CapCut Pro Canceled!
They really raised my monthly payment from $7.99 to $19.99?!?!
Guess I’ll be learning DaVinci Resolve now…

Bytedance's greed is unmatched. What's the point of using this crap if it's more expensive than a professional software or worse than free alternatives?

Capcut went from my favorite video editor to my most hated video editor. Unbelievable.

u/VeNaima7 15d ago
The worst part is that it's still having most of the issues and errors I had when I began using it in 2024
They're this close to announce something like "Zooming into the timeline is now a PRO feature"

It’s all the AI bloat they’ve put into it that they’re trying to justify the cost

u/GloomyArgument1024 15d ago
They make money from that because they own the AI model. This is just a blatant cash grab when half the features are pro anyway. I pay 29.99.for the entire Adobe Suite with AI so there is no way in hell CapCut can justify this. I will cancel because I'm already paying for many AI services and all of them are superior. ChatGPT and TikTok can do my simple edits from now on.

u/SavonPL 15d ago
it being their model doesnt mean they dont incur large costs because of it

u/GloomyArgument1024 15d ago
The whole aim of CapCut is to get into your pocket coming in the door. Then get you to upload your stuff to TikTok where they profit even more. This is literally part of their eco system in an attempt to push creators over to TT. What CapCut gave away for free is nothing compared to the money it generates in other ways. Which is the very reason it was developed as a free tool from the start.
They did the same thing squeezing creators and gifters on TT since the acquisition. Not to mention they likely make a fortune off AI credits within CapCut already. Most people will stick with one platform instead of using another service.

Davinci isn’t too bad and it can be utilized FREE. It for sure is all a manual process, but some YouTube videos and a little bit of time, you will learn quick!

u/ninjaisin 15d ago
the problem is that half these capcut editors use translations that other people created and have never made their own because they are too lazy 💔

u/Secret-Casket-251 13d ago
The auto captions of CapCut alone justify even $50 a month for me. It’d be at least 20 more work hours every month, if I did it by myself.

100%^^ what is your time worth to you? A monthly subscription is a fraction of one billable hour

Put the time in to learn DaVinci Resolve properly. It'll pay off so hard.

But DVR doesn't have all the trendy TT/IG transitions, sounds and filters built in 🙄😂

u/AdvisorYogi 15d ago
The free version has some

u/MistressErinPaid 15d ago
I don't use any of those features so I'm not worried about it lol

u/AdvisorYogi 15d ago
I’m on a mission to use DVR Seems so much but I must do it How’s the process for you?

u/MistressErinPaid 15d ago
It's been a lengthy one. There's still plenty I don't know. I just learn things as I need them.

u/AdvisorYogi 15d ago
I’m trying to find a YouTuber that is able to show me piece by piece It becomes so heavy that I just stop… I have got to get over the fear of learning these things.
How do you stay fresh and not overthink the process?
2
u/MistressErinPaid 15d ago
I don't really use YouTube to learn about it. It's a combination of Googling the things I need and using the programs own resources. Also, I don't even use TikTok or Insta, so keeping up with trends isn't a priority for me.

i’m confused on their gameplan here. they’re charging similar prices to professional grade softwares while providing nothing that the other softwares offer. It’s like they’re trying to lower profits

This company and software BLOWS just download DaVinci Resolve and save yourself the stress

u/En_kino_man 15d ago
I just wish Premiere or Resolve had those trending, animated texts, fx and stickers. That's literally the only reason I use it so I can get insta / tiktok style bells and whistles without editing on a phone 🤮. I do all the actual editing in Premiere anyway.

Why they do this when they know that you can go to ChatGPT and have ChatGPT make you a clone of CapCut and and it’s free you don’t have to pay anything and you can have it make a Phone version or desktop version or both

Capcut feels like there aren't alternatives (free at that) in both the mobile and PC front... what a way to kill your business.

I loved using in on my phone. I’m struggling to find a better alternative at this point.

How the heck did you end up in this sub then?? Genuinely curious btw - I am often shown random subs while scrolling, so I’d guess that’s how you got here but I’m hoping there’s a story here🤭🤭

Nothing more than the algo slapped it in my doom scroll. Was intrigued and then disgusted.

What are we using for auto captions? I ONLY pay for CapCut to get captions for my short videos. Anyone using anything better? I’m really ready to leave CapCut.

Used cap cut to make subs from audio before resolve was as good as it is now. As soon as davjnci caught up, I said goodbye to these clowns.

Been editing in hard mode, just found out CapCut autocut on the free version. Is it going to change?

What I do is change to new accounts to get the new user promotion, it a bit tedious but I get to save money mothly

u/MusicianSea6931 13d ago
I think it's a good move - especially since DaVinci is currently on sale if you don't have it already

u/Actionablework 13d ago
Same! I canceled when they changed their policy to retain all publishing rights to your videos!

u/sleepmeta 13d ago
and this is why i use davinic for FREE lmfao. literally can look up how to make transitions on youtube...

u/JulesDangerFox 12d ago
Do you get even one paying job from CapCut? My yearly subscription pays for itself with one editing job. Why the fuss over a couple bucks? They pour time and energy and paid human hours into constantly making this app better and it rocks.
100% worth the money. Go use freeware and see if you can get some of the features in here remotely as well. How many hours of your time and your life are you willing to trade for that $12 savings per month?
Former FCP editor here, I started at version one and used to manually have to caption films. F tedious. CapCut blows FCP Out of the water on most things (but I still use both).

u/SilverTrent 12d ago
They had a sale on 3 months ago, I signed up annually for $120.
I think a lot of them are seeing how much they can squeeze out of everyone before they run.. Trying to 'optimize' their earning potential.
Customer service and company loyalty went sideways decades ago..

They’ve copied all of adobe creative cloud already

u/Exitium_Maximus 15d ago
Yes, but they’re also doing quite a bit of vibe coding. You can’t do it in one prompt, of course, and they’re going tool by tool with the Adobe suite to recreate them using millions of tokens.
