When it comes to video editors for Windows that are well-equipped and also free, there are not that many out there. CapCut is probably the best of the lot in this regard. While created and released for mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, ByteDance later created CapCut for Windows realizing the massive demand for a great and lightweight video editor.

Overview

CapCut for PC is a lightweight and easy-to-use video editing application. Main competitors like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro are heavy software that require a decent computer to run the programs smoothly, and on top of this, they are not free. On the other hand, CapCut for Windows is free and can easily work on even low-spec PCs smoothly.

Most important features

When it comes to video editors, extra features always come in handy. But at the same time, it is important to have the usual trimming, editing, and adjustment features working properly. For this particular application, it has got it all covered. It has all the main features that you would need to edit your videos, whether you are editing short-form videos or long-form clips.

Whether you are a social media user or a professional video editor, CapCut will help you hone your skill and create exactly what you want, but in a much simpler and lighter package than the giant video editors available in the market.

One of the most impressive features that the app offers is the auto-caption option, which can detect more than 30 languages and put captions on screen for you in over 30 languages according to the voice in the video. This is one of the most useful features that video editors thoroughly enjoy, as it eliminates the need to do this manually.

Filters, stickers, sound effects, and more, CapCut is fantastic at what it does by providing you with a ton of useful features that are particularly applicable in the modern era of reels, short-form videos, and long videos for YouTube and other platforms. It offers cool filters, video effects, sound effects (with a built-in library that can be downloaded from the internet), overlay texts with tons of templates, and so much more.

Furthermore, with each visual item that you apply to your video, such as a video effect, sticker, text, or any picture, you can apply tracking on that item to create cool effects for your video. For example, if you want the text to move smoothly alongside the subject or an arrow pointing at a moving vehicle in a video, you can do that in no time using CapCut.

Conclusion

CapCut is one of the best options for free video editors out there, if not the best. When it comes to modern video editing for social media, no other software comes close. It can run on low-spec computers, and you have every option covered with no cost to pay for.
