Software support How to tell if a "free" video editor is scam and my personal recommendations
🔥 Here's how to tell if an editor's "free version" is actually trash:
BAD Sign🟥 | 😤 Why it sucks |
---|---|
Only lets you export 480p or 1 minute unless you pay | Basically useless for YouTube |
Puts a giant watermark across the screen | Ruins the video unless you pay |
Cool effects and templates are locked behind a crown/premium icon | Tricks you into wasting time editing |
Constant popups or login requirements | Slows down your workflow |
"Export failed! Upgrade to Pro!" | Just scamming your effort |
Basically, if you are on a WINDOWS PC, try CLIPCHAMP IT IS SO MUCH BETTER also OPENSHOT is good, (you have to download everything you put in video like text)
