Captions
AI video editing app for creators — auto-captions, AI edit, dubbing, and AI creator avatars.
About
Captions is a mobile-first AI video editing app built for short-form creators. Its signature feature is word-by-word animated captions synced to speech, alongside AI Edit (which auto-adds zooms, transitions, music, and effects to raw talking-head footage), eye-contact correction, AI dubbing into 40+ languages with lip-sync, and AI Creator digital twins that generate footage of you without being on camera.
In 2025 the parent company rebranded from Captions to Mirage, raised $75M, and pivoted toward building proprietary video models and an enterprise marketing suite — the app remains the consumer product. It competes directly with CapCut, which is free; Captions runs freemium with paid tiers, and heavy users should compare the subscription cost against CapCut's free auto-captions before committing.
