Captions

What it does

Captions takes in video footage you upload or record on your phone or computer and returns a finished, edited video. Its AI Edit feature applies a chosen style, cutting scenes, adding zooms, B-roll, music and transitions. It also generates automatic captions with stylized fonts, translated subtitles in 100+ languages, AI avatars (including a digital twin of yourself), and generated music, sound effects and images.

People use it to turn raw clips into short-form social videos, ads, podcast clips and tutorials without manual timeline editing. A chat-based editor lets you request changes in plain prompts, and cleanup tools handle filler words, pauses, background noise and eye contact. Its distinct angle is whole-video AI editing in selectable styles, combined with generative avatars and footage in the same app.

It suits creators, marketers and beginners who want fast output rather than detailed manual control. Signing up is free, but generative AI features and the more advanced tools need a paid plan, and the free version is limited to basic tools. Generative features run on a monthly credit allowance. Prices shown are noted as iOS plan prices, so web or Android costs may differ.
