    LightCut is probably the best mobile alternative to CapCut as it is free and feature packed. It might even be better than CapCut if you'd ask me. It is still a mobile video editor so cannot compare the workflow with DaVinci Resolve, PremierePro or FinalCut but hey it's 100% free as in free beer.

    According to many critical reviews on Google PlayStore, users complain this app forced them to use templates with copyrighted music , according to me it takes almost 300 MB of data to download from PlayStore and storage of course, this app is not even close to CapCut, I'm not a huge of Bytedance privacy policies but there's no better option I would rather using Meta or YouTube editors even knowing they aren't privacy focused.
