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.

Trint is an AI transcription platform for journalists and researchers that converts audio and video to searchable, editable text.

About

Trint

Trint turns your audio and video into searchable, editable text—fast. Journalists love it because they can search hours of interviews for that one quote. The collaborative features mean teams can work on transcripts together, and you can export captions or even create basic video edits from the text. It's about making spoken content as easy to work with as a Google Doc.

But let's be clear—this isn't Final Cut Pro. The video features are secondary to the transcription powers. You can make rough cuts based on text, but you're not adding visual effects or doing color correction. It's a transcription platform with some video tricks, not a video editor with transcription. What's your main need: working with spoken content or creating visual stories? For full video production with transcription, combine automatic transcription with comprehensive editing tools and social media caption generation.

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.

Excellent customer support!! Was speaking with Olga who was very helpful and speedy in getting back to me. The issue had nothing to do with Trint itself, but an ex-employee of ours and Olga was quick to help and got it sorted.

We are a small company with a TRINT license - we were on a one year subscription - which we didn't use - for £3600. We emailed the company informing them that the sub ended at the end of Jan 2025 - back in May. We have now been told we haven't given 60 days notice to cancel - and they are now trying to charge £2000 for a product we don't use. Shocking customer service.
