Kapwing: Make a Video About Anything
Turns prompts, scripts and images into editable videos in the browser
Kapwing: Make a Video About Anything is a browser-based video creation platform that generates multi-scene videos from a text prompt, image, script, article or PDF and then hands you a timeline to edit them on.
Generation runs through Kai, the platform's AI video assistant, which can expand your prompt or take detailed direction on things like camera angles. The company says the product is used by more than 35 million creators, and describes its goal as letting teams turn an idea into a first draft without recording anything.

What Kapwing: Make a Video About Anything does
Prompt-to-video generation
You can start from a text prompt, an image, a script, an article or a PDF and get a multi-scene video rather than a single clip. Kai, the AI video assistant, can rewrite your prompt or take scene-by-scene instructions.
Editable timeline behind the generation
Generated projects arrive with layers, timing and sound already arranged. From there a drag-and-drop timeline gives frame-level control over trims, overlays and track order.
Subtitles, transcription and dubbing
The subtitler adds captions in the browser and the transcriber turns video into text. Dubbing translates dialogue into 40+ languages, and a Trim with Transcript tool lets you cut by editing the text.
Repurposing long video into clips
Clip Maker pulls short clips out of one video, and Repurpose Studio turns a single video into clips sized for social platforms.
Audio and voiceover tools
Text to Speech produces voiceovers from written text in a few clicks, Clean Audio reduces background noise and improves quality, and Smart Cut strips silences automatically.
Runs inside Claude and ChatGPT
An MCP connection at kapwing.com/mcp lets you trigger Kapwing from AI agents, and there is also a Slack app. Claude and ChatGPT are the listed integrations.
