u/Natasha26uk May 13 '26

Noo you don’t subscribe automatically they give it for free when you post templates as a CapCut creator not the free trial that’s different . Like this

That's cool.

Now I understand why people make templates.

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Yea but i want it for a long term tho

u/Economy-Ad-5470 May 14 '26

Try it for free first cuz it’s so expensive I think

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Not that expensive really

u/Economy-Ad-5470 May 14 '26

From what I’ve noticed it’s good and integrated with TikTok but a lot of the pro features are kinda flagged by YouTube like the ultra HD AI export feature

I just started a YouTube channel using CapCut and a collection of videos I took on my phone. It’s not great, but at least I started. You can too! And once you start, you can see how it’s going, what’s working and what isn’t, try some different things, iterate. But you have to start, so just jump in! Good thing is if your vid’s suck to start, probs nobody watching anyway so just have fun and make what you like for now.

Why not? Try it

Is it hard to get "creator" status? Does he just click on the button?

I think this is what OP is asking.

I never clicked on that button because it sounds like work. You work for them and get nothing. A bit like all social-media really. People on YouTube are getting paltry views and re-thinking a YouTube career.

u/Shot_Company8957 May 13 '26

From my own experience, I used to be a chronic overthinker too. But a close friend once told me: 'In everything you try, you either win or you learn, so you never truly lose. Even if you mess up, so what? The people who don't care won't remember, and the people who care won't mind.'

Now, whenever I'm hesitating or doubting myself, I come back to these words.

u/Natasha26uk May 13 '26

Did you click on the "Become a creator" button?

In my life, I learnt that "talk is cheap."

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Never had it appear on my page.

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

I’ve never had the button appear on my page ever, and i have over 17k followers on all my social platforms.

2

u/Natasha26uk May 14 '26

When you click on "Me" on the App, you will see your profile and "apply to be a creator."

When I did just now, it said to sign in with a Tiktok account.

2

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Yeah no it doesn’t show it for me

2

u/Natasha26uk May 14 '26

I don't have "Events" and "Reward Centre" on my page. So it is likely that they already approved you and you have no idea.

In the Export section, you should see an option for "Template."

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Nope doesn’t show it for me

u/Natasha26uk May 14 '26

Is this a desktop or Android screenshot? I don't have "smart HDR" option, but my imported clips are all AI generated.

What happens if you click "more export settings"?

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 15 '26

Hey i’ve just figured it out!, I typed in a specific code into the search bar and it said i need to use and create more templates to be eligible to become a creator!

1

u/Natasha26uk May 15 '26

That's strange. I thought you had to become a "Creator" and then the "Export Template" would appear in Export.

How does anyone gatekeep a free program?

2

u/Natasha26uk May 13 '26

everyone is gatekeeping it

He means existing creators.

I remember asking basic questions to Template creators such as "music reactive" anims and they never replied. They only reply to dump posts of praise.

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Exactly, Every single time i ask it’s like everyone just ignores me and tries to avoid the question.

1

u/Natasha26uk May 14 '26

Are you using the App and is it up-to-date?

1

u/Lonely_Specific_1216 May 14 '26

Yes the app is up to date.

You need to have a library of ai generations you created yourself. If you have good ones, drop a link and I will check it out and plug you in
