Free vertical video editor from the makers of TikTok
CapCut is free, runs on a phone or desktop, and every trending template lands here first. Auto captions are quick and accurate. Read the licence terms before using it for client work.
Our note
The best free video editor there is, with a caveat that has nothing to do with the software: it is owned by ByteDance, and the terms you agree to about your footage are worth ten minutes of reading before a client project goes through it.

Clips, captions and scheduling on one credit pool
quso.ai is the product that was vidyo.ai until it renamed, and it now does the publishing as well as the cutting: clips come out of a long video, get captioned, and go to six networks on a schedule. Everything draws on one monthly credit balance, so heavy editing and heavy posting compete for the same budget. The free plan renders at 720p, which is enough to judge the cuts and not enough to publish.
Our note
Worth knowing before you search for reviews: this is vidyo.ai renamed, so older write-ups under that name describe this product. The combination of clipping and scheduling on one credit pool is the case for it over a dedicated clipper plus a separate scheduler.
