About Captions
Captions is a video creation and editing tool that uses AI to take raw footage to a finished, shareable clip. It is aimed at people who have little editing experience, offering a chat-based editor in which advanced changes can be requested with simple prompts, while still letting users adjust details manually.
Its AI Edit feature processes an entire video at once: the user picks a style and Captions cuts scenes, overlays B-roll and generates captions. Other tools include automatic captions with stylized fonts, translation and subtitles in more than 100 languages, AI avatars including a personal digital twin, automatic correction of eye contact and noise removal. Avatars can be changed with prompts for outfits, backgrounds or product inserts.
Captions is a hosted commercial product with a free sign-up and a pricing page. It suits creators, marketers and small teams making talking-head, social and explainer videos without a dedicated editor.
