Browser video editing with subtitles
Kapwing edits video in a browser tab, which suits anybody working across two machines or unwilling to install anything. Subtitling, dubbing into forty languages and trimming by editing the transcript are the parts people come for. A repurpose tool cuts a long video into social clips. The free tier is real and the paid ones are metered in credits and minutes.
Our note
Trimming by transcript and the repurpose tool are what justify this over a free editor, particularly if subtitles are a weekly job. Descript does the transcript editing better; Kapwing wins on needing nothing installed.
Text and graphics laid over video
Typito is for putting text and graphics on top of video: lower thirds, captions, titles that match a brand rather than a preset. It is a browser tool aimed at marketers instead of editors, so the templates carry most of the design decisions. Export duration is what the plans meter, and the free one gives you thirty minutes a month.
Our note
The export minute allowance matters more than the price on this one, and the free tier's thirty minutes goes quickly. Kapwing costs about the same and does more, so pick Typito when the typography is the job.
