CapCut
CapCut (ByteDance)
Best for: Video & Animation for people who want a checked, free option.
CapCut is the editor behind most short-form video: timeline editing with templates, auto-captions, text-to-speech, background removal, and generative AI tools for images and video, across desktop, web, and mobile.
The free tier covers basic editing tools and free templates. Pro (regional pricing; a 7-day trial needs no card) unlocks AI features, premium templates, cloud storage (1TB), and monthly AI credits (1,200 on Pro, 8,645 on Ultra).
It fits social-video creators who want one editor across phone and desktop with AI conveniences built in, not bolted on.
To begin, install or open capcut.com and cut one real video; the free path handles a complete edit.
The honest limits. Generative features and premium templates consume credits or need Pro; ByteDance account terms apply. Not used first-hand; confirm at capcut.com.
