dude i’m honestly so tired of hearing the “there’s only a few fonts on capcut” like okay, and?? you guys really think that gives you a free pass to literally copy someone else’s entire editing style? layla’s edits aren’t just about the fonts she uses. it’s everything, timing, pacing, color choices, overlays, textures, the way she builds a style from start to finish. it’s unique, and it’s her signature. if all you notice is a font, you’re already proving that you don’t actually get what she’s doing. saying “well capcut is limited” doesn’t justify straight-up copying someone else’s technique. you could give ten different editors the same app, the same fonts, and even the same music, and they’ll all make completely different things. it’s not the tools that make the work, it’s how you use them. and when someone chooses to imitate what’s trending just because they want the same recognition, that’s not inspiration. that’s imitation, plain and simple, and we should call it out. and then there’s the whole “creators are just being dramatic” argument. no, we’re not being dramatic. you just don’t know what it’s like to take time and creativity into something, make it your signature, and then have people copy it without credit like it’s nothing. and then those same people act annoyed when the original creator speaks up? that’s straight-up disrespectful and honestly kind of wild behavior. editors deserve to feel safe sharing their work without worrying someone’s gonna rip it off. this isn’t about gatekeeping or being “exclusive.” it’s about respecting originality. using the same app as someone else doesn’t mean you get to replicate their style frame by frame. and if you genuinely can’t tell the difference between using the same tools and copying someone’s exact aesthetic, maybe it’s time to step back and reflect on your own creativity. inspiration and copying are two completely different things. you can take ideas and make them your own, but straight-up copying someone else’s work isn’t creative, it’s just imitation. at the end of the day, inspiration is one thing. mimicking someone’s signature style and pretending it’s your own is another. let’s respect the people who put in the work to create something unique instead of acting like creativity is just a free-for-all font library. and people who don’t even edit dont have the right to hate. like, how can you criticize someone’s work if you’ve never actually made anything yourself? it doesn’t make sense to act like an expert when you’ve never done it.

!! Yes I completely agree with you at the part where you said art tracers and edit style stealers (?) fall in the same category, yes everyone takes inspiration but there’s a line to that, will be sharing

I’m not here to piss you off, I don’t want to take any digs at you. But calling a ton of people thieves and then saying anyone who wants to debate that is part of the problem is not a valid way to make an argument. And if you’re not making an argument, don’t call people thieves. Here’s my case: Being inspired is in no way stealing. People have been remaking others edits for about as long as I’ve watched them. And while it’s preferable to tag it as “remake” or “inspired by” the creator has no rights over the original edit, it’s not their intellectual property (unless they wrote the song and made the clips/pictures themselves) but I do think its good to create a culture where we respect that even if it’s not required. So in that case, teaching yourself how to do a transition that someone else did in an edit completely different to yours is not even close to stealing. Using the same font as someone is not stealing. I do agree that a lot of people have really similar editing styles, but that’s a result of most people using unpaid CapCut which is very limited. Essentially, I don’t think you need to attack people with under 1k subs because their video looks similar to someone with (is it 11k?) anyway, if you disagree, that’s fine. But anyone can recognize that your post has an aggressive tone.

Ngl I do think her editing style is kinda common since some maybe a lot of people are copying her?? idk apparently. I really thought it was a common style for genshin editors in general not Laylas but I guess it is hers that people are taking……but she’s making it less common with those shapes transitions and making her style more advanced so it will make it harder for some to copy :D

Well to be fair, I both agree and disagree (no offense aeri 😭) tbh I agree that, and it's probably what you meant by copying, if someone uses the same clips, fonts, graphs etc as someone did in another edit then yes IT IS an issue and outright stealing. Though to be fair, I don't think one can be qualified as stealer if they have the same font and few graphs/transitions as someone else. Taking Layla as an example, I also use the circle transition and white and colored text yet I cannot say I copied her because it doesn't look the same at all so that wouldn't be called stealing which is I think what you meant. Yet as capcut not pro is widely used, a lot of edits look similar even if the editors never saw one another's edits before. Said effect is even more visible on TikTok, people will experiment to see what works with their style or not and yes, it happens that a few "leading styles/trends" will work better and end up with people having similar styles without necessarily copying whether it's because of how they evolve or because of the limitations or predispositions of the app. Although I totally agree on the fact that copying an ENTIRE edit idea is wrong or purposefully copying someone's way of making edits is wrong, it is fair to point out that a font, a coloring or graphs won't be "special" or cannot be claimed by you only because, unless someone steals overlays you made yourself, these features are available to anyone and someone is likely to have a similar style before you even did yours

