About Kapwing

Kapwing is a video editor that runs in the browser and is aimed at creative teams, marketers, internal communications staff, educators and content creators. Its AI can generate a first draft from a prompt, building a project with multiple layers, timing and sound that you then edit.

It includes templates, quick exports and collaboration features for handing off assets and keeping brand content consistent. There is a free way to start editing, with paid plans and demos for organisations.

Strengths

  • Generates a layered draft project from a prompt

Limitations

  • Requires an internet connection
