Three new AI edit styles to try this summer
Summer always brings a new wave of content trends. Between vacation recaps, and concert clips, there's no shortage of content to post. But keeping up with the editing side is another story.
Captions' AI Edit styles help you turn raw footage into finished videos with a single tap. Whether you're going for nostalgic, bold, or beauty-focused, there's a style that matches the moment.
Here are three AI Edit styles worth trying this summer.
Y2K
Few aesthetics are having a bigger moment right now than Y2K. The look has become a staple across social media, bringing together digital-camera visuals, flash photography, and the unmistakable nostalgia of the early 2000s.
The Y2K AI Edit style recreates that aesthetic in one tap, adding vintage textures, dreamy highlights, and retro camera effects automatically.
It's an especially good fit for the kind of content that tends to fill your camera roll during summer. Travel vlogs, weekend recaps, day-in-the-life videos, and spontaneous updates all take on a more nostalgic, lived-in feel.
Best for:
Travel vlogs
Summer recaps
Day-in-the-life videos
Lifestyle content
Talking-to-camera videos
Chalk
Summer tends to bring more stories worth sharing. A funny travel mishap, a festival recap, a trend you want to weigh in on, or an update from a weekend away.
One of the biggest visual trends in creator content right now is the use of bold outlines that separate the subject from the background and make videos feel more dynamic. While that effect often requires manual editing, the Chalk AI Edit style recreates the look automatically.
The style combines playful outlines, layered typography, sketch-like details, and subtle motion effects to create videos that feel expressive, energetic, and distinctly creator-made.
Best for:
Storytime videos
Commentary content
Creator updates
Reaction videos
Trend-driven content
Bloom
Summer is one of the biggest seasons for beauty content. From vacation skincare routines and SPF recommendations to GRWMs and wellness content, creators spend more time than ever sharing their routines on camera.
The Bloom AI Edit style was created with those formats in mind. Designed for content featuring faces and skin, the style adds warmth through soft peach, cream, and golden tones while creating a natural glow that feels polished without looking overly filtered.
Bloom also takes a lighter approach to motion and typography. Gentle transitions and airy text treatments help keep the focus on the creator, making it a natural fit for content that feels personal, conversational, and close to the camera.
The result is a soft, editorial look that feels right at home in beauty, wellness, and lifestyle content.
Best for:
Skincare routines
Makeup tutorials
Beauty content
Wellness content
Soft lifestyle videos
