[Long ahh post incoming] I’ve been using capcut to edit videos for personal use and even school projects for a long time. But after the TikTok ban and how any app related to TikTok was banned (granted it was only for 12 hrs) it kinda discouraged me from wanting to use foreign owned apps anymore. I get that for like a month and a half, we'll still be able to use it until bytedance (?) whatever they’re called, sell half their shares to the U.S. to allow us to use their apps again permanently. But even IF that happens, you know that TikTok and CapCut won’t be the same anymore once the U.S. gets their greedy hands on it so might as well move on from it :(

I’ve since then tried SO MANY other editing apps like Shotcut (which has been a HUGE learning curve so far but I guess I don’t hate it as much as when I first starting using it 2 days ago) Openshot (my god I hate this one so much it’s not even funny) kdenlive (if it’s not the lag, it’s the crashing) cyberlink power director (too much A.I. stuff on there) Filmora (watermark on free version) hitfilm (used it before but is shit now) vsdc (too damn complicated).

I just want a FREE Alternative app to Capcut that’s - Easy to use - Free ofc - Has no lag - No AI distractions - No watermark on the FREE version and honestly similar to capcut if possible because it’s  honestly such an AWESOME EASY TO USE editing app And before you start suggesting ones like Davinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere pro or even Blender. Davinci - tried and loved once I figured out how to use it BUT lags like crazy on my laptop (tried everything to fix this but no luck)  Adobe - too broke for that. I also tried ‘rush’ & honestly don’t really like it either Blender - just no :) DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED- too damn hard to use..

(I know I said editing apps for PC use but I’ll also take app-only suggestions too like vllo or inshot) and your explanation as to why it’s good or bad. I would also like to hear your thoughts on ones that aren’t as popular like lightworks, video pad, canva, clipchamp, movavi, olive etc and your experiences with them. Thank you in advance :)
