Verdict

Stay with Kapwing if you need auto subtitles, translation, long exports or a shared team workspace. Consider Descript for speech-led editing or Clipchamp if you want free 1080p exports without a watermark. lovideo fits when you already have photos, clips and music and want a short social video (up to 5 minutes) without building a timeline, with the option to finish in CapCut through the draft export. lovideo does not transcribe audio or add subtitles automatically.
