The free CapCut alternative for builders — your AI can edit too
CapCut's clean export breaks on Pro-tagged effects. Eziclip never stamps.
Choose Eziclip if
You don't want Pro effects to bring the watermark back
You want your footage private, not uploaded to CapCut's cloud
You want your own AI agent to edit the project
You want a huge library of premium templates and effects
You want AI avatars, AI video generation or the phone app
CapCut is built for trends and effects — with an account, a cloud upload, and a Pro upsell that can re-stamp your export.
Eziclip Studio is built for product videos: cut a demo by text, caption it, reformat for every platform, and let the agent that wrote your code run the edit.
On Mac, Windows, or in the browser — footage stays on your machine.

Questions
Yes — Eziclip Studio needs a free account, then edits video free on Mac, Windows, or in the browser. CapCut also requires sign-in, and its web editor uploads your footage. On Eziclip, footage stays on your machine, and exports carry no watermark.
No watermark · unmetered exports. CapCut: Pro-tagged effects can re-add one.
Quick tools open with no account. Studio needs a free account — then editing and every export stay free. CapCut: Required.
No. Your footage and your exports stay yours, and nothing you make is used to train an AI model. CapCut's terms grant ByteDance broad rights over content you import to its service.
Studio editing and every export stay free, clean, and unmetered. An agent task is one editing job — from the first change your agent makes until it stops for 30 minutes (or hits 8 hours). Free gets 10 tasks per rolling 30 days; Plus is unlimited agents, unlimited boards, AI board notes, and commercial use.
Yes. After a free account, Eziclip transcribes your clip on device — strike words to cut the video and flip on word-timed captions, with no cloud upload.
A massive effects, template and trend library, more cloud voice styles, and polished mobile apps. Eziclip already has free stock search, Drive/Dropbox import and local TTS — but not CapCut's trend library or CapCut-style mobile apps.
Yes — Studio's Color tab has CDL lift/gamma/gain wheels, a skin Match + Retouch block, one-tap AI Auto color, a Log → Color switch for flat log footage, and creative knobs — contrast, exposure, highlights and shadows, saturation, vibrance, temperature, tint, vignette and film looks. Every control is keyframeable and a grade copies across clips — free on Mac, Windows, or in the browser after a free account, and CapCut's web editor uploads your footage.
Yes — Studio auto-transcribes on device first, then you pick a bundled face or any font installed on your machine (Chrome/Edge Local Font Access). Eleven word-timed animation presets burn into the export, and captions translate into nine languages.
Yes — paste one link into Claude, ChatGPT or any agent that accepts connectors, and it edits your project autonomously: cuts, captions, color, sound, stock footage and export. Eziclip hands the agent real editing know-how along with the tools, so the result follows editing craft rather than guesswork.
Try a quick tool free to start
Three jobs CapCut often puts behind a paywall — free here, no signup.
Quick tools are no-signup slices of Free Studio
One job each — cut, caption, compress, convert — from the same open-canvas board. Free to export, no watermark, no limit. Or open Studio and do it all on one board with your agent.

What's new in Eziclip
The latest updates across Studio.
A much faster Studio
Panning and zooming the board stays smooth at your display's full frame rate, even with several sheets open.
Your agent asks first, then edits to a plan
Before the first cut, your agent asks what the video is for, where it will post and how long it should be — then writes down what's in the footage and which moments it keeps. No more guessing.
eziclip on npm — edit from the terminal
One command starts Studio on your machine. Press Allow once in the browser, then your agent goes from a file on disk to a finished export — no tab to keep open.
