CapCut is a full-featured video editor for mobile and desktop, popular for its trendy effects, templates, and easy social sharing.

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.

Hypernatural is an AI tool that creates animated videos using AI voices and avatars, designed for marketers and educators.

About

Hypernatural

Hypernatural.ai lets you create animated videos without drawing a single frame. Type in your script, pick an avatar style, and watch it come to life with AI-generated voices and animations. It's perfect when you need engaging content but can't (or won't) get on camera. Think explainer videos, social posts, or anything where animated characters can do the talking for you.

But here's the reality check—AI avatars are still AI avatars. They might not capture the warmth of human performance, and your customization options are limited to what's in their library. Sometimes it can feel a bit... robotic? Great for certain use cases, but not if you need deep emotional connection. What's your priority: getting animated content fast, or having that human touch that really connects? For real human presence without being on camera, consider adding AI-generated B-roll and dynamic images to your videos instead.

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 was having trouble finding images on another app to portray the idea of images I had written a script, I found this app. It is so user-friendly and if I want to add my own stock photo or AI image, I have that ability and I’m extremely pleased. I have gotten so many compliments on my creations and this tool Hypernatural is to thank for being able to deliver reliable results of my creations.

Hands down the best AI video app I’ve ever experienced. I have been using it to create history videos for my channel and it has made the process so much faster and the videos are amazing and my subs have all my commenting how good my videos look.

As another user said it would be better to have a subscription that you pay monthly instead of having credits. Everytime you make a little change it uses credit. It gets really old a because AI cannot generate perfect images that make sense most of the time. For example I wrote a kid story about a squirrel the first images that got generate were a squirrel as the main character in other slides it was a human boy? Not relatable.
