Pricing or terms sourceCode, model and service licensing
You retain content rights while granting Kapwing a non-exclusive processing/publishing license and promotional use; you must hold third-party media and real-person consent rights. AI scenes and provider-specific policies remain restricted. Limited open-source components do not license the hosted platform or model weights. Kapwing says it does not train on customer data, but its subprocessor FAQ seeks restrictions 'where available' and Enterprise review; confirm the actual model contract. Stored projects, legal exceptions and unlisted sharing mean this is not zero-retention or default-private processing.
Basis and limits of the recorded score
Original 4.4 retained; no original scoring worksheet was available. This docs-only update does not re-score export quality, speed or usability.
Overview
Kapwing combines browser video editing and collaborative projects with AI-assisted workflows. Autocut uses prompts, transcript analysis and speech detection to assemble drafts from uploads; Repurpose Studio identifies sections and creates topic-led clips from longer recordings. Captions, translation and dubbing draw on a shared credit pool, so headline maximum minutes cannot all be used independently. Export resolution, duration, storage and privacy vary by plan. Review the selected moments, transcript and media rights before publishing. This entry is based on official documents, without operating the editor or measuring editing quality or speed.
