- Effects
- 181 transitions
- LUTs
- Beat sync
- Every open-source font
- Free stock
- Hardware export
Shenron or Porunga. Switch whenever you like.
Both edit the same project. Switching never changes your work, only the tools on screen. Press Tab in the app to swap.
Quick, friendly, done.
One main track and big tools. Built for getting a video out fast.
- One main track. Clips close gaps by themselves, so there is nothing to line up.
- Big, friendly tools. Text, stickers, effects, transitions, music, captions and more in one tidy row.
- Straight to social. Pick TikTok, Reels or YouTube, export and share.
Everything you reach for. Nothing in the way.
Effects, transitions, colour, type and sound, all in one light app that opens in a moment.
Effects
Stack effects on any clip and tune each one while it plays.
181 transitions
Dissolves, wipes, pushes, zooms and more. Drop one on a cut.
Colour grading and LUTs
Wheels, curves and looks, plus your own LUTs.
Beat-synced cuts
Kaptcho marks the beats in your music so cuts land on time.
Every open-source font
The whole open-source font library, searchable by name and style.
Shapes and stickers
Arrows, frames, shapes and stickers, ready to animate.
Audio effects
Shape voices and music with effects, fades and a loudness target.
Your shots are already here.
No hunting through folders. Kaptcho brings your libraries and free stock into the app, ready to drag onto the timeline.
Your media, inside the app
Photos, iCloud and your folders on a Mac. Local and cloud folders on Windows and Linux.
Free stock libraries
Search free video, photos and music, with credits kept for you.
Pick a network. The size is already right.
Export with your graphics chip, then send it on through each network's own upload flow.
Opens quickly. Stays out of the way.
A native app, not a website in a tab. It uses what your computer already has and leaves the rest alone.
Proxies for heavy files
4K and ProRes get a lighter stand-in for editing. The export still uses your originals.
Your files stay put
Media is used where it lives. Projects save quietly as you go.
Nothing uploaded
No tracking. Your videos only leave your computer when you share them or keep a copy in your Drive.
What does Kaptcho cost?
Nothing. Kaptcho is free while in early access, with no card. If paid plans ever come, we will announce them first and give notice before anything changes.
Do I need an account?
Yes, a free Viremail account. Download Kaptcho, choose Continue with Viremail and start a project.
What are Shenron and Porunga?
Kaptcho's two modes. Shenron is the easy one: one main track and big, friendly tools. Porunga is the advanced one: connected tracks, precise trims, keyframes and full colour. Both edit the same project, and switching never changes your work.
Which computers does it run on?
Macs (macOS 11 or later, Intel and Apple silicon), Windows 10 and 11 on 64-bit PCs, and 64-bit Linux with glibc 2.31 or later, such as Ubuntu 20.04 and newer.
Do my videos leave my computer?
No. Editing and exporting happen on your computer. When you share to a network, the video goes through that network's own upload flow, and only when you choose to.
Why does my computer warn me when I open Kaptcho?
The builds are not code-signed yet. Apple and Windows developer accounts are on the way, so signing is coming soon. Until then the download page shows how to open the app in a few clicks.
Free while in early access.
No card. Download Kaptcho, sign in with Viremail and start a project.
