CapCut

CapCut is a video and photo editing platform aimed at creators making content for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Its core AI feature, AI Auto-Edit, takes raw footage plus a short text description and automatically selects clips, applies transitions and color correction, levels audio, and assembles a finished edit through scene recognition and speech transcription. Other AI tools cover text-to-speech, auto-captioning, background removal for both video and photos, image and video upscaling, and an AI Script-to-Video feature that turns a written script into a draft video with suggested visuals and voiceover. CapCut is built for a broad range of users, from casual social media posters to marketers and professional content creators, and its effects library includes tens of thousands of templates, transitions, and motion graphics with AI-driven recommendations based on content type and platform. It runs as a web-based online editor, desktop apps for Windows and Mac, and mobile apps for iOS and Android, and it integrates AI models including Dreamina Seedance and Google's Gemini for some of its generation features. The free tier gives access to the full editor and most AI tools, with the paid plan mainly raising export resolution and generation limits. One limitation is that CapCut's own site does not mention a public developer API, so the platform is not built for programmatic or third-party integration.
