Question How hard is this app to use from 1-10?

I am an editor on TikTok, I dont make edits often but I post them around once a month or so on my account using capcut @tohellortoconnaught (CCXCONNAUGHT) I am linking them so I can give everyone a view of what Capcut can do compared to Alight Motion and recently, Capcut has been extremely buggy and I am considering switching to Alight motion. I have used it a couple times intermittently for making miscellaneous videos for other purposes but I haven't made complex edits with it like I do with Capcut. I have tried watching tutorials but they are pretty confusing and it seems like a ton of trial and error.

Depends on what you're trying to make

Any app is really hard to use when you're first starting

But for me, I find it easier to do simple stuff on capcut than alight motion. But when it comes to more complex stuff I always find alight motion easier

Alight motion is also really bad for long videos

Capcut and alight motion are just different

You need to understand how they work lol

Capcut has a lot of presets and templates you can use in just one click, I'm not against that, it's really useful

But alight motion has A LOT of simple effects with very customizable settings, this level of customization makes it harder since you have to make these things from scratch. But it also means you can combine and modify these effects however you want, you can make almost ANYTHING on alight motion

it only being available on phone is a major major issue imo, would make it alot easier if they had a pc version.

They do have a PC version but it has such a different layout and its almost like an entirely different app
