Editorial Policy

Our purpose

CasperEdits exists to help people edit video better. A guide is only worth publishing if a reader can follow it and get a better result. We do not publish pages just to fill a keyword list.

How a guide is written

• Original text. We write in our own words. We do not copy or paraphrase software manuals, other sites or marketing pages.
• A fixed structure. Each guide has an objective, prerequisites, numbered steps, examples, common mistakes and related guides. Shortcuts and best practices are added when they help.
• Universal vs. software-specific. Procedures that work in any editor are written as universal guides. Anything that depends on a menu, a button or a feature of one program is marked as software-specific and kept in its own guide.
• Only real features. We describe features that exist in the version named in the guide. If we are not sure a feature exists in your version, we say so instead of guessing.

Software versions

Menus and features change. Every software-specific guide names the program and version or release period it uses, for example “DaVinci Resolve 19, free version”. CapCut updates often and some features depend on region or plan, so we state that too. If your screen differs, look for the same idea under a different name.

Numbers, specs and tools

• When we quote a platform’s published recommendation, we label it as such and tell you to check the platform’s current page.
• When a value is our own suggestion, we label it as a suggestion.
• Our calculators give estimates. Each result says it is an estimate and explains the formula.
• We do not invent specifications. When a platform does not publish a value, we say that and give a cautious starting point instead.

Accuracy checks

Before a guide goes live, an editor checks the steps for order, completeness and clarity, checks that every feature named exists in the stated version, and checks that links to other guides work. We review guides again when a major software release changes how a task works.

Corrections and updates

If you find a mistake, tell us through the contact page. We correct factual errors as soon as we can and change the “Updated” date on the guide. We do not quietly leave known errors in place.

Independence, ads and sponsorships

Our advice does not depend on who pays us. If we ever show ads, they will be kept apart from the guides and will not change what we write. If we use affiliate links or receive free products, we will say so on the page where they appear. We do not accept payment to praise or rank a product.

Tools and automation

We may use software tools to help with research, spell checking or formatting. People are responsible for what is published, and every guide is read and checked by an editor before release.

Limits of our advice

Editing results depend on your footage, your computer and your taste. Our guides are educational, and we cannot promise a specific result. Read our Terms of Use for details.
