Kapwing
Kapwing is a collaborative online video editor with a drag-and-drop timeline, AI video generation from prompts and automatic subtitles for teams.
About this tool
Kapwing is a browser-based video editor built around collaboration. Its drag-and-drop timeline handles trimming, combining clips and overlays, and teammates can comment and edit in the same project. The company says tens of millions of creators have used it, and it targets marketing teams, internal communications, educators and individual creators.
Its AI layer can turn a text prompt into an original video project with a script, voiceover, visuals, music and subtitles, all placed on editable layers rather than delivered as a flat file. Automatic subtitling is metered in minutes per month on paid plans. Templates and fast exports help teams keep campaigns consistent and hand assets off without breaking brand standards.
What you can do
Shared timeline
A drag-and-drop editor with overlays and comments lets several people work on the same video project.
Prompt to video
A text prompt becomes a layered project with script, voiceover, visuals, music and subtitles that remain editable.
Auto-subtitling
Speech is transcribed into subtitles, with monthly minute allowances that rise on higher plans.
Templates
Reusable templates speed up recurring formats such as social posts and internal updates.
Who is it for?
- An internal communications team publishes a weekly video update with subtitles for every office.
- A teacher assembles a short explainer video and shares it with the class.
- A marketing team drafts a campaign video from a prompt, then refines it together.
Before you choose
The free plan limits export length and adds a watermark, so test with real project lengths before committing.
Generative features consume credits beyond what each plan includes; check the current allowance if you plan heavy AI use.
Frequently asked questions
