CapCut
The free tier is still the most capable no-cost video editor most people will need: real multi-track editing, keyframes, chroma key and 1080p export without paying. Paid plans are now built around AI credits for Seedance video generation, so they pay off only if you generate footage regularly. A pricing page finally exists, but it quotes local-currency prices marked for reference only, and the final number still appears after sign-in.
Pros
- The free tier includes multi-track timeline, keyframes, chroma key, speed ramping and 1080p export
- One project syncs across iOS, Android, web, macOS and Windows
- Automatic captioning and dubbing are fast and adequate for social output
- Teams plan adds a brand kit and Pro features for every seat
Cons
- Plan prices are shown in local currency 'for reference only'; final price, taxes and offers appear only after sign-in
- Some Pro templates and effects stamp a watermark on free exports
- Generative video is metered in credits, and the per-second rates quoted are first-month offers
- No public API found, so it cannot be driven from a pipeline
