A simple Reel workflow
Import the clip, cut the pause before you speak, add captions you can read, and set the cover to a clear frame. Templates are fine for a series look. They are a problem when every creator in your niche is wearing the same one.
If you are choosing between Edits and CapCut, pick the one you open without dread. You can move later. A finished Reel beats a perfect project file.
