It's earned a spot at the table for sure. 61 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,720 But we'll get into why later. 62 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,040 Okay. 63 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,120 Now, I find it really interesting that Nate, think media's editor, 64 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,440 he actually switched from Premier Pro to DaVinci Resolve. 65 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,640 Yeah. That was pretty surprising. 66 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,760 Premier Pro is like the industry standard. 67 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,400 I know. Right. 68 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,360 You've got to remember though, Premier Pro, it's powerful, 69 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,960 but it's kind of known for crashing, especially on older systems. 70 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,160 Ugh. Tell me about it. 71 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,480 Yeah. 72 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,720 I've lost so many hours of work to crashes. 73 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,400 It's a nightmare for YouTubers. 74 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,040 Imagine losing all that work right before a deadline. 75 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,000 Don't even remind me. 76 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,800 Oh, so yeah. DaVinci Resolve, it's way more stable. 77 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:49,680 Oh, good to know. 78 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,840 Especially on the new M1 Max, but it's not just about stability. 79 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,320 Yes. 80 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,600 DaVinci Resolve has this awesome all-in-one approach. 81 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,000 Okay. 82 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,560 Like you can do motion graphics right there in the software. 83 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:01,360 No way. 84 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,200 Yeah. So you don't have to go back and forth between Premier and After Effects, 85 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,800 which can be a real time suck. 86 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,720 Oh man. That's got to save so much time. 87 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:09,280 It does. 88 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,480 And I remember the mentioning that DaVinci Resolve is often bundled 89 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,080 for free with Blackmagic Camera. 90 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:14,240 Yeah. 91 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,320 That's crazy good value. 92 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:16,400 Yeah. 93 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,720 Especially considering it's used in Hollywood productions. 94 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,400 It is. And it's a one-time purchase. 95 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,880 You know, you don't have to pay a subscription like Premier Pro. 96 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,240 Oh, that's a huge plus. 97 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,200 Okay. So we've got DaVinci Resolve, which is powerful and stable. 98 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,320 But here's the twist. 99 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,600 Okay. I'm listening. 100 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,880 That Think Media video, they actually show how CapCut can match 101 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920 and sometimes even beat some of DaVinci Resolve's features. 102 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,640 Seriously? 103 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,800 Yeah. Especially when it comes to ease of use. 104 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Huh. That's wild. 105 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,400 They talked about things like auto captioning, you know, 106 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,480 that magic masking thing for isolating subjects, background removal. 107 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:50,800 Right. 108 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,120 All those tasks that take forever in other programs are super simple and CapCut. 109 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,720 It's like they found a way to just condense everything down to one click. 110 00:03:58,720 --> 00:03:59,280 Exactly. 111 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:00,720 It's crazy smart. 112 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:04,320 Especially for YouTubers who are always under pressure to create new content. 113 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,200 Oh, for sure. 114 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaking of which, we talked about music integration earlier. 115 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,920 Is CapCut good for that too? 116 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,360 Oh yeah. It's awesome for that. 117 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,840 Really? 118 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:16,640 It's got this seamless integration for royalty free music and sound effects. 119 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200 So no more spending hours searching for the right music? 120 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,800 Nope. It's all right there. 121 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:21,840 That's a lifesaver. 122 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:26,000 Seriously? Finding the right music for your videos can be a whole job in itself. 123 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:27,520 You're telling me. 124 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,800 All right. So CapCut is clearly more than just a basic editor. 125 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,760 It's like the underdog that's coming out of nowhere. 126 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,800 It's like a ninja. 127 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760 Yeah. It might not have the same hype as some of the other programs. 128 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,080 But it's quietly becoming a big deal. 129 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080 It really is, especially for creators. 130 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,920 Where does that leave Final Cut Pro? 131 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,360 I mean, it's always been known for being user friendly. 132 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,880 But it sounds like it might be missing some stuff that's getting more and more important these days. 133 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,360 Yeah. There are some things to consider with Final Cut. 134 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:58,320 Luckily. 135 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,320 Well, it's still a great option, especially if you're already using a Mac. 136 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,120 Right. 137 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,560 But it has been criticized for being a little slow to innovate. 138 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:13,200 Right. Like it's AI integration isn't as advanced as Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. 139 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,760 Right. And it doesn't have that built-in auto captioning. 140 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,520 Yeah. That's a pretty basic feature now. 141 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:18,960 Pretty much essential for YouTubers. 142 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:25,040 With Final Cut, you often need to buy extra plugins to get those features, which can get expensive. 143 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,720 Yeah. Those costs add up fast. 144 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,640 They do. But hey, at least it's known for being super smooth and efficient, 145 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,720 especially on Macs with the M1 chip. 146 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,440 Okay. So if speed is your top priority, 147 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,840 Final Cut Pro might still be worth checking out. 148 00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:39,600 Yeah. It's still a contender. 