Why people pick Shotz.

Different starting points

CapCut starts with an empty timeline. Shotz starts with your clips and a sentence.

Finds the moment

Shotz watches every clip, so “the bit where we all laugh” is a search, not a scrub.

Fills the gaps

Missed the wide shot? Shotz generates it to match your footage, and labels it.

Where CapCut is great.

Effects

An enormous effects, filters and transitions library, updated with every trend.

Templates

Trending templates you can drop clips into in seconds.

Control

Keyframes, speed curves and layers for people who love to edit by hand.
