What About CapCut and Mobile Apps?
CapCut has been blocked in India since 29 June 2020 and is not officially available on the Indian Play Store or App Store. For Reels and Shorts, students in India use Instagram's free Edits app, then move to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve for anything professional. Short-form editing skills transfer easily once you know a desktop editor.

Editing Software Questions
Which video editing software should I learn first?
Learn Adobe Premiere Pro first if you want a job, because it is the editor most studios, agencies and YouTube teams in Coimbatore ask for. Learn DaVinci Resolve alongside it for colour grading, since the free version is enough to practise. Fulcrum Creative School's 6-month video editing course in Gandhipuram teaches both, with After Effects and Audition.
Is DaVinci Resolve better than Premiere Pro?
Neither is better for everyone. DaVinci Resolve is stronger for colour grading and is free to start, while Premiere Pro is more common in job posts and works closely with After Effects for motion graphics. Most professional editors learn both.
Is DaVinci Resolve really free?
Yes. The free version of DaVinci Resolve is a full editor that exports up to UHD 4K at 60 frames per second. The paid Studio version is a one-time purchase of about $295 and adds AI Neural Engine tools, GPU acceleration, higher resolutions and HDR grading.
How much does Premiere Pro cost in India?
Adobe Premiere Pro costs about ₹1,675 a month plus 18% GST on an annual single-app plan in India, and more on a month-to-month plan. Prices change, so check Adobe's India site before buying. You do not need to buy it to learn at Fulcrum, because you edit on lab systems in class.

Can I edit videos on a low-spec laptop?

Do I need Avid Media Composer?
Only if you want to edit feature films, TV series or OTT shows, where Avid is common in post-production teams. For YouTube, weddings and ads, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve are enough. Fulcrum's 8-month Film Editing course teaches Avid and Final Cut Pro.
