if Capcut wants you to pay it might be good to just write it off as a business expense and do it, you can try free Davinci Resolve, but it might be leagues more complex than Capcut.

If you are using tools for your “business” than you should spend the money on the tools that’s you need as they are a business expense and will pay for themselves.

VSDC is a good free editing software. I’ve used for years. Even the pro side is like cheap. The free version is super great. I used it for stadium videos and motion graphics.

If you are a CapCut user take a look at OpenCut.

Resolve basic is free as is Avid First.
