Veed has the upper hand on collaboration

CapCut is simply not built for marketing teams. Veed is. The platform is crafted with companies in mind, and outshines CapCut’s “single-player mode”. 

Brand kits 

In Veed’s brand kits section, teams can upload brand assets and set font styles, color guides, and other branding guidelines that can then be automatically applied every time a new video is uploaded. 

CapCut has a brand kit section, but it’s not as useful as Veed’s.

Collaborative editing

Veed supports multiple editors working on the same project, facilitating teamwork with features like shared URLs and feedback comments.

When sharing a video, Veed has introduced a “reviewer” mode, inviting someone to view and comment on a video before it’s finalized. CapCut does not allow that.

CapCut is easier for short-form videos

CapCut, built by the makers of TikTok, is custom-made for short-form videos. The tool is filled with ready-made components you can quickly drag onto your videos, like: 

• Elements
• Video effects
• Body effects 
• Music
• Sound effects
• Avatars
• And more

CapCut’s clip generator is also pretty neat. All you have to do is upload a video under 3 hours long (supports 20 languages), and CapCut will find highlights and create short clips with automated captions.

Capcut’s social media integrations are more seamless

Not only does Veed require paid upgrades for most of its video exports (more on this later), but the platform limits free format downloads. On the other hand, CapCut has native export options to popular social media and video platforms, like TikTok, Youtube, Instagram, Facebook, etc. 

Veed is browser first, CapCut is mobile and desktop

Veed is made to be used right from your browser, most often on a laptop or desktop computer, whereas CapCut is built to be mobile first, then desktop. 

CapCut does have an online version, but most people use the desktop or mobile app.

What’s cool about Veed’s browser-first approach, is that makes almost all parts of the platform available right from the website. 

Veed is easier for editing longer videos, and has recording options

Longer videos are easier to edit in Veed. In CapCut, the drag and drop menu gets messy when you try to add multiple media files. Veed also has camera recording options (similar to what you could do in Loom), which CapCut does not.

Veed vs Capcut: Who’s winning the AI race?

Veed has more AI features than CapCut

You can technically do more with AI in Veed. The video platform has been rapidly adding AI functionalities that marketers love.

CapCut wins at automated AI assistance

Some of the things CapCut can do without manual input surpass what can be done in Veed. A good example is CapCut Commerce Pro ⤵️

With Commerce Pro, content creators can upload a product URL and CapCut will automatically create short-form shoppable content like these ⤵️

Pricing differences between Veed & Capcut 

CapCut has a more generous free plan

Since CapCut is made by the creators of TikTok, and that’s where they make the majority of their revenue, they can be very generous with CapCut. The tool has a generous free plan and not a lot of paywalls pop up as your use the platform.

Veed, on the other hand 🔽

Veed has a ton of paywalls 

One clear downside with Veed is the constant paywalls that open when you try to take specific actions, like: 

• Exporting in HD
• Trimming
• Saving a brand kit
• Creating a template
• Removing Veed’s watermark 
• Etc.

Both tools are affordable, with Capcut slightly cheaper

Have you considered combining video & interactive?

If you’re a content creator aiming to film and edit video content for social media uses, this section is not for you. 

If you’re a software marketer or content creator, you should absolutely consider combining videos and interactive content. Most marketing teams and content creators we talk to have both:

• An interactive demo software
• And a video editing platform 

Here’s why 👇

Interactive drives more conversions than video content

According to research by video platform Vidyard, and our own analysis of 20,000+ published Arcades, interactive demos outperform video content by 7.2x.

Most interactive demo platforms have video recording and editing 

Here’s an example of an interactive video that combines both video recordings and interactive walkthroughs 👇

‍

Tools like Arcade are perfect to record product interactions and demo videos, and you can make further improvements in platforms like Veed. 

‍

Interactive content is easier to personalize and scale

With features like HTML editing (view below 👇), tools like Arcade let you tailor interactive and video content to specific audiences. 

With videos, you need to re-record every time you want to make a change, which is a major pain if you’re orchestrating content campaigns aimed at multiple target audiences.

‍

How to get started with Arcade

Combining video and interactive demos with Arcade is straightforward and takes just a few minutes:

1. Sign up 

2. Install our Chrome extension

3. Start recording 📹

4. Edit your demo (or video)
