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.

Zubtitle is a video captioning tool that helps creators add subtitles, headlines, and resize videos for social media.

About

Zubtitle

Zubtitle keeps it simple: your videos need captions, and most people watch with sound off anyway. Upload your video, let it transcribe, tweak the captions if needed, and choose from their pre-made styles. Throw in some headlines, progress bars, and resize for different platforms—done. It’s the no-nonsense approach to making your videos social-media ready with captions.

But here’s the thing—simple means simple. You won’t find cinematic transitions, layered b-roll, or more nuanced editing tools like fine trimming. It does captions and basic optimization, period. If that’s all you need, you’ll love how fast it is. If you’re chasing storytelling depth or a more polished final product, this probably won’t be your endgame editor.

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.

Very easy to use. You get two free video credits with their watermark. You have the option to upgrade straight away or you can trial it using the credits

It is very quick and easy to enhance our videos to a social media format, with headline and clear subtitles. I wish it was easier to change the colors.