149 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:44,000 But let's not forget, CapCut, it's like the dark horse in this race. 150 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:44,800 For sure. 151 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,560 It's pretty amazing that it's even being talked about alongside these industry giants. 152 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,760 It is. It shows how fast they're moving and improving their software. 153 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,800 So we know it's easy to use and it's surprisingly powerful. 154 00:05:55,840 --> 00:05:59,120 What are some of the things that make it stand out, especially for YouTubers? 155 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,960 Well, like you said, it's got auto captioning, that magic masking thing, 156 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:09,440 background removal. Plus, it's got a really great library of royalty-free music and sound effects 157 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,400 built right in. 158 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,320 Oh, wow. So no more scouring the internet for copyright-free music. 159 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,560 Nope. It's all there, ready to go. 160 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,800 That's huge for creators. 161 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,840 It is. And it's also amazing for creating those trendy eye-catching visual effects 162 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:25,920 that everyone's using on social media. 163 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,560 You mean like transitions and overlays and all that? 164 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,920 Exactly. All that stuff. And it's all super easy to use. 165 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,120 They really nailed it with that balance of power and simplicity. 166 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,960 They did. It's like they took all the complexity out of video editing, 167 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,720 but you still get amazing results. 168 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,960 I know, right? It's pretty revolutionary. 169 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,440 It is. And that's why so many creators are loving it. 170 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,800 Now, I know some of those pro editors might think Cap Cut is just a toy. 171 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,160 Oh, yeah. They might say it's not a serious editing tool. 172 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,840 But the Think Media video made a really good point about how things are changing in the video editing world. 173 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,200 What do you mean? 174 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,360 It's like the line between consumer software and professional software is getting blurry. 175 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,320 I see what you mean. 176 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,800 And it's not just about the price.

So we've covered a lot. 192 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,800 We've talked about the big names like Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. 193 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:45,360 Right. 194 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,080 We've talked about this up and comer Cap Cut that's shaken things up. 195 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,280 But before we get too deep into comparing them, 196 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,680 Yeah. 197 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,880 Let's step back for a second and think about what all of this means for you, the listener. 198 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,120 Right. 199 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:03,680 How do you navigate this world of video editing software? 200 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,920 How do you pick the right tool for your YouTube journey? 201 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160 That's the million dollar question, isn't it? 202 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480 It is. And I think the most important thing to remember is, 203 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,280 Brexit. 204 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,040 There's no one right answer. 205 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,360 Yeah. 206 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,720 The best software for you is going to depend on what you need, what your goals are, 207 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,320 and how much you can spend. 208 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,800 Exactly. There's no one size fits all. 209 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:29,360 So before you jump into the deep end and try to master the most complicated software, 210 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,680 it's worth thinking about what you actually need to achieve your goals. 211 00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:34,160 Yeah. 212 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:35,600 Especially if we're just starting out. 213 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Exactly. 214 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,040 You don't want to get overwhelmed. 215 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Right. 216 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,480 And choosing a simpler software to start with. 217 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,040 It doesn't limit your potential. 218 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,600 Nope. 219 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,200 It actually lets you focus on mastering those core editing skills. 220 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,680 Right. 221 00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:52,640 Which will make it way easier to switch to a more advanced software later on if you need to. 222 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120 Exactly. It's all about building those foundations. 223 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,200 Okay. So starting simple is key. 224 00:08:59,200 --> 00:08:59,440 Yeah. 225 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,600 But what if you're already pretty comfortable with the basics? 226 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,480 Okay. 227 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,440 And you're ready to level up your editing game? 228 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:08,080 I see. 229 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120 Should you be looking at something like DaVinci Resolve? 230 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,560 It's definitely worth considering, 231 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:16,400 especially with all those pro-grade features and that surprisingly affordable price. 232 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:17,120 Right. 233 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:23,440 But before you commit, let's really dig into what it can do and compare it to the other options out 234 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,160 there. 235 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,800 Sounds good. 236 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,120 We'll explore all of that in our next segment. 237 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,240 Awesome. Can't wait. 238 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,960 All right. So before we jump into DaVinci Resolve, 239 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,360 I think we should talk about Premiere Pro for a minute. 240 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Okay. Premiere Pro. 241 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,480 It's been the industry standard for so long. 242 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:39,680 It has. 243 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:40,800 Why is that? 244 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,000 Why is it so dominant? 