CapCut, known in China as JianYing (Chinese: 剪映; pinyin: Jiǎnyìng) and formerly internationally as ViaMaker, is a Chinese short-form video editing app developed by ByteDance.

History

[edit]

The app was first released in China in 2019 and was initially available for iPhone and Android.[1][2] In 2020, it was renamed as CapCut (formerly ViaMaker internationally) and became available internationally.[3] It later expanded to include web and desktop versions for Mac and Windows.[2]

In 2022, CapCut reached 200 million active users.[4] According to The Wall Street Journal, in March 2023, it was the second-most downloaded app in the U.S., behind that of Chinese discount retailer Temu.[5][6] Currently CapCut has over 1 billion downloads on the Google Play Store.

Features

[edit]

The free version of CapCut has multiple features, including speed options for adjusting the duration of clips.[2] The Auto Captions tool can be used to generate video captions that can be edited within the app; however, it is no longer a free feature with the latest updates.[2]

CapCut supports basic video editing functions, including editing, trimming, and splitting clips.[2] It allows the addition of new clips to projects but is limited to single-layer editing. However, the app supports overlay options that enable additional effects, including multi-layer editing.[2] Users can also use many types of effects such as trending, opening and closing, nightclub, retro, glitch and distortion, vlog 3D, cartoon, dark and split. Users can export or save completed projects directly to different social media platforms.[2]