hi! so i just want to say i COMPLETELY agree with your argument. stealing someone’s style is never okay, and yk the other stuff. but some, i mean most, editors who aren’t trying to copy layla’s style still gets accused of “copying” her by her fans. for example nameless melody. she tries a lot to not have the same editing style as layla and it’s obvious who’s layla and who’s not, right? but still. layla’s fans will just accuse them of copying. so the problem here is her fanbase. my friend who has their own editing style received death threats from layla’s fans because she was apparently “copying layla.” i do think layla is a great person but i also think she should be addressing her fans and like at least try to make them stop. (gah sorry if this sounds weird i just woke up 💔

What's also normalized, however, is SAYING someone stole their style. If someone copies a TINY bit of someone else's style should not be called a knock off rice or something around those lines. This is unacceptable though, stealing their WHOLE entire style doesn't make you an actual editor. Seeing the things Layla has been going thru looking at comments shouldn't be happening at all. I will admit, I have gotten inspired by Layla's editing style, and I use some of the fonts she does and things, but honestly, I would never try to copy her completely. Everyone should have their own style and not just copy someone else's. Yes, Layla does NOT own fonts, but NO, that does NOT mean in ANY WAY that it gives you permission to steal what she does with her text. If her style really is seen everywhere, be reminded of something; IT'S HER STYLE. I doubt she gave permission for anyone to copy her at ALL. So you aren't any better than the copiers you see of- and I'm going to emphansize this- HER STYLE.

I feel so bad, it is NEVER okay to steal or copy someone’s edit style! Sure you can maybe take inspiration but there’s a fine line between copying and inspo. Editors spend a lot of time and effort finding an editing style that they love and that suits them, I can’t imagine how I’d feel if people consistently stole the style I worked hard to create.

I kinda see your point. I really don’t like how when someone gets really popular they start getting hated for their style because some think it’s “basic”. I also don’t like tracers and copiers, especially those who disregard the creators they are taking from. However, I don’t really think people who have very similar styles are “thieves”. Sure, inspiration is allowed but stealing is an absolute no. The people who say “I see Layla’s style everywhere”are basically the people who think that specific style of editing belongs to Layla, like she owns it. I get her style is very unique even though it’s not my personal taste, it’s still unique nonetheless and even though I don’t like it as much I also cannot hate on it. There’s a difference between not liking something and full blown hating. I also really don’t like how when someone tries to get inspiration off big creators people just use those small creators and turn them into an insult to hate on that big creator. So that’s just my personal opinion on those people. Now, moving onto stealing. Stealing the entire edit and claiming it’s yours is just a big no. That would prove your lack of creativity and how inconsiderate you are. If people do take a heavy inspiration it is indeed very important to credit the creator you were inspired from. If you take small inspirations like transitions and allat to incorporate into your edits, that is okay. Things like transitions are not trademarked by anyone, and please don’t assume it is from someone who’s popular and utilizes it. To my perspective as a decently good artist an editing style should be more compared to art style rather than an art piece. As for what your post is about, it’s people hating and stealing Layla’s editing style, right? (correct me if I’m wrong, my brain often tries to process things in what it thinks is most logical). However, I feel that this comparison isn’t very good because in the art community a vast majority of styles are very similar. No one really calls out others just for having a similar art style because when we take inspiration from other artists we tend to naturally take on their style of art, however not entirely copy. It’s difficult to find how you do something without looking up at others. I love their style, I want to draw like that also applies in editing, it’s the chain of people who take inspiration but also eventually develop their own sense of style. A big creator’s style is a seed for someone else, because we look up to them. We all learn from someone we look up to, we also want to be like them. So that’s just my message for the small creators who tend to use Layla’s style a little bit. I’m not trying to say taking an entire style and using it is okay, I’m just saying using someone’s editing style as an inspiration and trying to grow out of it is good. I don’t hate people whose art looks like mine, because I knew it was shown to people to take inspo off of. For example, my traditional art piece was used as inspiration for other people, and I did see a lot of art pieces that had a similar concept but didn’t look exactly like mine. Similar way it was drawn, but still different in other aspects. Nonetheless, I still hate people who shit on Layla because of her editing style and those who steal the entire edit. Now I’m genuinely sorry if this pisses you off, I’m just trying to communicate my thoughts on what you said. I have no ill intention nor have anything against Layla, I really admire her a lot. And I’m very sorry if my response is entirely off track from your point, that is my fault for not understanding. Otherwise, I have nothing more to say and please take care of yourself <3 edit: because this is so long I must’ve misunderstood something

