Review Kapwing?

Reviewers are sharply split on Kapwing, but the loudest theme is reliability trouble: many users report failed imports, freezes, slow uploads, broken exports, lag on longer or more complex projects, and support or refund disputes that left them feeling burned. Pricing limits, watermarks, project caps, and recent changes also draw repeated frustration. Still, a sizeable group says it is easy to use and useful for social content, especially captions, auto transcription, subtitle generation, silence removal, quick audio edits, and simple multi-format video work when it runs smoothly.

I like the interface and found it user friendly. However the fact that it is browser based has given me a lot of headaches. Uploads not working or taking forever. As your videos get more complex, the program can't download them and you need to break them up into chunks. Many times my videos dont download unless I chunk them down into 2 minute increments. For 10-15 minute videos this gets very annoying and time consuming. I'm sad to say I just can't continue using this program, yet I still have many months left in my subscription. But like so many other companies out there, once they get your money, you'll never see it again, even if the product stops working for you. And sure enough, Kapwing will not refund me my remaining subscription months. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of giving away my hard earned money. Because that's essentially what I'm doing. I paid for a video editing program to make my YT videos. But when it takes me 5 times longer to make a video with that program than it does on something like ClipChamp, the product is not what I paid for. Too bad for me though, the money has vanished and can never return.

just horrible.....I use the app for 20 mins and I already hate it. first I uploaded a file that for some reason had problems witch rather letting me fix it/delet it. it just crashes and I HAVE TO RESTART and do it over and over again. The lag is JUST HELL. AND ONLY 4 MINS TO CREATE ONE PROJECT. this app is a joke.. I have no idea who is "boss" here but they are just making the app 20x worse then it was before. also why is the watermark SO DANG BIG. like I understand trying to get more people to use the app, but YOU DONT NEED TO COVER UP 1/8 OF THE DANG SCREEN. would not recomond this app to anyone

1. First off, so expensive. If you want to keep more than THREE videos, JUST THREE at one time, you have to pay, which is dumb. At least it is better than only having your videos in for only three days until it gets deleted, right? Right, but NOW you can only have three videos at a time AND you can only have them in for THREE DAYS. Insanely stupid. Also, they are so money thirsty. 2. If you make audio or a video, it will purposely chip and mess with the audio/video. There is also a feature called 'Clean Audio' that costs money but it is literally just your original audio. How money thirsty. 3. Today, I was exporting a video, and it says "cannot upload right now because all of the layers are not uploaded" it told me to try again in a few seconds. I waited HOURS, leaving my Chromebook OPEN, checking EVERYTHING in the video, everything was uploaded but it was NOT GIVING ME MY VIDEO. When I tried to refresh, it said I might lose some progress, which I didn't want because I worked hours to make this video. After another few minutes or probably an hour, it still didn't work, so I gave in and refreshed. 4. Also, the watermark. They made it BIGGER now, and they even removed the option to have a few watermark-free videos every month without premium. Like that is so stupid to remove it.. 5. Also, you now cannot record videos longer than 15 minutes on the camera option which is useless anyway because you cant export anything more than 4 MINUTES. 6. Also, this site makes my whole Chromebook freeze. It might sound like a "me" problem, but it is not. ALL the other websites work, but if I put a video and a song over it, the sound will start sounding glitchy, my mouse wont move, and everything freezes. I have to shut off my Chromebook, and if I try to work on it again, it freezes up for another time. Once, it happened and I shut my Chromebook, and the sound kept playing when it was COMPLETELY shut. It scared me so much, I shoved it in a closet and covered the sound up, couldn't even shut down my Chromebook cause of the freezing. Trust me, when they ask you for feedback, they WONT LISTEN. They'll make it worse, don't use this site unless its for silly goofy useless projects or what not. Kapwing is by far the worst editing site....
