Answer: Without a doubt, CapCut is the #1 video editor for TikTok simply because it is made by the same company who made TikTok, so it’s designed to integrate perfectly.
However, SendShort is much stronger because it automatically edits your video with AI in ~2 minutes.
Answer: CapCut — it is the free video editor for TikTok videos, as it’s a sister-product of TikTok.
They’re both made by a company called Bytedance.
Answer: Yes, TikTok has its own video editor that allows users to trim clips, add music, sound effects, and insert text and effects directly within the app.
