Remove mistakes with AI

  • Quickly clean up your footage with Captions’ video splitter feature. Whether someone misspoke, the camera shook, or the lighting shifted halfway through, our tool lets you cut out those not-so-great moments and stitch your best scenes back together in seconds.
  • Once your timeline is trimmed and polished, the photo video maker tool helps you bring it to life. You can add logos and custom visuals right on top of your footage and adjust them with simple drag-and-drop tools.

Add quality sound effects

Customize your content further with personalized sound effects. In the editing interface, just tap the “Sounds” button to browse curated audio or generate your own with AI. After you add the sound to the timeline, adjust the timing and volume or delete it if you prefer to restart. When paired with the image-to-video feature, these audio effects give your videos a more polished feel. Whatever you’re creating, the added sound draws attention to key moments and makes your content seem more professional.

Reach a wider audience

  • Captions’ video caption generator helps you connect with viewers who are hard of hearing or watching with the sound off. Just upload your video, choose the spoken language, and watch as the tool generates accurate subtitles using voice-to-text technology. If you want your content to reach a global audience, use this feature to easily translate your captions into multiple languages.
  • Plus, with the pic-to-video maker, your captions become part of your visual story. Change the font, emphasize important words, and animate phrases.