But tbh I love Layla but ppl who use her fonts and kinda her style aren’t wrong, where do the ppl who stumble on Layla’s fonts and use them go? Would you say they’re wrong? And ppl who take Layla’s style “completely” as long as they don’t take the idea, they’re fine. With a bit of credit of course. But tbh it’s not like Layla’s style is trademarked and copyrighted. Anyone who wants to learn editing and try’s laylas transitions are not wrong. This post feels like it’s saying that that entire style is Layla’s. But if I want to use her fonts, I kinda think it’s odd that you guys have to stop me just cuz she did it first. For small creators this is just mean. Eventually the good editors will find their own styles but as long as you don’t screen record the edit, I don’t see what’s wrong. As you compared it to “tracing art” I don’t rly like this comparison. Because an editing style is more like the concept of the art, for example pixel art or whatever. But tracing, that’s taking the whole edit. So anyways this isn’t hate, just my opinion

It's never okay to copy someone's editing style. If you ever want to do something similar, just ask the editor! Ask, for example, "Can I use that star transition you do?" And if they say no, just don't do it. My personal editing style is INSPIRED by MANY editors, and that's how it's MINE. I didn't go to one creator and copy their edits, I took parts from the style I noticed was interesting and played around with it in settings!

NO REAL, I feel mine and her styles are kinda similar, but I try to differentiate them. I have seen people do her EXACT transitions and it’s annoying. I liked her zooms, so I took inspiration but made them less intense, people need to learn the difference in inspiration and copying

This is so sad to see in all honesty. Hypocrites will do anything to hate on popular creators.. it’s genuinely irritating. If someone can recognize someone else’s style in your edit.. then you’re stealing someone else’s style. I’ve seen this with people copying Rose’s style which genuinely scares me. I mistaken certain edits as Rose’s simply because it looks too similar. Where is the creativity in the editing space? Like hello?

im not trying to harass anyone, but honestly idk what to say. when i first saw your edits, you looked mature enough and your edits were decent. your edits are still good, but im really questioning the mature part now. hello? there is something called "inspiration?" there are people here who just want to edit in peace, meanwhile you're here saying any sort of taking inspo from someones style is going to lead to reposting or stealing? i'm not an editor myself, but i definitely think you're overreacting about this. there ARE watermarks for a reason. i'm not saying i support the idea of stealing, but honestly there is no point in this post at all. justice for the person who typed out a whole paragraph, they definitely have the right idea..

難 ִ ┆𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐌𝐑𝐘𝐗 .ᐟ
Hello! So, to the people saying how "@EmergencyLayla 's style is just common!" or "Layla's fonts are basic and she doesn't own them!" OR even "You can see Layla's style everywhere!!" Have you ever stopped to think why is that is because she's POPULAR??? I hope y'all realize you're literally just stealing her style and it's honestly annoying. It's supporting small creators, but up until what point? They start actually stealing the edit? I hope y'all realize that stealing an editing style is quite literally the art equivalent of tracing someone's art and calling it yours. You're disgusted by tracers, but you aren't disgusted by people who copy edits? How ironic is that? They're two sides of the same coin. Leave Layla and her editing style alone, you all are botching it or you're just trying to be her. This applies also to other editors whose styles have been stolen time and time again to the POINT where it's normalized. Taking a style should never be normalized, EVER. If you're one of the people stealing someone's style, you disgust me. You're the reason why people can't share their art, their edits; they're afraid that it'll be stolen. It's truly not that hard to find your own editing style if you actually try. Feel free to share this if you want!
(P.S. If you're going to be one of the people saying how I'm overexaggerating or whatever stupid hate comment you can think of, you're part of the problem.)
