Our review
CapCut is one of the most-used video editors in the world: auto captions, AI cutouts, text-to-video and a huge template library drive the barrier for short-video creation close to zero, with mature mobile and desktop apps.
Pro-level color grading and multi-track precision editing trail traditional NLEs, and more features keep moving behind the Pro plan. But for short-form creators, CapCut's speed and its TikTok-adjacent ecosystem make it the default choice.
