Captions
Captions is an AI video editing app that cuts footage, adds styled captions and B-roll, creates AI avatars and translates subtitles into 100+ languages.
About this tool
Captions started as a captioning app for creators and has grown into a broader AI editor. You choose an editing style and the app cuts scenes, overlays B-roll and adds captions across the whole video in one pass. A chat-based editor then accepts plain-language requests for changes, so people without editing experience can still adjust the result.
Beyond editing, Captions can generate an AI twin of the user or offer stock digital avatars, which can be re-dressed or placed in new settings through prompts. Clean-up tools fix eye contact, strip background noise and remove pauses and filler words. Paid plans use monthly credits for generative features, and long videos can be split into batches of short clips.
What you can do
AI edit styles
A selected style drives automatic cuts, B-roll and captions, and you can switch styles on the same footage in a click.
Captions and translation
Stylised captions are generated automatically, and subtitles can be translated into more than 100 languages.
Digital twins and avatars
Create a twin of yourself or pick an avatar, then change outfits, backgrounds or product placements with prompts.
Recording clean-up
Eye-contact correction, noise removal and filler-word cutting tidy up talking-head recordings.
Who is it for?
- A creator turns a long podcast recording into a batch of captioned vertical clips.
- A small business reuses one AI avatar to explain several products.
- A coach removes filler words and pauses from a phone-recorded lesson.
Before you choose
The free version is limited; most generative features require a subscription with monthly credits, so check how quickly they are consumed.
Digital twins and avatars raise consent questions when they depict real people; use only likenesses you are authorised to use.
Frequently asked questions
Is Captions free to use?
The app is free to download and some features work without paying, but full capabilities require one of the paid plans.
Do Captions credits expire?
Captions addresses credit expiry in its pricing FAQ. Check the current rules before buying a larger tier or bulk credits.
Can Captions edit an entire video automatically?
Yes. After you pick a style, the AI cuts scenes, adds B-roll and captions across the whole video, and you can refine the result.
