Free editor vs dedicated AI clipper.
CapCut is the most popular free video editor, owned by ByteDance (TikTok). It's great for manual editing — trimming, effects, captions, templates. But CapCut doesn't automatically find viral moments in your long videos. You still have to watch, select, and trim manually. Here's how Katto compares for the repurposing workflow.
