Best foss alternative to CapCut? (feddit.dk)

My daughter wants to edit footage from roblox for her stuff, yknow, and she's been using CapCut but it has a size limit which is frustrating.

Is there an easy and fun foss alternative to capcut?

Well, she's 12 and likes to play roblox and do funny voice edits on her videos. As I am sure you can guess, it's stuff like one-click voice modulation which is the big selling point of CapCut for her. So I am guessing ease of use and the ability to at least create and save audio editing presets and do texts and so on is paramount.

I agree that this is not really a need that foss tries to fill which is ok. We tried kdenlive but it seems a little advanced for her needs and wants. I tried Vidcutter and it seems a little too simple (feature-wise, the usability was nice).

We just took a look at ShotCut which seems alright, but I think I am more into it than she is. I hope I can convince her to take a look at it. Thanks!

I had a suspicion! Good luck to you both!
