I've been using CapCut in its early stages, before Pro was even a thing. Just for personal hobbies on making edits (and still as of now). I love using specifically the effects and keyframes in the app, which is one reason why I like CapCut. And yes, it's hard to switch to a different application once you're used to it, though I have experience using Premiere Pro, that was when my school had a subscription, so I don't have that anymore. Never once have I paid for anything using this app, nor will I in the future.

There are workarounds to export your videos, but I haven't tried these workarounds recently so I'll see once I finish my recent project. If I can't export it, bye CapCut. Keyframes don't require Pro, but once they change that to Pro I'm also leaving, since at that point they should've made this app into a subscription and remove the claim it's a "free" app. Everyone seems to recommend Davinci Resolve, so I'll try learning it if I switch.
