Kapwing offers workflow automation that chains multiple video editing steps together and integrates with social media platforms. However, it appears to rely on third-party AI models rather than developing proprietary technology, limiting its uniqueness compared to direct AI tool usage.

Over my many years of using Kapwing, the product has become more and more locked off by payment. It started when they only let you make 5 unwatermarked videos a month. Then the watermark got about 33% bigger and you got 3 a month. Then none. Then you had to have a premium account

I wanted to try their tools after subscribing for a year. It turned out that I only have 1 credit instead of 1000. I used them less than 2 hours and there's no more credits. I requested for a credit usage history but we ignored. I wrote a second complaint and was ignored entirely

Comment “Game” and I’ll send it over⬇️. Stop using 3 different AI tools just to make one video. Kapwing’s new AI Studio can create full faceless videos using top AI models like Seedance, Kling, and Veo. But the real magic is that it doesn’t just generate the clips. It can also add B-roll, voiceover, subtitles, and background music. Then you can still customize every layer inside the editor. Basically, you give it the idea, drop in a few references, and it builds the full video workflow for you.  #kapwing #aistudio #aivideo #aiediting YOUTUBE232.8K views
