AI editing for talking-head video on iPhone
Captions edits the kind of video where somebody talks to the camera. It cuts the pauses, animates the subtitles and can generate the B-roll, music and sound effects that go around what you actually shot. The AI actor feature produces footage of a presenter from a script, either an invented one or a twin of you. Its pricing covers the iOS plans and the page says so rather than leaving you to find out.
Our note
This is the strongest of the phone-first AI editors and the least useful if you already own a desktop workflow. Treat the credit allowance rather than the monthly price as the real limit.

Filler words and mouth sounds removed
Cleanvoice takes a finished recording and strips out the parts nobody wants to hear: filler words, mouth sounds, breaths and dead air. It handles video podcasts as well as audio and hands back a timeline export you can drop into whatever you edit in. Billing counts hours of audio processed rather than seats, so an occasional show is cheap to run. Credits bought outright stay valid for two years.
Our note
Buying by the hour rather than by the seat is the right shape for a fortnightly show, and it is why this beats a general editor's subscription for that use. Descript is the better buy if you want to edit the words as well as clean them.
