Looking for a CapCut alternative?
If you edit short videos and want an editor that does more of the work for you, Split is worth a try. It's free on Windows and Android, and its AI edits from a sentence.
How Split is different
- Edit by typing. Describe the edit and SplitIT makes it on the timeline, instead of you doing each cut.
- Copy any edit. Genjitsu rebuilds the cuts, pacing, text and song of a video you like with your own clips.
- A real timeline. Everything the AI does stays editable by hand, and there's a Pro mode with professional panels when you want more control.
- No watermark. Exports are clean, and editing by hand is free.
- Claude can drive it. Split has an MCP server, so AI assistants like Claude can edit for you. How to set it up.
What's the same
Like other short-form editors, Split does vertical video, captions, text, music, effects, filters and quick exports to 9:16, 16:9, 1:1 and 4:5.
Who it's for
Creators posting to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts; podcasters cutting clips; small businesses making ads; anyone who would rather describe an edit than build it frame by frame.
