[01:09] PhotoGrid. This isn't just an ordinary app; it's a complete studio in your pocket, combining all the features into complete studio in your pocket, combining all the features into one app. So, here's what the app looks like. I
[01:21] 'll leave its link in the description and the pinned comment. Let's start by opening the app. There are some things... You'll find some free features here, and some paid features. I'm using the Pro version so I can explain everything to you. First, you'll find "Edit" and something called "Grid."
[01:37] We'll click on "Edit" and see what we can do. It's divided at the top into sections: Videos, do. It's divided at the top into sections: Videos, Images, and All. Let's try editing an image. Let's choose this image, for example. Here's the image, as you can see. You can use all these tools

Here, there's something called image quality. It starts by improving the image quality. So, if your phone's camera is weak, it will improve the

[03:08] image resolution is higher. See, it's like you took a photo with a professional camera. Of course, you can see the difference for yourself. If we choose the third level, it will go to a completely different level. There's something here called AI removal, the
[03:21] AI editor, the ratio. So, if you want this image for Instagram, for a you want this image for Instagram, for a story, for YouTube, each of these has dimensions, so it starts to find the appropriate dimensions for you according to the platform. If you want to customize

[04:23] templates. All these features are available. But let's move faster because the video is full of surprises. On the side, you'll find something called Grid. You can create an
[04:35] album here. For example, if I choose these images, it will create an album with the layouts you want, and you can edit them without any

[09:35] many things like stickers, templates, and more. The app is fantastic; I'll leave the link The app is fantastic; I'll leave the link in the description in the comments. Now let's move on to our second app, CapCat. CapCat has both free and
[09:49] paid features, but they've made a lot of things paid. However, it things paid. However, it remains one of the most powerful apps available. You can edit any video, whether long or short. First,
[10:06] click on "New Video," then select the video you want to work on. For example, I want to work on this video. Then, you start adding elements, and the
[10:18] this video. Then, you start adding elements, and the editing page opens. It has all the tools you need for professional-quality editing. If you want to split a part of the video, simply select the desired section and choose "

[11:58] effects, some free and some paid. For example, let's take this effect. See what happens? example, let's take this effect. See what happens? The video is playing. This is an effect or transition between scenes. Of course, I was using the CapCat app. I explained it before, and I'll leave the
[12:13] link in the description and the pinned comment. The great thing is that they added a lot of tools. great thing is that they added a lot of tools. There are retouching tools, image tools, and automatic enhancement. You can add automatic captions, and the
[12:26] text that appears on the screen will appear automatically. However, most of these tools are paid. There are also ready- made templates in the CupCat application. These are all ready-made templates, and you'll find them
[12:38] in both paid and free versions. You can use these templates. For example, if I want to use a template like this, I go to the template, click here on "Use Template," choose the image, and then

[13:04] copyright; we'll ignore it. So, these are the templates available in CupCat. But CupCat remains primarily an editing program, and they have also added a feature that allows you to
[13:18] create videos using artificial intelligence, but of course, this is a fully paid feature. The next app is the one everyone loves, the one content creators love, which is the Canva app. Let's take a
[13:30] everyone loves, the one content creators love, which is the Canva app. Let's take a look at the Canva app. This is the Canva app. I used the Canva app for a very long time for thumbnails, of course before AI and artificial intelligence. With the Canva app, you can create
[13:46] YouTube thumbnails, cover art, social media designs, videos, and whiteboards. You can design all of these things using Canva. For example, if you want to make a poster or a
[13:59] example, if you want to make a poster or a YouTube channel cover, you can simply type " YouTube channel cover, you can simply type " YouTube channel cover" here, search, and it will give you ready-made templates. You can then choose a template, and it's very simple: you change the
