CapCut is a great app for video editing as well, but when it comes to cutting and moving around clips, I prefer Rush. CapCut is great for video effects and adding text in my opinion!

If you don't have your own images for your blog posts, Pexels is a great place to get free, high-quality stock imagery. I would recommend using your own photos though, whenever possible!
