AI video editing app for creators with auto-captions, eye contact correction, and clip generation
Captions is a creator-focused AI video app that automates the post-production tasks most time-consuming for solo video creators: accurate auto-captions with animated styles, AI eye contact correction that makes recorded video appear to maintain camera contact even when reading notes, background noise removal, filler word detection, and automatic social clip generation from longer recordings. Available on iOS, Android, and desktop.
Captions is a strong fit if its core strengths match your workflow, budget, and support needs. Use the quick signals below before opening the full review.
Captions addresses the post-production bottleneck for solo content creators producing short-form video: the mechanical tasks — adding captions, correcting gaze, removing filler words, finding B-roll — that take hours when done manually but have predictable enough patterns for AI to automate. Its mobile-first design serves creators who produce content on phones rather than desktop editing workstations.
Captions' eye contact AI is its most unusual capability. When recording to a teleprompter, reading notes, or looking away from the camera, the recorded video captures the diverted gaze. Captions' eye contact correction adjusts the eye direction in the recorded video to point toward the camera — making the speaker appear to maintain direct eye contact throughout. For talking-head content where direct camera engagement is a key engagement signal, this corrects a common production limitation without requiring a teleprompter setup.
Captions' animated caption styles are optimised for the visual language of viral short-form content — word-by-word pop-in timing, colour-coded emphasis on key phrases, emoji integration aligned with emotional beats, and speaker-tracking positioning. The caption styles reflect current short-form video aesthetics rather than broadcast-style subtitle presentation. For creators building followings on TikTok and Reels where captions are a primary engagement driver, the visual quality of Captions' output exceeds plain-text subtitle alternatives.
Captions' full feature set operates on mobile — record, edit, caption, and export without requiring a desktop. This makes it the dominant tool for mobile-native creators who produce content entirely from their phones.
Score: 7.1/10 — Best mobile AI video post-production app for short-form creators; requires source video rather than generating content from scratch.
