there is a good reason capcut is going to eat adobe's lunch soon.
i teach mobile production .... all over the place, in canada and the us, at several universities and colleges.
one of the keystones of EVERY workshop and class was adobe express --- i sold it as a swiss army knife of creativity .... which it nearly is ... EXCEPT ... Adobe purposely prevents you from importing multiple video clips into an accessable library ... and therefore, you can't edit layers onto a video.
if you want to edit a video in this so-called video editor aka Express .. you have to upload them one at a time. there is no real NLE platform, big or small, mobile or desktop on earth that would ask you to do that,.
you can't call yourself a tool to create videos if you can't import videos for editing ... i spent hours trying to figure it out .... wasting my time, creating libraries and folders inside Creative Cloud, uploading video clips to them and then trying to access them through Express "My Stuff" ...
I was told that the video clips I tried to import into layers "weren't compatable" ... in Express. Yet, if I uploaded them one at a time .... the more difficult way Adobe has engineered in so we'll use Stock Library video .... they suddenly became compatable.
