capcut is unusable

its so upsetting to me that this app used to pride itself in being a free editing app, but now everything is behind a paywall when it used to not be. for example, so many of my favorite filters or effects have been become pro when they weren't before, as well as the 2k/4k quality option, and the extract audio option. all of the generative ai stuff also has totally ruined my experience. i actually haven't been able to use capcut in almost a year because it is so laggy and completely unusable??? i even got a new phone recently and it's still totally shot. when i go to select an audio and pick one, it closes the app completely. opening the app or a project takes several minutes and even then, it continues to crash. ive gotten a new phone, un—installed and reinstalled, cleared the cache a million times now, etc. im not sure what to do anymore and i still hold capcut close to my heart but i can't even use it 😭.
