A GUIDE TO CHOOSING
Consider CapCut for working on the footage, pacing and subtitles of a social video. Consider Descript for cutting and reorganising an interview or spoken video using its transcript.
A SELECTION WITH THE CHOICES EXPLAINED
The options to compare.
Our recommendations are editorial: choose for your use case, then test with the same brief.
CapCut
Edit a social video and refine its pacing
- Choose it for
- Assemble your footage, edit a talking-head video and add subtitles you can correct and customise.
- The trade-off to know
- Included features may vary by plan and platform. Check the exported result and the licence for every resource.
My first test
Import a short talking-head video, remove dead time and generate the subtitles. Correct proper names before exporting.
Check: A subscription does not make every sound and template available for commercial use. Check their licences and the permitted platforms.
Descript
Edit a recording by working with its text
- Choose it for
- Transcribe audio or a spoken video, then cut and reorganise the content by editing its transcript.
- The trade-off to know
- Media minutes and AI features depend on your plan. The free plan adds a watermark to video exports. Correct the transcript before the final edit.
My first test
Import a short excerpt you are authorised to process. Correct the text, then remove a passage to understand transcript-based editing.
Check: Check the recorded participants' permissions before importing and your plan's limits before starting a long project. Listen to the cuts again and correct the subtitles.
