subverted or working as intended?

I had a suspicion! Good luck to you both!

It's going to depend very much on the features that your daughter used in capcut and what she will need. If it's their "AI" tools and tiktok filters, probably not. If someone knows of foss projects that have those I'd love to hear about them!

If she just needs a video editor that's free and powerful kdenlive is much simpler than getting into something like davinci resolve (which I would never recommend as a first step unless someone was very passionate about the editing process itself) and will give her the power to do pretty much anything you'd want, outside of proprietary filters or simple one-click tools.

Openshot seems fairly similar to kdenlive, maybe a little simpler. Check it out if that might work for you. I've never used it and can't compare.

Another one I have not used but is again MUCH simpler with fewer features but this may be a plus actually is Vidcutter. It looks like what I might imagine a FOSS version of Windows Movie Maker might be. Just drag clips in, cut them, mash them together, export. Simple, but not anything fancy.

So in order of least experience and desire to learn the software needed to most, I would recommend Vidcutter, then Openshot, then Kdenlive.

In order of the potential quality and variety of projects possible it's directly inverse.

Unless your daughter knows what ACES and REC 709 means then maybe point her toward Davinci.

It's not even fundamentally possible with the current LLMs. It's like saying "Yes, it's totally possible to do that! We just need to invent something that can do that first!"

This is not surprising in the least from the organization that brought us such amazing hits as "Cigarettes aren't bad for you! Doctors recommend them!" when cigarette companies discovered their products give you cancer and "Climate change isn't real! Invest in big oil!" when it became clear we couldn't keep just burning fossil fuels forever. If there's a take that is bad for people, the heritage foundation is there to promote the worst.

I once watched a youtube video where someone built a rig to explore this very question

Thank you! I didn't know you could just do that! Though it's been a long time since I spoiled the ballot and I do actually just vote now. But if things are that bad again I'll know what to do.

Edit: No I can't. The option is only available in provincial elections and only available in Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. If you live in one of those provinces though, it's a good option!

In Canada we vote with a pencil on a piece of paper so I have spoiled my ballot in the past by not selecting a candidate and writing "NO" on the ballot

Feels authoritarian to me. I think everyone should vote! But I wouldn't force people to. If you did, I suspect that a lot of votes that ordinarily wouldn't have been cast would be spoiled anyway
