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:

|

<ul className="text-lg space-y-2 mb-6 list-disc list-inside">
|
||||||
|
<li>A paywall every time you breathe</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Terms of service that steal your shit</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
More "Get Pro" dialogs than a Windows 95 error message
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>
|
||||||
|
Features that disappear behind paywalls while you're fucking
|

using them

<li>Bugs disguised as "premium features"</li>

<strong>Well guess what, motherfucker:</strong>

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

</h2>
|
||||||
|
<p className="text-lg mb-6">
|
||||||
|
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.
|

|
</p>
|

|
<p className="text-lg mb-6">
|
||||||
|
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.

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!"
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p className="text-lg mb-6">

<strong>
|

My MP3 was already fucking audio, you absolute morons.

|
</strong>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p className="text-lg mb-6">
|
||||||
|
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.

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."

<strong>CapCut's Terms of Service:</strong> We get full rights

to use, modify, distribute, and monetize everything you upload
|

responsible if anything goes wrong.

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.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p className="text-lg mb-6">
|
||||||
|
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.

before.

<p className="text-lg mb-6">
|

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.

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{" "}
|
||||||
|
<strong>ones they create themselves</strong>. 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.
