"This is one of my favorite web applications"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Kapwing?

It's somewhat idiot-proof and the learning curve is incredibly shallow. I think they utilize great UX to simplify what used to be really complex tasks. I love that their free tier allows me to do so much. I used to have to jump from imovie to keynote to ezgif in order to make simple videos with audio, but now it literally just takes me 5 minutes to make a video and send it off to a client.

What do you dislike about Kapwing?

I don't like the timeline user experience. Trimming audio and video seems a bit rough and I have to frequently zoom into the timeline in order to make strategic clips. I also think that the timeline could have much more functionality such as fading audio. Fading audio is really important in the work I use kapwing for and would make my life a lot easier if that ability was built into the web application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Kapwing:

If you need to frequently return to our projects after a few days, it's best that you use a more premium tier because they lock your projects. This is fine for me, but may not be for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Kapwing solving and how is that benefiting you?

Kapwing is a one stop shop type of application. For my clients, I'm able to take my clients' visuals, add audio and trim the video to the exact length all within a couple of minutes. It takes up 0 space on my computer like all the apps I previously had to use. Teaching others to use kapwing is also incredibly easy. I shot a 5 minute loom video recently and onboarded another graphic designer so now we're making twice as many kaping videos for the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
