Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Kapwing and ClipDraft?
Kapwing is a collaborative video editor: you upload video footage, edit it with your team, add AI subtitles, and export the result. Kapwing does not generate videos from text. ClipDraft does exactly that: you enter a text prompt, the AI creates photorealistic footage, and the video appears directly via API in your TikTok drafts.
Does Kapwing have a TikTok integration?
Kapwing offers social media export in the right format — but no direct TikTok Draft API export. Videos must be manually downloaded and uploaded. ClipDraft uses the official TikTok Content Posting API and automatically exports to your TikTok drafts.
What does Kapwing cost compared to ClipDraft?
Kapwing starts at $16/month (Pro). ClipDraft has no subscription — you only pay per generated video. For solo creators who need fresh TikTok content daily without existing recordings, Kapwing is not a practical alternative.
When is Kapwing the better choice?
Kapwing is well-suited for content teams working together on video projects — for example, a social media agency editing client footage. The collaboration features (shared workspaces, comments, versioning) are irrelevant for solo creators. ClipDraft is for individuals who want to generate original TikTok content daily.
