CapCut

Video editing has become more and more accessible over the years, and recent technology advancements made it possible for many users to edit videos through their phone, as well as via their browser. Besides making video editing more accessible to everyone, operating those programs has also become quite familiar to many users, thanks to an overall streamlined design in the industry, which makes it easier to switch from one tool to another.

A solution aimed at the casual video editor is CapCut, which aims to capture an audience looking to edit and share their clips on social media platforms. Through the number of tools on offer here, anyone can start working on that right away.

A lot of what you'll see here will seem very familiar, especially if you've used video editing tools in the past. After all, such software usually follows a design philosophy focused on usability, which seems to be the case here. You can thus import the media you wish to incorporate in your project, and start the editing process without a fuss.

Fussing over particulars will be quite a common occurrence, however, as there are more than a few elements to work with here. A quite extensive media library, where animations, cut-outs, and other such presets are available, and inserting them into your work only takes dragging them onto the timeline. The same is true for the other sections, namely Audio, Text, Stickers, Effects, Transitions, Filters, and Adjustments.

There's essentially quite a large library of samples at your disposal. While you can choose to ignore those elements entirely, you can just as well find a way to include some of them into your creations.

Thanks to the aforementioned library, filters, transitions, and effects of all manners can be introduced to alter the look of your videos. Each comes with its own settings and particularities, which are freely customizable by the end user. It helps that, by maneuvering the timeline, you can elect to apply these changes only to specific parts of a video if you wish.

Adjustments made by you, for you, are of course also available. Changing the color temperature, hue and saturation, as well as other such values is possible, as well as sharpening the source material, vignetting it, and more. HSL adjustments afford the user more control over their color work, so going more in-depth is very much possible.

CapCut affords the user numerous video editing functions, allowing them to modify the presentation of their material in various ways, while not overcomplicating their work.
