Verdict

The best browser editor for teams. Kapwing puts a full AI toolkit and real-time collaboration in the browser, so several people can edit one project with nothing to install.

Kapwing is the browser editor built for collaboration, the closest thing here to editing video the way teams edit a Google Doc. Several people can work the same project at once, with a full AI kit, auto-subtitles in 95-plus languages, Smart Cut for silences, a clip maker and a background remover, all with nothing to install.

It is a strong generalist that leads at no single job: its silence removal is less surgical than Gling's and its clipping less smart than Opus. For a team that wants one accessible place to make and caption video together, that breadth is the point.
