What they are

CapCut

CapCut is ByteDance's free video editor built around short-form content workflows. It handles trimming, captions, transitions, and green screen in a mobile-first interface that also runs in the browser. Widely used by TikTok and Reels creators for its auto-caption and template features.

Loom

Loom is a video messaging tool that lets creators, teams, and educators record their screen, camera, or both and instantly share a link. It is widely used for async communication, product walkthroughs, and feedback on creative work. The free tier is genuinely usable, though video length limits and storage caps push most active users toward a paid plan fairly quickly.
