How to Use Kapwing: Step-by-Step Guide

1. What is Kapwing?

Kapwing is an online video editor that combines artificial intelligence-supported subtitles, editing and content production tools that work through the browser. With automatic speech recognition technology, the feature of adding right captions in seconds, especially in terms of accessibility and interaction for social media today provides great convenience; subtitles can be customized with different styles and animations. Besides adding cutting, splicing, transition effects and music with classic video editing tools, it also offers artificial intelligence-supported automation features such as automatic resized (smart resize), background removal, silence/dolgu word cleaning. The collaboration tools that enable team members to work simultaneously on the same project make it a practical choice for content teams and agencies. Leisure-oriented features such as Meme, GIF and short clip production are part of the wide set of tools available on the platform. Compared to Descript’s text-based editing approach, Kapwing offers a more traditional timeline-based but accelerated editing experience with artificial intelligence.
