Captions

Captions is an AI-powered video editing application that revolutionizes content creation for social media. Founded in 2021 in New York by Gaurav Misra (CEO) and Dwight Churchill (COO), Captions has raised over $100 million and reached a $500 million valuation in 2024.

The app stands out for its ability to automate the entire video creation process. In just a few clicks, Captions generates accurate subtitles in over 100 languages, adds dynamic visual effects, and produces videos ready to publish on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

Captions' flagship feature is its AI avatar and "digital twin" system. Users can create digital clones of themselves or use customizable AI actors to generate video content without ever filming themselves. This technology relies on foundation models developed in-house.

The chat-based editor allows you to modify videos by simply giving natural language instructions. "Add energetic music," "Change the subtitle style," "Generate B-roll" - Captions understands and executes requests instantly.

Captions also offers automatic generation of music, sound effects, and images to enhance your videos. The credit system provides access to advanced AI features based on your chosen plan, with up to 5,600 monthly credits for the most active creators.
