "thanks for the free content, we own it now, but if Disney + sues anyone, that's your problem." +
++ CapCut's Terms of Service: We get full rights + to use, modify, distribute, and monetize everything you upload + - permanently and without paying you shit. But you're still + responsible if anything goes wrong. +
++ Translation: "We'll make money off your viral video, you + handle the lawsuits." Brilliant legal strategy, you fucks. +
++ The editor is actually good +
++ Here's the thing that makes me want to punch my monitor: the + actual video editor is fucking good. It's intuitive, powerful, + and anyone can figure it out. When it's not begging for money + every 30 seconds, it actually works well. +
++ Which makes everything else so much worse. They built + something people want to use, then turned it into a digital + slot machine. Every click might trigger a payment request. +
++ This is a video editor. Look at it. You've never seen one + before. +
++ Like the person who's never used software that doesn't + constantly beg for money, you have no fucking idea what a + video editor should be. All you've ever seen are predatory + apps disguised as creative tools. +
++ A real video editor lets you edit videos. It doesn't steal + your content. It doesn't pop up payment dialogs every 5 + seconds. It doesn't charge you separately for basic features + that should be free. +
++ Yes, this is why we're building our own +
++ We're not actually saying all video editors should be basic as + shit. What we're saying is that all the problems we have with + video editing apps are{" "} + ones they create themselves. Video editors + aren't broken by default - they edit videos, export them, and + let you use basic features. CapCut breaks them. They turn them + into payment processors with video editing as a side feature. +
+
+ "Good software gets out of your way."
