About
CapCut
CapCut is TikTok’s editing sidekick, packed with free tools and viral-ready features. It works on both mobile and desktop, offering trendy effects, a massive music and sound library, and AI tools like auto-cutting, background noise removal, and those bold animated captions you see all over your feed. It’s fast, intuitive, and built to keep pace with the rhythm of social media.
But let’s be real—it’s made for short-form content. You won’t find deep color grading, multi-cam editing, or timeline finesse you'd expect in something like Premiere. And since it’s backed by ByteDance, folks with privacy concerns might raise an eyebrow. Some features also rely on a live internet connection, which can slow things down. That said, for quick-turn clips, reels, and TikToks, it delivers exactly what today’s creators need—fast, fun, and optimized for scroll-stopping content.

About
Captions
Captions.ai is built to make your talking-head videos shine—think animated, attention-grabbing subtitles that actually match your tone. The platform lets you style your captions to match your brand and uses speech recognition that nails what you're saying (even if you're mid-rant). Beyond captions, it's got a few AI tricks up its sleeve, like subtly adjusting your eye contact and applying background noise removal so you sound studio-clean without needing a studio.
But here’s the thing—it’s purpose-built for the talk-to-camera crowd. It’s not trying to be a full editing suite, and that’s by design. You won’t be stitching together cinematic sequences or layering on fancy transitions, and it doesn’t dabble much in visual storytelling with things like b-roll. It’s more of a specialist—like the caption stylist and sound engineer rolled into one. So if your workflow is all about delivering strong face-to-camera content, Captions.ai could be exactly what your videos need.

I'm not sure why people don't like it, but it's a very good editing app that isn't a "scam." You may need to pay for a subscription for some features, but I think it's worth it for the price. For example, I pay 50 dollars a year for it, and it's awesome.
Revised! I just went ahead and purchased Pro. So far big improvement. I really detest the way I got here. But I have to say working cross platform so far seems ok. I will revisit UX once I have used for a bit. I am improving rating to 4 stars. Saved me a fair amount of time.
I finally paid, as you could almost do nothing, as everything was on Pro, NOW I am battling to get an invoice from them, useless after sales service, Still after emails and bot chat!!!!!!! NO INVOICE

Every time - EVERY DAMN TIME! - I export a video from Captions the audio goes out of sync. It's very frustrating and makes a simple job extremely complicated
Sound goes out of sync with images when you export
software worked fine initially then rendered captions but deleted video. Reached out to so called customer service..rep had no idea how to address the issue
