CapCut alternative

A CapCut alternative for Arabic: reels and ads from your idea

CapCut is a strong video editor where you cut your own clips on a timeline. Engage Posts starts from your idea, not your footage: it writes the scenes, sets Arabic properly, makes a talking ad in your audience’s dialect, then publishes or schedules it.

Free plan, no card. Arabic and English.

Who this page is for

You run a business or do marketing in Arabic and do not have time to film and edit every week. You want a reel that explains your product, or an ad with a person speaking your dialect, without standing in front of a camera.

Where CapCut is strong

If you film your own footage and need precise editing, CapCut is far stronger: a full timeline, keyframes, motion tracking, green screen, trending templates, generative video and avatars inside the editor, and direct posting to TikTok and YouTube, on phone, desktop and web. Many people use both: CapCut for their filmed clips, and Engage Posts for daily content from an idea.

Where Engage Posts is strong

No filming, no cutting

Write the reel’s idea and its scenes are written for you: a hook, the content, a call to action. In motion templates you change only the text, colours and images.

Arabic that does not break

Every frame is drawn by a font engine that understands right-to-left text, so letters join and your Latin brand name stays in place inside the Arabic line.

A presenter in your audience’s dialect

An ad with an AI presenter speaking Saudi, Gulf, Levantine or Egyptian Arabic, from a script you write or one that is polished for you.

Caption and schedule included

Every result comes with a caption written to each platform’s rules, and on paid plans you publish or schedule to your accounts from one place.

Getting started takes a few minutes

  1. Set your brand once. Your three colours, name, handle and fonts.
  2. Write the idea or pick a template. One or two lines for a reel, or the ad script in your dialect.
  3. Download or publish. An MP4 in the size you picked, with its caption. You can open it in CapCut afterwards if you like.
