Captions

What it is for

Captions is an AI video editor for talking-head footage: drop a clip and the product captions, trims, and generates B-roll. Use it when the job is finish a talking-head short, not when you need a stock-from-script tool.

It is not open source. A Free row exists on the comparison table. Max is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is Captions’ official web result page from the Add Captions help article — talking-head preview, Style panel, and a frame strip.

Key features

• Web result / editor — preview, Style, Download, and a clip strip (cover).
• Captions in 100+ languages — templates and keyframes on paid cards.
• AI Edit / Clips / chat editor — one-tap styles and a chat-based revise loop on Max+.
• Generative extras — AI actors, music, SFX, images, video, lipdub, translate (Max / Frontier).
• Credits — Max 500/mo; Frontier 1,400/mo (2x / 4x usage multipliers on the card).

Who it's for

Best fit: creators who already film themselves and want captions plus generative B-roll in one app.

Poor fit: people who start from a blog URL (Pictory) or a meeting bot (tl;dv).
