The verdictThe video editor video podcast teams already use when CapCut runs out of runway.
Free tierNo free tier listed. A trial may be available.
Best forVideo podcasts, multi-camera interview shows, and editors who need a real timeline, not an auto-clip factory.
Not the best fitAudio-only shows, or anyone who wanted one-click vertical clips without learning an editor.
The gotchaSubscription only. There is no one-time license, and the first week is a trial then the meter runs whether the episode shipped or not.
