Read the full CapCut AI review
CapCut turned a free consumer video editor into an AI powerhouse. Auto-captions, background removal, auto-cut, script-to-video and voice cloning are all included in a genuinely free product. The obvious pick for short-form creators who do not need pro NLE features.

Pika is a text- and image-to-video generator with a fun, creator-friendly personality. Its Pikaffects and lip-sync features make it a favorite for short-form social content that has to be eye-catching. Less of a full production suite than Runway, more of a fast, expressive clip generator.
