Captions
AI editing for short-form vertical video, from real footage
Overview
Captions grew from an AI-captioning app into a full video tool that enhances real creator footage, eye contact correction, AI editing, script changes after recording, rather than generating avatars entirely from scratch.
Who it's for
Creators and brands with some real footage who want to polish and edit it faster with AI, rather than generating fully synthetic avatars.
Strengths & weaknesses
Strengths
Enhances real footage rather than replacing it, which keeps an authentic creator feel
Eye contact correction fixes the common problem of creators looking at a script instead of the camera
Strongest specifically for short-form vertical formats: Reels, TikToks, Stories
Weaknesses
Requires real recorded footage as a starting point, unlike fully AI-generated avatar tools
Less suited to bulk-generating ads with zero filming than Arcads or HeyGen
Pricing
Free tier available, paid plans for advanced editing features. Always confirm current pricing on the official site before committing. Software pricing changes frequently.
Our verdict
Captions is the right pick when you have real footage to work with and want AI to handle the editing grind, not when you need to generate video from nothing.
