STEPS:

1. Download Latest CapCut on PC

2. DO NOT SIGN IN! (Some people said you can stay logged in so try for yourself)

3. Edit your video as normal and use any pro features you want.

4. Once done editing select everything in timeline, right click, click "Create compound Clip"

5. Right Click clip again and select "Pre-process compound clip"

6. Find CapCut folder on disk and goto -> CapCut Drafts, find the Folder with the name of your project.

7. Open it and find folder named "Resources"

8. Open resources and find folder named "Combination"

Inside the combination folder you will find your fully rendered video with all pro features.

EDIT #1: If you can’t play the video for any reason rename it and put “.mp4” as the file extension.

EDIT #2: Yes this still works.

Hi, I'm sure everyone is well aware of CapCut's downfall and the newest drama being the updated terms of service. Things are just getting worse. Right now, I'm lucky that the CapCut version on my PC is rather old and I can keep it from updating itself, but I'm not sure for how long. Especially with the TOS changing.

I'd like some video editing platform suggestions that are free and beginner friendly (maybe similar to CapCut) with PC versions. I've seen several app suggestions for people who do their edits on their phone or tablet, but I do most of mine on my PC. I will take app suggestions too if specified that they do not have PC versions, as a plan B type of thing where I have to use my tablet or phone instead.

I'm not an expert or someone who has a career based on this, it's more of a hobby since I want to start uploading timelapse videos of my drawings.

Another thing that's important to me is that the software won't slap on a watermark and force me to buy their premium version if I want it gone (literally the thing that got me into using CapCut until they made it so you only have 3 exports with no watermark).

Thanks for the help in advance!
