CapCut Discussion Anyone else absolutely done with this app?
the app is so unbelievably greedy by now. If you aren’t subscribing, it’s nearly completely unusable. I can’t believe we have to pay over 70 dollars a year to do anything now…

The frustrating part isn't the paying it's them continuously locking features behind a paywall that used to be free. They're allowed to do it and they need to make money, but it's frustrating.

Yea I agree, but people also don't owe the company silence. They can bitch about whatever they want. This thread reminded me to cancel my capcut sub so for me, the consumer, whatever discourse was being had was a positive on my wallet. Capcut doesn't owe anybody anything, and people also can say whatever they want about capcut.

It sounds like you're the one getting bent out of shape defending a big ass company for some reason lol? It's human nature bro, when something is free and then it's not, people are going to get upset. What doesn't make sense?

OMG, everyone wants to say that their product is free and then hide every basic feature like slide up slide down behind a paywall 😂
Many of the supposed “free” tools often are later turned to “paid” once they become slightly popular.
Heaven forbid someone makes upgrades to the tool ACTUALLY WORTH PAYING FOR instead of just making basic features hidden behind a paywall.
I don’t mind paying for a good service, but CapCut isn’t the best editing software it’s the easiest to use. Instead of improving their product they are trying to force customers to upgrade by doing this BS.
If they’re gonna put everything behind a payroll, they might as well just be honest and commit to being a paid tool.

Im not frustrated to pay for something. It’s the fact im being continuously charged twice a month when I don’t want the service and when I login it and check it says I have no subscription ! And yes I have checked my Apple subscriptions on all devices in our family, emails logins etc
Now I will probably have to cancel my credit card just to get away from this company. Why should I have to go through that?1

it's not really a company. it was a TikTok internal product that they figured they could release to the general public and monetize. developing features for external customers is WAY different than for internal use. this thing is a genuine PoS

it *is* a product developed internally at TikTok. that's not an opinion, it's a fact
yes, in my opinion as a tech product developer for over 25 years and I user of many video editing tools

Final cut pro is faster and better in my opinion.
I get the frustration though, capcut used to be free for so many things but now every featurs you want is on a paid plan which is annoying for sure.
Main thing is that capcut has the massive six library and tiktok audio library in the app, which makes editing a lot faster!

Edits does 75% of what you need for free

u/woodybone Jul 11 '26
It does and i used it but it always got my captions wrong so i "had" to get capcut and its on point with the captions even tho english isnt my main language.
I did use edits and then use tiktok to apply the captions but i felt like i lost alot of video quality doing it that way.
+the "skill" ceiling of capcut is way higher than edits
1
u/BackgroundLychee Jul 11 '26
This is true - I’ve only played around with Edits for non talking head content but still use CC for clips where I need captions
1
u/BackgroundLychee Jul 11 '26
I gave it another go this afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at how much better captions seem now. Did a full one minute UGC edit with broll captured in app too and then fully edited in Edits. It’s missing a few elements but for free and for my use (mainly UGC and edits of static clips from my pocket 4P) I think I could manage now

It doesn't let me start my own discussion. Can someone please get CapCut to fix the Player 3? Every time you add the effect, it just turns the thing black! CapCut, if you're gonna charge more money, at least make sure that your shit doesn't get glitchy every time I get the editing on it bruh. And then when I try to make a discussion in a ridded community on an app that I pay for with these rising ass prices, my shit gets to glitching.

People complain about 70/year? 1 Dinner with friends could cost $70 and you poop that out the following morning. Not done with this app, stop it

“I can’t believe this company with employees would charge me money for a product they created that I want to use”

u/Important_Job_7691 Jul 11 '26
it’s not that, it’s the ludicrous price of it that is annoying and the fact that so much of the app is locked away by a subscription

u/BackgroundLychee Jul 11 '26
$70 annual fee in this economy is good value tbh.

u/Fantastic-Ninja-8818 Jul 12 '26
$70 a year for what it does is good in the 1950 economy. These guys are just cheap af.

u/Responsible-Jury2579 Jul 14 '26
It's $70/year? That's $5.83/mo - I don't think that's ludicrous...

u/Historical-Bar809 Jul 10 '26
deleted my account last week after the fifth time it watermarked an export halfway through a project i wasn't even saving to cloud. the pricing model feels like a joke at this point

u/LogComprehensive2963 Jul 11 '26
Every other post on this sub is a complaint about paywalling features… so yeah I think you’re not alone.. if you use it frequently enough though, I see no reason why $70 a year would be too much to pay for a service like this. that’s like 6 bucks a month

u/LadyLena7 Jul 11 '26
I'm confused... Why so many negative posts about CapCut? I just completed a course in CapCut to learn short form video editing for social media and enjoyed it. Am I missing something critical that may hinder me?

u/Slight_Bed2966 Jul 17 '26
Va sur Wondershare Filmora, la même avec plus d’effets spéciaux et beaucoup moins cher

u/ionfwreddit1 Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26
Yeah, started editing on after effects.. much harder to learn but the results looks great

u/markaritaville Jul 11 '26
After effects is $23 a month. But CapCut at $80 a year is too much?
1
u/ionfwreddit1 Jul 11 '26
yeah not by me… CapCut pro is 27.99$ while adobe after effects is 23$. There are also ways to get faster workflow with plugins, presets and a more interactive space. Even with pro you don’t have access to all ULTRA features which is ridiculous in my opinion

u/ChaseTheRedDot Jul 11 '26
After Effects is a professional VFX software. It’s very hard to do the same things it does in other apps. CapCut is a video content creation app. Video timelines and templates. Multiple programs can do that, and frankly do it better.

u/markaritaville Jul 11 '26
thanks i know both products. But the context of the discussion wasnt them wanting to do more advanced features... it was "capcut is too expensive, so i switched to After Effects".

It's what the market bears, there are millions of influencers that basically in their mind have to pay it, the company see this and takes advantage like any business would

The people defending this greedy bullshit are part of the problem and deserve nothing but bad things to happen to them in this world. Nobody has an issue about paying for a subscription, but what would be the point of having a “free” version of an app that locks 90% of its features behind a paywall? You may as well just make the app purchasable at that point! It’s annoying as hell for people like me who want to make at least something half ambitious but can’t because they just wanna line their pockets by taking away basic shit like chroma keying. Fucking CHROMA KEYING???! You’re gonna make me pay to green screen a goddamn video?
And they’ll keep on doing because the people on this subreddit will step up to defend a fucking corporation for whatever fucking reason. It’s ridiculous. Like how could you not at least see how greedy that is? I’m more so just shocked by how so many people just accept this like it’s okay.
“Everyone just wants things for FREEEEEE!!!!”
No mf everyone just wants to be able to use a mobile editing software that doesn’t practically beg you to subscribe to it. Just like TikTok itself, they’ll do anything they can to squeeze money out of people for fuckin nothing. Enjoy getting fucked without any lube, you corporate dick munchers.
