They draw you in with the "free" and basic membership. After spending hours creating content, they refuse to allow you to download your project unless you upgrade to paying over $100 for annual subscription.

Kapwing will waste your time

I was editing a video, first of all its slow it took me like 4 hours to make that video and as soon as i go to export it "video file too big please upgrade to pro"
literally a 6 minute video but ok.

Easy, powerful, fast

Has a ton of control in the timeline. You can add keyframes or choose from Custom Animations. I also like the new "Repurpose Video" button which helps you make short-form videos from long-from webinars, recordings, and interview footage. Overall, this is my go-to tool for making short-form video content.

Superb for Subtitles

I use Kapwing for subtitling. It is brilliant. It transcribes audio as accurately as any other program I've used (e.g Otter or Descript). It converts dialogue into subtitles timed to the dialogue with a few clicks. Learning to use the subtitle function took only a few hours. Its performance is supple and sophisticated. Once you get the hang of it, you can easily tweak the timing, as well as the appearance of your subtitles. Added bonus: highly responsive customer service.

I am an experienced content creator

I am an experienced content creator, and this app deserves a bit more recognition. Falls on the more intuitive side but still requires a little bit of research. Great AI video assistance but could use more in the stock footage library. Nevertheless, it simplifies processes and allows creators to move quickly.

I have been using Kapwing for some time…

I have been using Kapwing for some time and will be canceling my membership soon. It started out as a good online app a few years ago. Now it is getting worse. Recently, I've been having problems with editing scenes and moving. When you delete part of a scene, it automatically moves the rest, or when I move a scene, it just closes the gap. Or when you try and move a scene it never lets you move it to the place it says it will. There are a lot of bugs. They keep making these update videos about great improvements and additions, but I haven't seen any. I need a non-online app going forward but I cannot recommend this app anymore.

A teleprompter!

I used Kapwing for editing and subtitling quite a number of videos: I took some to get used to it and especially the subtitling proved has improved significantly in the last two years.
Today I used it as a tool to record an audio file for a podcast. Very nice feature: it his an inbuild teleprompter!

Powerful, really easy to use

Powerful, really easy to use, AI-powered video editing software with a host of really useful features. I love it. Much easier to use than some of the 'professional' software. It gets the job done superfast and is an integral part of my video marketing. I hope they keep adding features though as the market evolves.

I enjoy using kapwing a lot

I enjoy using kapwing a lot. It is easy to use. I really hope the referral/ affiliate program is coming back because I've been promoting this to a lot of my friends and students. :)

Occasionally there are some little bugs here and there, but overall it has been wonderful to use.

What I wish to have (maybe they have it but i haven't discover it yet):
- funky expression. Like, in comic books, there are those "kapow" expression and such. That would be lovely to have. e.g. when I say "I'm sad", at least i could put in the tears flowing from my cheeks.
- also funky sounds linked to those expressions.

That would be perfect. Nonetheless, create professional videos have been fun.

Subtitle could be Better

Sir This new update is a savior. the subtitle option are now more customized and far better then previous version. but still i cant change the middle word of a Sentence. Example - "Jonas is a GREAT man" I cant highlight the word Great. and now days this a trending subtitle. If i forget this mistake then, all is good

An affordable and powerful video editor.

I've been using Kapwing for sometime now to produce videos for social media and I'm loving it so far. I especially like how easy it is to edit videos and integrates memes into the video. Also, the automatic subtitle generator feature in Kapwing is a big one for me as it would be tedious manually entering caption. The fact that I can produce videos for the different social media platfroms using this software made it a no-brainer as well.
I look forward to leveraging the video recorder feature for future projects.
I strongly recommend this to any content creator looking for an affordable and powerful video editor.

cash-strapped

cash-strapped, just need to collate three vids for product review. Works OK so far... the setup is good enough for medium editing no fancy splicing or trick shots..

Most intuitive and rich video editor and subtitling tool for non video editors

I've been with Kapwing for a couple of years now, after doing a full evaluation of video editing tools. It's come a long way even in those 2 years and now has key frames, transcripts and subtitles which I can also automatically translate into more than a dozen languages (very useful for Youtubers). I like the minimal learning curve as I juggle with more than a dozen systems for my work and as a non-graphics person, it helps make my videos look so much better. Transitions are intuitive with great previews and there are lots of effects to make your work more eye catching on social media. I also love being able to repurpose content from Youtube for other platforms and customize subtitles to be branded. The brand palette is fantastic, another recent feature, so I can create a consistent look across platforms. If you are stuck, help is responsive and I have chatted to the team a few times to give feedback. It's a company that actually listens and makes changes based on user feedback. To those who complain about a monthly fee, subtitling tools and other video editors only does a fraction of this tool: it is an all-in-one video editor, video repurposing, and subtitling tool. The Kapwing team are constantly rolling out improvements and new features and that requires people, time and money so, yes, I am happy to pay a monthly fee. Excellent work Kapwing team!
