CapCut
CapCut is a photo and video editor with AI tools for generating videos, avatars, images, designs and voiceovers, aimed at social and marketing content.
About this tool
CapCut is a widely used editor for short-form video and images, available online and in apps. Around the classic editing timeline it adds AI tools: a video generator that works from text, images or keyframes, an AI image generator, automatic layouts for social posts and covers, and text to speech with natural-sounding voices for narration.
Its AI video generation relies on the Seedance models. CapCut offers more than 100 digital avatars and lets you clone your own avatar from a short recording to produce voiceover content without filming again, plus templates for formats such as news updates or educational clips. Paid plans use credits, and generation is priced per second of video, with cheaper lower-resolution options.
