CapCut
Quick short-video editing with many AI features; read the terms before using it commercially.
A video editor with automatic captions, text-to-speech and AI background removal, available on desktop, web and mobile.
Overview
CapCut is a video editing app popular with short-form content creators. You can use the desktop version, the browser-based version or the mobile app, depending on how you work.
Beyond basic editing such as cutting, adding text, music and effects, CapCut includes many AI tools: automatic captions from speech, text-to-speech voices, background removal for images and video, plus a generator that creates video from text or images and a library of ready-made templates.
For small businesses, CapCut is an accessible way to produce product intro videos, ads and TikTok or Reels content in-house without a dedicated video team.

Real-world example
A handmade pottery workshop in Bat Trang wants to sell via TikTok but has no video editor. The owner films the process of making a vase on a phone, brings it into CapCut to trim it to a clip under a minute, adds automatic captions and corrects a few wrong words, then inserts an AI voiceover describing the material and how to order. Each week the workshop can post several videos regularly with just one person in charge.
Tips & notes
Always review automatic captions
Product names, brands and local words are easily misrecognized, so read them over before exporting.
Put the key message in the first few seconds
Short videos are scrolled past quickly; lead with the product benefit or an attention-grabbing question.
Save your own brand template
Reuse the same fonts, caption colors and an ending with your logo so the channel looks professional and consistent.
Check rights to music and assets
When running ads, read CapCut's terms for music and effects carefully to avoid content being taken down.
