What they are

CapCut

CapCut is a free video editor built for short-form content, covering trimming, transitions, captions, and AI-generated effects across mobile and desktop. It is the go-to tool for TikTok creators, though ByteDance owns it, which is a real consideration for creators concerned about data privacy or platform risk. The free tier is generous, and a Pro subscription unlocks additional assets and AI features.

Suno

Suno is an AI music generation tool that creates complete songs, including vocals, instrumentation, and lyrics, from a short text prompt. It serves content creators, podcasters, game developers, and anyone who needs original music without hiring composers or navigating licensing. The output quality is impressive for background and mood music, though Suno retains some rights over generations on lower-tier plans, which is worth reading carefully before commercial use.
