Kapwing

Kapwing is an online video editing platform run by a San Francisco company that describes itself as female-founded and female-led. Everything happens in the browser, so creators and teams can edit, subtitle and publish from any computer without installing software. Its newer tools can also build a layered video project from a single written prompt.
