Captions creates and edits video with generative AI, including AI actors, captions in 100+ languages, video translation, b-roll, music and chat-based editing. Paid plans are sold on monthly credits that roll over up to three times the monthly allowance.

Best for

Founders and creators filming their own talking-head ads who want fast captioning and editing.

Not for

Agencies needing multi-client workspaces and ad account integrations, which the pricing page does not mention.

How to get your money’s worth

  1. 01Film founder-led ads on your phone and use auto captions, since many feed viewers watch with sound off.
  2. 02Use translation to produce localised versions of a winning talking-head ad.
  3. 03Watch credit use on AI actor and b-roll generation, as those consume the monthly allowance fastest.
