Jared K
CMO
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jared and I am the Executive Director of Kinyua Marketing Agency. And it is a two to 10 employee company. And Kapwing, from one to five, is a five for me. Kapwing is a new company to me because the current companies I was using was InShot, Descript and I was also using Midjourney. However, the refreshing and the lagging and the updates constantly instead of having a smooth operating system was kind of why I had to switch because it wasn't letting me do what I needed to do with the videos I was editing. Kapwing is just a seamless solution to me because dealing with a lot of web-based apps, I noticed there's either a technology delay or there's a system delay. And with Kapwing, I didn't experience either one, so I was able to really implement. The strategy I was trying to do was just extract music from a video and it was really seamless in splitting up the MP3 and the other file types. It was very quick, less than five minutes to really get set up, and it was nearly identical to most of the other software I'm used to using for video and photography and music editing. So it was almost just night and day difference. Second nature, if you want to call it that. And to me, I've been able to expand on not just using it, but implementing it with AI and a couple other softwares I already have. The best advice I would suggest for anybody looking at Kapwing, if you haven't got your feet wet with AI to text or video editing or even video AI or any of those softwares out there, you can definitely try those first. Kapwing is more for the advanced user that needs to do a couple video edits, adding scenes, create B roll, create more complex workflows for their videos. So it's not an entry level product, but it is a seamless solution for anybody from a beginner mode to an expert.

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Gil. I'm founder and CEO of my own company, and I give AVS for you a five-star rating. If you want more reviews like this, click below. I use AVS for you in a variety of ways. I have multiple clients who have lots of different videos in different formats, and my charge is always to try to combine or convert these various videos into one video. What I like most about AVS is that it handles all of the formats that you need, particularly old ones like flash, which you hardly see anymore, but I have clients who have a lot of flash files. So this is a perfect editing system for me. If there's any room for improvement, I would like to see AVS for you have a one-time purchase fee. I don't particularly like the subscription format, but I do love the program and I will continue to use it.
