If you need a video editor that balances power with simplicity, CapCut delivers. I’ve used it for everything from quick social clips to polished marketing content. The templates alone save so much time—it’s like having a pro editor in your pocket.

My Full Experience

I’ve been using CapCut for over a year now, both on my iPhone and iPad, and it’s become my default for editing on the go. What stands out immediately is how intuitive the interface is—even if you’re new to editing, you can jump right in. The template library is massive and updated regularly, with styles that match current trends on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. I’ve used these for my small business promotions, and the engagement boost was noticeable almost instantly. One feature I rely on heavily is the text-to-speech tool. It’s fantastic for adding narration without recording your voice, though I will say it caps at 500 characters per conversion, which can be a bit limiting for longer scripts. Still, for short-form content, it’s more than enough. The desktop version syncs seamlessly if you want to switch devices mid-edit, which is a huge plus for workflow. Export quality is sharp even at 4K, and I’ve never had issues with compression artifacts. That said, the app does take up a fair bit of storage, especially if you work with longer videos or use lots of assets. Also, some users have reported occasional glitches with template access during peak times—thankfully, I’ve only seen that message once or twice. Overall, CapCut strikes a rare balance: it’s accessible enough for beginners but packed with enough tools (like keyframing, chroma key, and speed controls) to keep advanced users happy. Whether you’re editing travel videos, creating content for a side hustle, or just having fun, it’s a standout choice.

So I downloaded the app on my new iPad for editing and when I tried to get in the app it claimed that the app wasn’t secure and I had to download the latest version so I tried and it has me left on the download screen. The same is happening with Picstart. Please resend and help me, thank you!
