Video editors only — not programming concat. Independent comparison. Concat is not an ArtCraft Crafting App. FilmCraft is ArtCraft's Premiere-style NLE. Not CapCut official, not Concat official, not ArtCraft official.
FilmCraft vs Concat: Premiere-Style vs CapCut-Style Video Editors
TL;DR: Three video editors, three jobs. CapCut = commercial social templates. Concat = open-source CapCut-style local editor (jub0t — not ArtCraft). FilmCraft = free Premiere-style multi-track NLE in the ArtCraft suite (still early). Pick by workflow, not by brand lookalike.
- CapCut wins for mature template packs and mobile-first shorts.
- Concat fits CapCut-like local / open-source short-form editing — separate project.
- FilmCraft targets Premiere-style desktop timelines + suite tools — not CapCut Craft.

Who should pick which
- Pick CapCut when you need fast templates, captions, and a polished mobile-first publish path.
- Pick Concat when you want CapCut-like local editing without CapCut's commercial stack — and you are fine following GitHub / concat.standalones.org yourself.
- Pick FilmCraft when you want a Premiere-style desktop timeline inside the ArtCraft suite (Launcher, MCP) and can live with alpha gaps.
