CapCut's Controversial Terms of Service (08:47)
Now, let’s get into the meat of today's discussion—CapCut. Recently, they updated their terms of service, and the implications are significant. As of June 12, 2025, CapCut has granted itself a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display your content—even if it's just saved as a draft. This includes rights to your voice, face, likeness, and editing style. Yes, you heard that right!
This means that even if you delete your content or leave the platform, they still retain rights to your intellectual property. What's more concerning is that if CapCut gets sued over your content, you could be held liable to defend and indemnify them. It’s crucial for all creators to read the fine print and be aware of what they’re signing up for.
Meta's Shift: All Videos Are Now Reels (24:33)
Next up, let’s talk about Meta. Recently, they announced that all videos uploaded to Facebook will now be treated as Reels, regardless of length or format. This shift merges short-form discovery with traditional content delivery, and while it could improve content reach, it also poses challenges for creators focusing on long-form content.
With this change, you need to rethink your video strategies. If your content isn't optimized for quick hooks and engaging visuals, you may see a drop in engagement. To adapt, consider adding captions, relevant hashtags, and shortening your intros to cater to the Reels-first algorithm.
AppSumo's Transparency Improvements (37:37)
Moving on to AppSumo, they’re making strides to improve transparency. They’re now notifying users via email when a purchased tool shows signs of failure, which is a significant upgrade from their previous policies. This means you’ll be informed before a problem escalates, allowing you to take action sooner.
Additionally, they have implemented a "We Got Your Back" policy for certain cases, ensuring users receive credits for purchases affected by issues. If you've been hesitant about AppSumo, this is a positive step toward rebuilding trust.
Canva Integrates V03: The Future of AI Video Creation (48:10)
Now let’s talk about Canva. They recently integrated Runway’s V03 AI model, which allows users to create videos from text prompts directly within the platform. This is a game changer for those of us who utilize Canva for various design needs.
The ability to generate video clips easily opens up new avenues for creativity, whether you’re creating promotional material or educational content. Just remember, the clearer your prompts, the better the results you’ll achieve!
MidJourney's V1 Video Model: A Game Changer (1:03:20)
Finally, let’s wrap up with MidJourney. They’ve released their V1 video model, transitioning from still image generation to animated storytelling. This is an exciting development for creators looking to add dynamic visuals to their projects.
With a subscription plan starting at just $10 a month, MidJourney is making high-quality video creation accessible to everyone. It’s time to unleash your imagination and explore the potential of this tool!
