    Browser-Based Editing Shines in Kapwing Despite Issues with Export Speed and Watermarks

    3.0
    Jun 5, 2025
    The software met my expectations, especially in terms of ease of use, speed and embedded features. I am not a professional video editor, and I found the graphic user interface very intuitive. In particular, I appreciated the tool for automatic subtitle generation. On the other hand, I think that the export speed of videos could be improved, especially the longer ones.

    I think like all the other software's I tried, this is providing all the common features like al tools, custom font, auto subtitling and on top of that we can use it to create lengthy videos with 4k video quality.

Kapwing Likes & Dislikes

Like

The simplicity and speed of it, without sacrificing capabilities!

Like

The ability to collaborate in real time with your colleagues and the simple editing options it offers. I'm not a video editor, and this was my first time editing, so a user-friendly tool is ideal. I also like that I can see the changes my colleague is making, and they can see mine as well. We can be on a voice call and communicate with better context.

Like

It has an easy to use interface.

Dislike

The many layers of content could be a bit tough to manage when you're placing text over video and sound. I also had a somewhat difficult time editing on my phone.

Dislike

The cost per user per month seemed a bit high to me, especially since we're a small company, but it's probably worth it considering the options it offers.

Automated Translation from Spanish
Dislike

Sometimes it will bug out on me and lag my computer, but this could be a RAM issue on my end. Haven't looked into it.
