CapCut - Video Editor for Android

What CapCut is for

CapCut - Video Editor is an Android app from Bytedance Pte. Ltd. for editing video clips, adding visual and audio elements, and preparing finished videos to share. It includes tools for quick edits as well as more detailed work on a multi-track timeline.

It may suit people making short videos for platforms such as TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, as well as anyone who wants to trim and combine clips or add captions, effects, and sound.

Editing tools and practical uses

• Arrange clips: trim, split, and merge footage, then preview and organise clips on a multi-track timeline. Speed controls, speed curves, freeze, and transitions can help shape the pace of a video.
• Fine-tune footage: use keyframe animation for changes over time, stabilisation for shaky footage, slow-motion tools, or chroma key to remove a selected colour.
• Add text and speech features: create automatic captions, add and adjust subtitles, use text-to-speech, or choose from fonts and text templates.
• Change the look and background: apply filters and effects, adjust brightness or contrast, use motion tracking, or remove a video background.
• Work with sound and export: add music or sound effects, extract audio from video, choose export settings, and share the result through supported social platforms.

What to consider

CapCut is free to install. Its broad feature set can be useful for projects that need more than basic trimming; if you only need to cut a clip, some of the advanced tools may not be necessary. The age rating is 13+. The listing identifies Android as the supported platform but does not specify a minimum Android version or confirm which features are available offline.
