About
CapCut
CapCut is TikTok’s editing sidekick, packed with free tools and viral-ready features. It works on both mobile and desktop, offering trendy effects, a massive music and sound library, and AI tools like auto-cutting, background noise removal, and those bold animated captions you see all over your feed. It’s fast, intuitive, and built to keep pace with the rhythm of social media.
But let’s be real—it’s made for short-form content. You won’t find deep color grading, multi-cam editing, or timeline finesse you'd expect in something like Premiere. And since it’s backed by ByteDance, folks with privacy concerns might raise an eyebrow. Some features also rely on a live internet connection, which can slow things down. That said, for quick-turn clips, reels, and TikToks, it delivers exactly what today’s creators need—fast, fun, and optimized for scroll-stopping content.

Zubtitle
Zubtitle is a video captioning tool that helps creators add subtitles, headlines, and resize videos for social media.
About
Zubtitle
Zubtitle keeps it simple: your videos need captions, and most people watch with sound off anyway. Upload your video, let it transcribe, tweak the captions if needed, and choose from their pre-made styles. Throw in some headlines, progress bars, and resize for different platforms—done. It’s the no-nonsense approach to making your videos social-media ready with captions.
But here’s the thing—simple means simple. You won’t find cinematic transitions, layered b-roll, or more nuanced editing tools like fine trimming. It does captions and basic optimization, period. If that’s all you need, you’ll love how fast it is. If you’re chasing storytelling depth or a more polished final product, this probably won’t be your endgame editor.

I'm not sure why people don't like it, but it's a very good editing app that isn't a "scam." You may need to pay for a subscription for some features, but I think it's worth it for the price. For example, I pay 50 dollars a year for it, and it's awesome.

Revised! I just went ahead and purchased Pro. So far big improvement. I really detest the way I got here. But I have to say working cross platform so far seems ok. I will revisit UX once I have used for a bit. I am improving rating to 4 stars. Saved me a fair amount of time.

I finally paid, as you could almost do nothing, as everything was on Pro, NOW I am battling to get an invoice from them, useless after sales service, Still after emails and bot chat!!!!!!! NO INVOICE

Very easy to use. You get two free video credits with their watermark. You have the option to upgrade straight away or you can trial it using the credits

The ease of use for Zubtitle is incomparable. And trust me, I have made some comparisons.

It is very quick and easy to enhance our videos to a social media format, with headline and clear subtitles. I wish it was easier to change the colors.

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI clip maker work?
An AI clip maker scans long-form videos or podcasts using artificial intelligence to automatically identify the most engaging moments, then slices them into short clips with captions, animations, and transitions. It's a powerful way to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
One thing to note is that an AI clip generator is not necessarily an AI video generator.
Can AI-generated videos be monetized on YouTube?
Yes, as long as your AI-generated videos follow YouTube's monetization guidelines and add original value—like commentary, visuals, or voiceovers—you can absolutely monetize them. AI tools help you create faster, but your creativity is still the magic ingredient.
How do I add a text-to-speech voiceover?
Most AI video editors have a text-to-speech option built in—just type your script, choose your AI voice, and click generate. It’s an easy way to add professional voiceovers to explainer videos, product demos, or tutorials without recording anything yourself.
How does text-to-video AI work?
Text-to-video AI turns written text prompts into fully edited video content—complete with visuals, animations, subtitles, and voiceovers. It automates video production so creators can go from script to video clips in minutes instead of hours.
How to switch the AI Avatar’s voice category?
Most AI avatar tools have voice categories based on tone or language—you just head to the voice settings and pick a different category (like professional, energetic, or friendly). It’s like casting the perfect voice actor, but instantly.
What are the top AI tools for generating video clips?
Top AI tools like Submagic, Pictory, and Descript make it incredibly easy to generate short clips from long-form content. They handle captions, visuals, templates, and even AI voiceovers—ideal for creators repurposing webinars, podcasts, or YouTube content into snackable, engaging videos for social media platforms.
