What is Captions?
Tired of spending hours editing videos only to end up with something that still looks amateur? Captions is an AI-powered video editor that works like a pro—cutting, styling, and polishing your raw footage so you don’t have to. Whether you’re a small business owner, content creator, or just someone with a great idea, Captions helps you turn that idea into a ready-to-share, high-quality video in minutes, no editing skills required.
Built by Mirage in New York City, Captions isn’t just about speed—it’s about taste. The AI doesn’t just slap effects on your clips; it intelligently selects cuts, adds relevant B-roll, syncs captions, and even adjusts eye contact for a natural look. Plus, with tools like custom AI avatars and script-to-video conversion, you can scale your content without hiring a film crew.
