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.

Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
