Due to policy uncertainties, especially with the U.S. government's scrutiny of foreign-controlled apps like CapCut, there is a risk of future operational restrictions. Despite a 75-day delay in enforcing the "Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversaries Act," CapCut's long-term stability remains uncertain. Relying solely on platforms like CapCut and TikTok exposes creators to disruptions. Exploring alternative video editing software ensures continued creation without concerns over potential restrictions and provides access to more advanced, professional features.
