I have studied Finance (CA, CMA, etc.) and worked for around 10 years in companies. I recently started a KZbin channel on Finance & Economy. Trust me, delving into KZbin, handling the camera, editing, and all related aspects was a completely new and the toughest experience for me. However, your channel along with few more has immensely helped me in this KZbin journey so far. Thank you very much, and please keep up the good work!.❤👍

[@1Horst]

Great tutorials, I love Capcut but been told they will take certain information and photos from you? How true us that? The reason I ask, I like to make a family tree video for our family. Would you recommend this for personal images and videos from family events etc? Thanks for any feedback.

[@sharonwalsh456]

Thank you for the shared information, very useful.

[@PrimalVideo]

No problem, so glad it's useful 😀 - Hazel, PV Team

[@thekoalamama]

I switched from Davinci Resolve to CapCut because DR had way more bells and whistles than I needed. I like the simplicity of Capcut much better although a bit disappointed to learn who the parent co is

[@rdkirk3834]

I came here to make those specific points.

[@gazavoice_1]

who??

[@rdkirk3834]

@@gazavoice_1 Capcut's parent company is ByteDance Ltd., the same Chinese company that owns TikTok.

[@iceman7606]

ByteDance. The company that owns Tik Tok.​@@gazavoice_1

[@OlivianP0P0781]

Yah it's a pretty nice program for simpler projects. Still, I use it in combination with Davinci Resolve and Premier. It just depends on what project I'm working on. (Also yah hate byte dance)

[@riseupstudios12]

I think I’m going to try these out thank you.

[@PrimalVideo]

Hope it works out. You're welcome! - Hazel, PV Team

[@haniespanieldollis]

I think I was a bit hasty upgrading to Pro VSDC. Can sense more money being spent on your recommendations. Thanks mate 😊

[@dilrukshiperera-yo5br]

Thank you. I did an easy, quick video editing with these tips.

[@PrimalVideo]

That's fantastic to hear! Glad the tips helped you create a quick and easy video. 😄 - Hazel, PV Team

[@ynyslochtyn]

Filmora video editor is intuitive and capable without massive system requirements. Not free but not overly expensive.

[@TheNtrLight]

I'm using filmora only bcoz of the built-in screen recording, but as an editing software it has limitations and bugs.

[@ynyslochtyn]

@@TheNtrLight Good info.

Thank you for this excellent vid.

Great video of a great editor!

[@PrimalVideo]

Wow, thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@ronyzmiri]

@@PrimalVideo I have tried the 3 editors on my PC with the same video clip. CapCut - 4 minutes - 1,7 GB file size DaVinci - 15 minutes - 2,5 GB file size - the SSD got hot and ventilation worked hard Filmora - 15 minutes - 2,65 GB I will stick with my good, trusty and easy to use free version of the CapCut!

[@izi-ana]

Hi! Which Mac do you need to use CapCut? I.e. does it need at least 8GB RAM or Apple M1 or anything like that?

[@kirtiraikwar3407]

I mean I can run it on phone easily

[@ecofriend93]

Resolve for (aspiring/) filmmakers.

[@ATLJB86]

Also I like the templates CapCut has but I only recreate them way better in Davinci. It’s great for ideas.

[@PrimalVideo]

Cool, glad that works for you - Hazel, PV Team

[@constructionomnipotence49t83]

Thank you ...great info ... Cap cut has come a long way! Im a DaVinci Resolve guy!

You're welcome, see you in the next one 😀 - Hazel, PV Team

[@remoteworkinternational]

I love using capcut. So simple to use. Capcut makes it easy for me to transition to Davinci Resolve.

That's great, all the best with your edits - Hazel, PV Team

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks, John - Hazel, PV Team

[@ATLJB86]

I love Davinci and will never change but I’m still on the free version so I don’t have access to magic mask.. That’s where CapCut comes in with its AI cutout. Fast easy way to create a video then cut yourself out to place yourself wherever. Very ideal for people that want to put a fake KZbin studio in their background over sitting in your car 😎

[@jaybuckeye2866]

I'm a total beginner. I'm never going to be a videographer. It's just going to be me talking interspersed with some still shots (no videos). Where do I start?

