New Features ✨

Color Correction

Kapwing now enables users to change the colors in their images and videos, a long standing feature request from our enterprise and consumer customers alike. Under the "Adjust" tab, creators will see sliders for color and lighting adjustment. Try out the six new color tools we've introduced this month:

• Warmth: Shifts the overall color temperature towards yellow (warm) or blue (cool)
• Tint: Balances green vs. magenta tones to fix color casts
• Highlights: Adjusts brightness of only the brightest areas in your video without changing the darker areas
• Shadows: Brightens or darkens the darkest areas of your media without touching highlights
• Whites: Sets the white point and adjusts the brightest pixels, impacting the image's "pop" at the top end.
• Blacks: Sets the black point, controlling depth and contrast in the darker regions of the image.

These adjustment controls can correct unnatural lighting, recover bright areas, boost moodiness, improvement readability, increase perceived clarity, prevent blown-out details, stylize portraits, fine-tune skin tones, add glow effects, and fix light imbalances.

This feature was implemented with low-level code that makes changes to the unoptimized asset, ensuring your video matches in the preview vs the export. Use the "Show Original" to compare your corrected image or video to the original version, helping you to achieve the look you're going for.

Auto Eye Contact

To help creators who make videos while reading off of a script, we added a new AI Eye Contact tool. If you upload a video to Kapwing and want to make it appear that you're looking directly at the camera, try out "Eye Contact" option under "AI Tools" in the right sidebar.

This tool helps creators who look away while recording a video or are not looking directly at a camera, like speakers reading off of their screen or doing a Zoom recording. After processing, the eye gaze will appear to make direct contact with the camera. Kapwing partnered with Texel to launch this AI powered feature.

Publish to Facebook

After making a video on Kapwing, you can now publish it directly to your Facebook page. A popular feature request from our Filipino customers, publish to Facebook enables small business owners and page managers to share videos faster without needing to download and re-upload large files.

To use this feature, create a video on Kapwing and export your project. Once the video has exported, use the "Share" button to publish to Facebook or other social channels. Sign in to Facebook, grant permissions to Kapwing, and select the page that you manage and want to post to. Then, fill in the title, description, and thumbnail, then share.

Note that Kapwing will never publish to your Facebook page without your specific permission. This feature serves Facebook Businesses only, and you must have a Page to use it.

Facebook joins our publish to YouTube and YouTube Shorts options, with more export platforms coming soon!

Subfolders 📂

In the Kapwing Workspace, creators can now sort their projects into subfolders. Organize your work across your team with grouped subfolders, nested within parents folders in the workspace. This feature makes the Workspace cleaner and enables seamless collaboration on your team.
