How to get CapCut Premium (PC)
Bullshit app, bullshit company, but lightweight and easy to work with.
1. Compound trick
First of all, by the time writing, this trick has already been patched. Therefore, you have to use an older version of CapCut (preferrably before 19th May, 2025).
You can download older versions of Capcut here.
After making a video using premium features, select the part you want to export and click [Create Compound Clip] 
Then, click [Pre-process compound clip] to render it and save to cache. Don’t forget to set playback quality to High. 
Wait for Capcut to finish rendering the video. Then press Win + R and paste this:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\CapCut\User Data\Projects\com.lveditor.draft
Choose the corresponding project folder, open \Resources\combination and the rendered video will be there.
2. Old version (1.5.0)
For older machines or you simply don’t want the troublesome procedure, you can install the last version of Capcut that doesn’t have premium features. Of course it may lacks some transitions or templates, but the simplicity and intuitivity still far exceed open other open sourced options like OpenShot or Shotcut. After installing, immediately run this .bat script to block Capcut from automatically download and upgrading to the latest version (end stage capitalism).
