What's different about Kapwing?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit Kapwing's AI-generated videos?
Yes. Every AI-generated video made with Kapwing can be edited directly inside our online editor. The full editing suite is available whether a human made your video or AI had a helping hand. Other text to video tools may generate a final video without the ability to change anything, which is why millions of users choose Kapwing each month.
Can I convert an article into a video using Kapwing?
Yes, while you could copy and paste text from an article into Kapwing's AI Text to Video tool, there’s a more efficient option. Use our AI Article to Video Generator instead. Simply paste the article's URL into the "Use an article URL" tab, and Kapwing will automatically generate a video, pulling images directly from the article. This saves you the effort of manually uploading images, making the process faster and more streamlined.
What is an AI Persona and how are they used?
An AI Persona is a digital avatar created using AI. You will notice the option to use them as part of your video generation. Kapwing has three types of Persona offerings:
Cloning yourself: You can clone yourself into a Persona by uploading a video of yourself speaking to the camera.
Using a Stock Persona: Kapwing offers a range of Stock Personas, which are real people from diverse backgrounds.
Educational Personas: These are famous faces included to help showcase the capabilities of open-source lip-sync technologies.
To create a Persona, film a video (minimum 15 seconds) speaking to the camera, upload it to Kapwing, and name the Persona. Once your Persona is created, you can use it for individual projects or select your Persona when it appears on the 'Generate video' tab as you navigate through the Text to Video process. Alternatively, you can choose a voice from the stock library.
Is Kapwing's AI Toolkit free?
Yes, you can use Kapwing’s AI Toolkit for free. All users are permitted to export 5 minutes of content. To use Kapwing's AI tools for extended minutes, you will need a paid subscription.
Is there a Kapwing watermark on exports?
If you are using Kapwing on a Free account then all exports — including AI-generated content — will contain a watermark. Once you upgrade to a Pro account the watermark will be completely removed from your creations.
What is AI Text to Video and how does it work?
AI-powered text to video tools automatically convert written copy into videos. By analyzing the input text, the AI generates a range of multimedia content. Specifically, Kapwing creates a video project that includes images, videos, voiceovers, transitions, subtitles, and an optional human presenter. The process is as follows:
- Input Text: Users can enter any form of text.
- Content Analysis: The AI analyzes the text to identify key themes, tone, and context. It then matches parts of the script with relevant visuals, such as stock images, video clips, and animations.
- Voiceovers and Subtitles: Kapwing's AI Text to Video tool also generates voiceover and subtitles, alongside an optional human presenter.
- Video Assembly: Our AI compiles all these elements into a cohesive video, complete with transitions and music.
The tool is particularly valuable for content creators, marketers, educators, and businesses who need to quickly turn written content into engaging videos without requiring advanced video editing skills
Is Kapwing's AI Text to Video tool easy to use?
Yes, Kapwing's AI Text to Video tool is incredibly easy to use. Simply describe the video you want, and Kapwing will handle everything, from script creation to video generation. If you already have a script, you can use the "Script to Video" option instead, which will use your script word for word. Once your video is generated, you can export it as is or make further edits using Kapwing's AI-powered tools, which are just as simple to navigate.
Is there a limit to how much text I can upload?
Yes, Kapwing limits the amount of text characters you can upload to 1,000 characters. A 1,000-character script produces a video that lasts between 1-2 minutes depending on speaking pace. However, you can create a video up to 5 minutes long using Kapwing's prompts.
Kapwing is free to use for teams of any size. We also offer paid plans with additional features, storage, and support.
