Captions is an AI video creation and editing app specifically designed for talking-head videos β the format that dominates LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Its core features are auto-generated animated captions (the bold, word-by-word style you see everywhere), AI eye contact correction that makes you appear to be looking directly at the camera even when reading a teleprompter, filler word removal, and background noise reduction.
The eye contact correction is the sleeper hit feature β it uses AI to subtly shift your gaze in post-production so you appear engaged with the viewer rather than looking down at notes. Combined with the built-in teleprompter (so you can read your script without looking away from the camera) and auto-generated styled captions, Captions can make a phone-recorded video look much more polished than the raw footage suggests.
Captions is unabashedly focused on talking-head content for social media β it doesn't try to be a general video editor, and that focus shows in the quality of its AI features for that format. If you create tutorial videos, thought leadership content, product demos, or personal brand content to camera, it's one of the fastest ways to go from recorded video to publishable, captioned short-form clip. For b-roll heavy videos, interviews, or long-form storytelling, a more capable editor is needed.
