CapCut is ByteDance’s video editor, built for social media. It runs on mobile, on desktop and in the browser.
Who it’s for
Short-form creators who post often and want captioned, well-paced videos without spending hours on them.
What it does well
- Automatic captions: accurate in many languages, with trendy animated styles.
- Templates: trending edits ready to fill with your own footage.
- Auto reframe: a horizontal video becomes vertical while keeping the subject centered.
Limitations
The most useful AI features (advanced background removal, voices, effects) require the Pro subscription.
Alternatives
Descript for talking-head videos, Pictory to start from a text.
