Why it matters
The event put working creators, not product features, at the center, and the app's reach into 170-plus markets is the base that makes that pitch plausible.
Organizers said the ByteDance-developed editing app passes 660 million monthly active users across more than 170 markets. Twelve speakers took the stage, four CapCut staff and eight creators from Asia, including three from Japan.
The keynote drew 12 speakers: four CapCut staff and eight creators from across Asia, three of them from Japan. The room called out country names during the host's roll call, and cheers came back from the seats.
Designer SHIMAYASU demonstrated Design Studio, placing stick figures to set poses before generating characters, splitting baked-in image text into editable layers, and keeping QR codes readable by hand while letting the AI place them. Kano, who runs a design school under the name CoCoDesign, showed different versions of one design aimed at teens, people in their 20s, and people in their 30s, built from color, font, model, and decoration settings given to AI Lab.
