Captions
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.
Only on this side
- Covers short-form & clipping
- Works with Facebook
invideo AI
A prompt in, a narrated video out
invideo AI takes an idea in a sentence and returns a video with stock clips, a script, a voiceover and captions, then lets you fix it by typing corrections rather than by dragging on a timeline. That is a different way to work and it suits people who write faster than they edit. Everything is metered in credits, and unused ones do not carry to the next month.
