1Where they differ

Only CapCut's pages list reframing a video to vertical. Only Descript's pages list getting the video onto platforms, the highest export resolution, and B-roll and stock footage. On automatic captions, CapCut reads “automatic captions” and Descript “animated captions”. On cutting a long video into short clips they agree: clips cut from a long video. On generating footage with AI they agree: new footage from a prompt. On watermarks on exports, CapCut reads “clean exports, plan not stated” and Descript “clean exports on paid plans”. On AI voiceover and dubbing, CapCut reads “AI voiceover” and Descript “translation or dubbing”. On cleaning up audio and picture, CapCut reads “audio cleanup” and Descript “audio and picture cleanup”.

Where one app is silent, a product page may list what its pricing page leaves out.
