How are KreatorFlow, BytePlus and CapCut related?

CapCut is ByteDance's own video editing app. BytePlus is ByteDance's business: it sells ByteDance technology, including video editing, video cloud and the Seedance and Seedream models, to other companies. KreatorFlow is an official partner of BytePlus, a ByteDance company, and its editor is built on BytePlus video editing.

So KreatorFlow is not CapCut and is not run by ByteDance, but the editor and the AI models both come from the BytePlus side of the same company. How the editor ties into the partnership.

When is KreatorFlow the better fit?

  • You want to make the footage and edit it in one place: generate a Seedance clip, a product still or a voiceover and drop it on the timeline.
  • You edit on a laptop or desktop, in the browser, with nothing to install.
  • You want auto captions, 46 fonts, transitions, effects, filters and clip animations in one editor.
  • You publish in several shapes: 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:5, 4:3.

When is CapCut the better fit?

  • You edit mostly on your phone.
  • You only edit footage you already have and don't need AI video, images or voice.
  • Your projects already live in CapCut and you want to keep working on them there.
