What they are

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.

Opus Clip

Opus Clip uses AI to analyze long-form video content and extract the most engaging moments as short clips sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Creators, marketers, and podcasters use it to repurpose existing content without manual editing. The AI scoring system ranks clips by predicted virality, which is a useful starting point, though its judgment does not always align with your specific audience.
