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.

Captions, b-roll and hooks on a vertical clip
Submagic takes a clip and gives it back captioned in the style short-form audiences now expect, with the emphasised words coloured and the timing tight against the audio. Cutting a long recording into clips is a paid add-on rather than the base product, which is the thing to check before comparing it with Opus Clip. Three watermarked videos a month are free, which is enough to see whether the caption style suits your face.
Our note
The captions are the reason to buy it, and they are better than the default in most editors. Opus Clip is the comparison for finding the clip; Submagic is the comparison for making the clip worth watching once found.
