The quickest way to make great videos
You have ideas. You know what you want to say. But somewhere between the idea and the finished video, all your time disappears. By the time you finish one video, you’re too tired to even consider another one.
Captions gives you a better way to make videos, without having to learn complicated tools or manually edit everything yourself. One tool. One simple process.
Here’s the quickest way to make videos in the Captions app or using Captions’ online video editor.
The 3-step workflow
1: Get your footage ready
If you already have footage, it’s quick to import into Captions. Just select footage from your photo library, and you’re ready to edit in seconds. You can also use the video generator to create new footage with an AI avatar or AI twin.
If you’d rather record something new, you can do that in the Captions app. There’s even a built-in teleprompter to help you get better takes.
2: Edit with AI
Now you’re ready to edit. Captions offers both AI editing features and some more traditional manual editing options. Either approach is easier than other tools on the market, so you’re going to get a great video either way.
For the fastest editing workflow, pick “AI Edit.” This powerful feature transforms your raw footage into a fully-edited video that’s ready to export and share. Choose from a massive library of styles with different vibes, pacing and fonts. You can even try a couple different AI styles to see which one feels best for your content and audience.
If you’re just trying to add captions, that’s easy too. Pick “Manual edit," then select your favorite caption style. Captions are automatically generated with accurate transcription and pacing, sparing you fussy edits and confusing timelines.
3: Export and post
When you’re happy with your video, it’s easy to export and share to popular platforms like Instagram or YouTube Shorts. Captions automatically sizes your video for you. Just click the “Export” button and you’re ready to go.
From there, post directly or save to your camera roll. Your video is ready for primetime.

Why this workflow changes what's possible
Consistency is the single biggest factor to grow your audience online. If your video editing workflow takes a lot of time, it’s hard to keep up. A workflow that removes friction gives you an extra boost to keep creating, no matter your schedule or other priorities.
Creators using Captions aren't just saving time. They're posting more frequently, testing more ideas, and building audiences faster because the gap between "I have something to say" and "it's live" is now measured in minutes, instead of hours.