[@louisdevriesoutdoors6019]

Compare using a green screen affect in Davinci and Shotcut.

[@hanierfamily]

Picking up a low resonance on your vocal track. Maybe the desk you're sitting at...

[@johnsydney100]

I want to create KZbin videos on how to code in different computer language , any suggestion ?

When u say privacy concerns on capcut,,do u mean malware , viruses etc?

[@srinivascreator9430]

Can we increase sound in video on capcut

[@techsupport7898]

Cap Cut I already used for last one year but now Text option not working bit all other features are working. Already uninstalled and installed also but same is happening. From India. Any idea can suggest.

[@TLZzzzs]

What about Movavi or Envato?

[@mannys4036]

I had Filmora but always found it clunky to use. Was not user friendly and constant updates would change what you had learned. Not recommended.

[@sebriabdulkadir3658]

man you so Pro

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks, cheers - Hazel, PV Team

[@MAXNOTFOUND6363]

I Just wish that alight motion was for pc as well

[@petragustafsson3015]

Do you know an editing program that works for 30 spf videos? 🙃

[@Zavalas_SMT1]

Do the free versions cause a watermark on the videos? i would assume so im looking for something thats free that doesnt add a watermark

Powerdirector is a great software with great features for holiday, events, social media creating videos

[@PrimalVideo]

Glad you're enjoying that software - Hazel, PV Team

[@dataventurer9998]

I've been using Power Director 365 for about three years. It gets the job done for real estate videos, has solid support with their online Help index and email response. Lots of media assets available, too. (TONS!). What got me looking at Capcut was that Power Director's transitions seem to only be available in the 16x9 format. I had a video series I am creating that''s in 9x16, so I started using Capcut. It has everything I need at this point, plus a LOT better color grading tools. I'm probably not going to renew my PD 365 subscription when it comes up next year, about $60.

[@georges_crafts]

Cool

[@PrimalVideo]

Thanks - Hazel, PV Team

[@GhayalAshik]

Capcut not download effect please Help

[@zoelee4090]

Sadly capcut can't give more than 4K videos.. my gopro records 5.3K and it's quite sad that the edited videos won't look as good as recorded.

[@Protostarz]

Same! I recorded 5.3K this weekend and am devastated at the news.

[@youaregodspursuit]

Cap cut is having issues with user to be able to get videos to export... it uploads before one can adjust to last version... really... once a week???

[@PrimalVideo]

We use it all the time and haven’t experienced this..

[@Itz_Aadi24]

capcut is not opening in my browser

[@littleavationguy8268]

Premiere pro?

Too much money for crashing every day

[@littleavationguy8268]

Well you can crack it, and i mean i have 8gb ram and it rarely crashes

[@demon6937]

Too bad davinci won’t use the gpu for free versions takes more than 9hrs to export 5hr video

[@andresfelipeayala1995]

I installed da Vinci resolve and didn't work well in my laptop. I had to uninstall it again.

[@constructionomnipotence49t83]

You need a powerful Computer / workstation for DaVinci Resolve. Especially for 3D motion graphics

[@FiskamedTony]

Same here, though I have a pretty powerful PC. CapCut worked fine and also earlier installed PinnacleStudios latest version. Bit sad that DaVinci won't work...

[@ljmproductions1]

Resolve is the way to go 💪🏼

Good luck with your edits 👍 - Hazel, PV Team

[@boundless-abundance]

Audio 🤔

[@GabeHowardd]

I hate Davinci Resolve for the sole fact that you can't install it outside from the main drive

[@Bilal-zl7ky]

Is it a sponsored video ?

Doesn't look like it to me. I think it was an honest assessment.
