SINGAPORE — Video editing giant CapCut has officially crossed a major milestone, reaching over 660 million monthly active users across more than 170 markets. To mark the occasion, the platform kicked off its global community event series, CapCut World 2026, in Singapore, where it showcased its latest suite of artificial intelligence tools led by its flagship desktop feature, EditPilot.

Speaking at the event, Xiaoqi Fu, Global Head of CapCut, highlighted the massive impact of AI on digital content creation.

What Is CapCut EditPilot?

The focal point of CapCut’s mainstage presentation was EditPilot, an AI-powered editing assistant integrated directly into the CapCut PC desktop application.

Designed to act as a virtual co-pilot for video editors, EditPilot allows users to perform complex editing tasks using simple, conversational text prompts.

Key Capabilities of EditPilot:

• Automated Trimming & Cleanup: Quickly cuts out dead air, long pauses, and unwanted filler words (such as “um” and “uh”).
• Smart Scene Reordering: Automatically re-arranges video clips based on text instructions or narrative flow.
• Seamless Transitions: Ingests prompt instructions to automatically apply appropriate visual transitions between cuts.
• Multi-Version Generation: Instantly creates alternative cuts and variations of the same raw footage for A/B testing or multi-platform publishing.

CapCut emphasizes that EditPilot is engineered to serve as a “faster first-pass editor.” By handling repetitive, manual workflow tasks, the tool allows creators to focus their energy on fine-tuning creative directions, storytelling, and final visual polishing.