245 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,400 Especially among professionals. 246 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,760 Well, I think one of the biggest things is just how versatile it is. 247 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Premiere Pro is like a beast when it comes to features. 248 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:57,600 It can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, from basic YouTube videos to like Hollywood movies. 249 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,360 So it's got the power and the flexibility. 250 00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,920 Absolutely. 251 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,960 What are some of those standout features that really make it different? 252 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Ooh, their color grading tools are top-notch. 253 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:07,520 Color grading. 254 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,080 You get a level of control that's really hard to match. 255 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:10,880 Really? 256 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,520 Yeah. It's like having a virtual darkroom. 257 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,960 A virtual darkroom. 258 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,560 Yeah, where you can tweak everything, every little detail of your footage. 259 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,160 And you can create that cinematic look. 260 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,560 Okay. So that's how they get those amazing visuals. 261 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:25,120 Exactly. 262 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,640 It's more than just color correction then. 263 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,160 Oh yeah. It's way more than that. 264 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,720 What is it? 265 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,520 It's about creating a mood, a style. 266 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,760 Elevating your footage, adding another layer of storytelling. 267 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:36,640 Makes sense. 268 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,200 And Premiere Pro also has those multi-camera editing capabilities. 269 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,160 Right, which you're amazing. 270 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,960 For anyone working with footage from multiple angles. 271 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:50,480 Especially for live events, music videos, anything with multiple cameras. 272 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,280 Right. That would be a nightmare to sync up manually. 273 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:54,720 A total nightmare. 274 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,160 But we did talk about Premiere Pro having some stability issues. 275 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,640 We did. 276 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,240 Is that still something to worry about? 277 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,760 Yeah. It's something to consider, especially if you're using an older computer. 278 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:04,080 Okay. 279 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,240 But Adobe is always working on improving it, and the newer versions are much better. 280 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:08,880 They are. 281 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,600 Oh yeah. Especially if you have a powerful computer. 282 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,920 Okay. So maybe not the best choice for someone editing on a five-year-old laptop. 283 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:16,720 Probably not. 284 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,320 But if you've got a good machine, it's less of a concern. 285 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:21,520 Yeah. Exactly. 286 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,360 All right. Let's move on to Final Cut Pro. 287 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:23,680 Okay. 288 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,520 It's always had this reputation for being super user-friendly. 289 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,280 Very intuitive. 290 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,000 But I'm getting the sense that it might be falling behind a bit. 291 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,200 You're right. There are some areas where Final Cut is lagging behind. 292 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:35,760 Oh really? 293 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,560 Yeah. It's still a solid choice, especially for Mac users. 294 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,120 Right. 295 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,960 But it's been criticized for being slow to innovate. 296 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,560 Slow to innovate. In what way? 297 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:50,880 Well, for example, its AI integration isn't as advanced as Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. 298 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,680 Oh, I see. 299 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:55,200 And like we said before, it doesn't have built-in auto captioning. 300 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,200 Which is pretty much a must-have for YouTube these days. 301 00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:58,080 It is pretty much. 302 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,120 And with Final Cut, you usually have to buy extra plugins to get that, which adds to the cost. 303 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,880 Yeah. Those costs can really add up. 304 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,800 They do. However, Final Cut is known for being incredibly smooth 305 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,760 and efficient, especially on Macs with the M1 chip. 306 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:17,200 Okay. So if speed is your top priority, Final Cut Pro might still be a good option. 307 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:17,920 It could be. 308 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040 But let's not forget about CapCut, the dark horse in this race. 309 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,560 Oh yeah, CapCut. It's doing some amazing things. 310 00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:29,040 I mean, it's pretty remarkable that it's even being mentioned alongside these industry giants. 311 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,880 It really is. It shows how quickly they're innovating and improving. 312 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,560 So we know it's user-friendly. 313 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:34,880 Yeah. 314 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,480 We know it's surprisingly powerful. 315 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,680 Mm-hmm. 316 00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:40,640 What are some of the things that make it stand out, especially for YouTubers? 317 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,440 Well, you mentioned auto captioning, magic masking, background removal. 318 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:51,280 On top of that, it's got this fantastic built-in library of royalty-free music and sound effects. 319 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,280 So no more spending hours trying to find music that you can legally use. 320 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,760 Exactly. It's all right there, ready to go. 321 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,160 It's got to be a huge time saver for creators. 322 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:05,840 It is. And it's also really good at creating those cool eye-catching visual effects that are 323 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000 super popular on social media right now. 324 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,480 Oh, you mean like transitions and overlays and things like that? 325 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,400 Yep, all of that.
