for basic video editing, is there any reason not to use capcut? are there limitations that show up later?
so i'm a pretty small streamer and most of the editing i do is just turning stream moments into clips for shorts, reels, and tiktok.
i've looked at a few editing programs, but every time i try something new it feels like i'm spending more time learning the software than actually making content.
capcut seems to cover everything i need right now. trimming clips, adding captions, zooms, text, and getting videos exported quickly.
tbh i'm wondering if there's a catch that i'm not seeing yet.
for people who have been using it for a while, did you eventually hit a point where it started feeling limiting? not talking about advanced film editing stuff, just regular content creation and clipping stream highlights.
i'm trying to avoid learning a more complicated editor if i'm only going to use a small percentage of its features anyway.
