Simple but sophisticated, the short-form video editor CapCut is crammed with impressive effects to help anyone create bite-size clips for social.

What we love: Superimposing almost anything onto your video – green-screen effects, bold text, vibrant backgrounds – with CapCut’s easy overlay tool. For voice-overs, the app cleans up all your “ums” and “uhs,” and it can turn text into natural-sounding narration with AI-generated voices such as a radio announcer or an ASMR-style whisper.
