Reviewers find Kapwing's auto subtitle feature to be a significant time-saver, as it can automatically generate subtitles in multiple languages and optimize file sizes upon export. They appreciate the ease of adding and editing subtitles, which makes videos more accessible to a broader audience.

They value the browser-based nature of the editor, which allows for smooth and robust performance without the need for extensive software installations. Overall, reviewers highlight the platform's simplicity and effectiveness for basic editing tasks, making it a practical choice for novice editors.
Pros
It comes with a clean audio even for free subscriptions. Another important feature is its liability to third-party software, iMyFone, which helps enhance the quality of the photos and backgrounds.
I love any program/software that is easy to use and makes me look like I know what I am doing (even when I don't really).
I am convinced with a lot of free features of Kapwing which are very useful. I love the fact that they have an auto-subtitle option and this is really time-saving.
Excellent tool for video editing on the fly. I love the community that Kapwing is curating and the friendly support.
Cons
Their connection often cuts out, and all YOUR work disappears.
It provides zero indication if its actually doing any processing or not in the background and occasionally just "hangs. Which is weird for a software on the cloud.
The functionality of this product is the absolute worst.
The customer service is awful and nonexistence. You would be working on a project and it do not publish.

"Personalize Your Videos with Kapwing"
Overall: Very good - especially since I was able to do what I needed in terms of adding captions to existing videos right away. Several of the recent updates will allow me to expand what I'm doing with my videos and easily make them more uniform and branded.
Pros: Very easy to upload existing videos for editing and adding captions. It's possible to create a video background for an audio only recording that can easily be uploaded and shared to YouTube.
Cons: Like most software these days, it starts very clean and simple and then the designers add more and more features. This is both good and bad. Good because some of the features are useful for my business. Bad because it makes what was a simple and clean process more complicated.
"Its the small things for me"
Overall: It was able to handle a fairly simple cut of a song I wanted to do at a specific time without compromise and add video to the content without refreshing and reloading. Like beast mode for a few minutes of content and no slack.
Pros: Kapwing is winning at the small things for me, its flexible and easy to use online
Cons: Its still in the infancy of the full things it can do like auto-pan and contrast the sound levels. Its not adobe, but it's worth as an experienced to beginner editors out there.
"The best and the easiest "
Overall: Amazing experience I love that it comes with translation
Pros: Translation and easy of use the three types of editing
Cons: Overload sometimes I can't download my project
"Projects take me 5 times longer than they should"
Overall: Negative - I would have been happy to recommend the product to anyone comfortable with a browser-only interface but due to their refusal to refund unused months on a subscription, I can no longer recommend this company.
Pros: I like the interface and found it user friendly.
Cons: However the fact that it is browser based has given me a lot of headaches. Uploads not working or taking forever. As your videos get more complex, the program can't download them and you need to break them up into chunks. Many times my videos dont download unless I chunk them down into 2 minute increments. For 10-15 minute videos this gets very annoying and time consuming. I'm sad to say I just can't continue using this program, yet I still have many months left in my subscription. But like so many other companies out there, once they get your money, you'll never see it again, even if the product stops working for you. And sure enough, Kapwing will not refund me my remaining subscription months. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of giving away my hard earned money. Because that's essentially what I'm doing. I paid for a video editing program to make my YT videos. But when it takes me 5 times longer to make a video with that program than it does on something like ClipChamp, the product is not what I paid for. Too bad for me though, the money has vanished and can never return.
"Make the same clip global content that delivers our advertising message in multiple languages"
Overall: With Kapwing, we were able to target a new audience of non-native speakers and gain increased engagement on social media.
Pros: Kapwing made us creative in delivering advertising messages in all targeted languages with complete ease. I loved that the audio content was converted to text and the automatic translation provided by Kapwing is coherent and accurately reflects the content of the clip. It is great that Kapwing maintains the size and quality of the original video after adding the translation and its special effects.
Cons: I understand that Kapwing did not succeed in dealing with some colloquial words and writing them and then translating them correctly. Thanks to the quick language proofing feature, we were able to catch those mistakes and correct them easily.
