Captions

Captions started as a captions app and grew into a full AI video editor for short-form. Podcasters mostly use it after a moment is already chosen: burn captions, clean eye contact or noise, restyle, then export for Reels, TikTok, or Shorts.

It is stronger as a polish and generation layer than as a find-the-viral-minute engine. Roundups often pair Opus Clip (or similar) for moment finding with Captions or Submagic for final look. That split is honest.

Pricing is credit-shaped. Basic covers a lot of caption and cleanup work. Max and Frontier unlock the heavier AI Edit and generative stack. The free tier is real, but thin once you want AI editing.

If your bottleneck is making finished social video look sharp, Captions belongs on the shortlist. If your bottleneck is choosing which moment to post, start with a dedicated clip finder instead.

Turn talking-head or episode footage into captioned, stylized shorts with AI edit tools. Confirm current credit burn and queue times on your plan before you rely on it for a weekly publish day.
