Recapo is an AI video editing and commentary platform that turns long footage into recap videos, highlight shorts, scripts, voiceovers and subtitles.
About
Recapo is a browser-based AI video editing and commentary platform designed to convert long source videos into publish-ready recap videos and short highlight clips. It addresses a common bottleneck for creators: turning hours of footage or livestreams into structured output — summary, script, voiceover, captions, clips and exports — without juggling several unrelated tools or learning a traditional timeline editor.
The workflow runs in four steps: the user uploads footage or pastes an authorized video link, the AI assembles a rough cut by selecting what it judges to be the best moments, the user refines the edit and can add B-roll, and finally schedules automatic publishing to YouTube. The company reports more than 5 million videos processed, over 200,000 users across 50+ countries and regions, and testimonials from creators on its site. Recapo also bundles third-party video and image generation models for creating supplementary media.

Who It's For
Recapo targets movie recap creators, livestream clippers, course repurposers, talking-head editors, commerce-video teams and operators of faceless channels. It suits situations where one long source needs to become several connected assets — summary, script, voiceover, captions, clips, crops, covers and exports — within a single platform. Creators who need frame-level compositing or complex motion graphics should still finish their output in a traditional editor, and editorial judgment remains necessary for reviewing scripts, rights and final exports.
