Kapwing is my secret weapon!

PROS

This is one of the most powerful, yet inexpensive and easy-to-use video editing software I've found. It can be glitchy at times, but the value is out of this world. I blow my team away with how fast and efficiently I can edit and turnaround video projects.

CONS

The layers, fonts, and texts seem to change sometimes when you go to render your video which is horribly frustrating but support is pretty quick to respond.

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

Cost and usability. I'm not a professional video creator, I just need to edit videos from time to time.

Kapwing Is King

When I use this software, I feel all sorts of creative juices flowing because of how jam-packed with features the software really is. A very well-made product that will keep you enticed for hours.

PROS

Removing the background from an image is what I use this software for primarily. It has so many more features that I occasionally dabble into, so its versatile like that. I highly recommend it.

CONS

There are no cons. This software is golden, I mean you can go as far as to making memes on it amongst other things. So no, I don't see any drawbacks from using it. You'd be doing yourself a favor.

Reason for choosing Kapwing

Kapwing has the ability to add way more video filters than Vegas Pro so I gave it a shot and was very impressed with the end result.

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

I couldn't resize my video aspect ratio appropriately through Pinnacle so I went looking for an alternative.

Kapwing can save you time with adding video subtitles

Kapwing has potential, and its feels the team of it is working on it with love and I believe its can get better In any way it can save you significant time in positioning the subtitles in your video and this is my main use with the tool, it is better to edit the video in professional software and use Kapwing as an add-on to the subtitles job.

PROS

*The tool helps to create subtitles for a video automatically, with AI it detects the words of the person in the video and writes what he is saying, and it can be done with several languages including automatic translation into a different language from the one heard in the video. but you still have to check the subtitles boxes and fix the mistakes of the AI, any way it saves you time with the subtitles placing job on the video timeline. *when you export a video it optimizes nicely the file size. *you can download and upload srt file easily and apply it to the video.

CONS

*There are still some bugs especially with long videos you can suffer from not saving work with the subtitles or some subtitle parts that just disappear and it can cause double work, until it fixes I protect my work with downloading the srt file and upload it. *Sometimes the editing tools there feel basic and messy compared to the familiar editing software, it is difficult to cut a specific in your video.

Just get Kapwing and actually get your content out there

It's incredible. So happy to be able to push forward with our content strategy.

PROS

Kapwing is hands down the most important thing to happen to me within video. It took me from giving up on creating content, to actually getting things out into the world once every two weeks - they just make it so much easier to put out polished videos without a lot of time / work / technical knowledge.

CONS

Some of the really heavyweight features in premiere are not in Kapwing. But frankly I don't know how to use them anyway and all they are is a block to me getting content out there.

Reason for choosing Kapwing

Ease of use and built in AI to make creation simple and streamlined

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

I could not actually get through editing videos in Premiere

CONS

I don't have any complaints at this time

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

Kapwing has more options for video editing and other types of assets

Waste of Money Doesn't Work and No Refunds

It was terrible. I bought the software to help increase my productivity and output a better product.That was further from the reality. I wasted an entire day and never got a final product. When I purchased another product and completed everything within an hour.

PROS

The silence remover and the audio enhancer

CONS

How nothing worked and was never able to export my project.

Reason for choosing Kapwing

It had an all in one ability.

Personalize Your Videos with Kapwing

Very good - especially since I was able to do what I needed in terms of adding captions to existing videos right away. Several of the recent updates will allow me to expand what I'm doing with my videos and easily make them more uniform and branded.

PROS

Very easy to upload existing videos for editing and adding captions. It's possible to create a video background for an audio only recording that can easily be uploaded and shared to YouTube.

CONS

Like most software these days, it starts very clean and simple and then the designers add more and more features. This is both good and bad. Good because some of the features are useful for my business. Bad because it makes what was a simple and clean process more complicated.

Reason for choosing Kapwing

The free version does a lot. I like to test software before I purchase it to make sure that it is easy to use, improves my workflow, and will add value to my operations before investing.

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

Kapwing does more things that fit my business. Dubb was more sales focused.

Very useful tool to quickly transform your videos into shorts. Time saving and easy to use. Free version available. I recommend it.

The picture quality is a bit worse than the original

AN EARLY REVIEW OF KAPWING

I use it primarily to create versions of my original photographs to suit Instagram's aspect ratio limitations without undesirable cropping. I am retired from business and so Kapwing's free option is very important to me - It enables me to remain creative. Kapwing technical support and response is very good and the user feels that they care and that you are not abandoned after they have created their software as is the case with some app developers.

PROS

I particularly like its straightforward interface and that also that my images are not spoilt by Kapwing credits - In gratitude I always credit #kapwing on social media and recommend it to others.

CONS

It can be a bit clunky when uploading an image and Tool Tips would make it much easier. My learning curve has mostly been by experiment! After uploading an image it often doesn't automatically show for selection in my Workspace and consequently can be difficult to find.

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

I hate having advertising attached to my images - It's up to me and me alone who I choose to promote! Also, the methods were tedious - I have a desktop Mac as well as iPhone and iPad but do all my creative 'work' on my desktop. I use Flume which allows me to post to Instagram directly from my 27-inch desktop. Why would I want to fiddle about on a small screen?

Kapwing makes simple video tasks even simpler!

My overall experience with Kapwing has been great! I'll definitely use it again for personal projects!

PROS

Kapwing is pure genius. It takes a number of small, easy video tasks, and makes them easier. No need to download software just to reverse or resize a video. This service does it online for free (with a watermark)! These tools include trimming, looping, resizing, reversing, rotating, and converting video, among other functions. I used Kapwing once when I needed to reverse a video for a visual effect. After looking through the basic video editing software I had installed on my computer and finding that none had the feature, I tried Kapwing and it worked like a charm.

CONS

As stated above, you have to endure a watermark unless you want to pay for the service. That being said, it's a small price to pay for such a great service! Furthermore, the creators really do deserve to get paid for their work.

The ultimate social media toolkit

My experience with Kapwing has grown from strength to strength as the product has added more features and functionality, making the work I do in social media management so much easier.

PROS

Kapwing provides all the essential tools for creating engaging social media content, in one place. The most helpful tool within the product for me has been the resizing tool, which allows me to optimize the crop of my content for different platforms. It also gives me the option to export in GIF or MP4 for video-based content which saves me so many additional steps to export in other tools.

CONS

There are SO many different features, sometimes you have to look a little longer to find what you are looking for.

Reasons for switching to Kapwing

nicer user interface, so many fewer steps to get the same outcomes, great support content from kapwing
