The CapCut alternative that edits for you
CapCut gives you the tools. GetCapz also does the work. Describe your edit in a chat and the AI cuts, adds B-roll, music and captions, then you fine tune.
15 one-time AI credits. Unlimited exports with a small GetCapz mark. No credit card.
Why creators look for a CapCut alternative
CapCut is a popular free editor with templates and a mobile app. It is great when you want to build every edit yourself. But building every edit yourself is exactly what takes hours.
GetCapz works differently. You upload your clips and say what you want: keep the best takes, add B-roll, put music under the voice, add captions. The AI makes the edit on a real timeline and tells you what it did. You only fix what you want to change.
Generate word-by-word captions, correct the text and timing, and choose a style that fits your video. Every change stays editable on the timeline.
What you get with GetCapz
Edit by chatting
Describe the edit in plain words. The AI does it on the timeline.
Best takes picked for you
The AI reads your clips and builds a first cut from the best parts.
Auto B-roll, music and sound
Visuals, music and sound effects placed where they fit.
Editable captions
Add animated, word-by-word captions. Customize the font, colors and timing to match your style.
Manual control
Every AI edit is on a timeline you can change by hand.
Works in the browser
Nothing to install. Open it and start editing.
The same edit, described instead of built
In a timeline editor you make each cut and place each clip yourself. In GetCapz you describe the result and review what the AI built. Here is what that looks like.
Keep the best takes, add captions, put B-roll over the jump cuts, add light music under my voice, and export it vertical.
What changes for you
- You write one message instead of doing each step by hand.
- The AI builds the edit on a timeline you can open and change.
- You spend your time reviewing, not cutting.
- You can still fix any detail by hand.
How to switch from CapCut
Create a free account
No credit card. 15 AI credits to try.
Upload the same clips
Use the raw footage you would put in CapCut.
Ask for your usual edit
Describe it once. Compare the result and the time it took.
How to compare the two fairly
Use the same raw clips
Edit the same footage in both tools. It is the only honest way to compare the result.
Time the whole job
Compare the time from raw clips to a finished video, not one feature.
Test your own language
If you speak Arabic or Darija, check how each tool handles your real speech.
Check where you edit
GetCapz runs in the browser and works best on a computer. If you edit only on your phone, keep that in mind.
Mistakes when switching
Copying your old workflow
Do not start by making each cut yourself. Describe the full edit first.
Judging by the first try
Your second request will be better than your first. Learn what to ask for.
Switching everything at once
Try one video first. Move more of your work once you are happy with it.
