CapCut quietly updated their terms and it gives them all the rights to your content including the ability to use, modify, and profit from it!! 👀

 

I’ve seen a lot of buzz about this on LinkedIn and Reddit. What are your thoughts on this? What other alternative editing apps are you using?

From a brand standpoint I definitely won’t be using CapCut, too high of a brand risk for a third party to have access to modify and profit off of our content. I’m looking into the Instagram Edits app. Veed is also a good alternative if you were primarily using capcut to auto generate captions!

Oh wow! I hadn’t caught that. Going to look into this more!

@emma.peneguy Same here! I’ll look into Veed! Thanks for the recommendation 😊

I’m using Alight Motion, and it is good if you are just starting your journey.

Wow, thanks for mentioning this. I agree, this is a risk when creating content for a brand. I have been alternating between CapCut and Edits, and will stick solely to Edits for now!

I first gave Edits a try in hopes of Instagram algorithms favoring the content. I did see a spike in engagement on a few posts made with Edits, but nothing conclusive. 

Does anyone know if past content created/stored in CapCut is safe or is now apart of the new T&C?
