Edit video and podcasts by editing text
Edit audio and video by deleting, rearranging or retyping words in the automatic transcript, with a full multitrack timeline available when you need it.

Remove background noise, level out voices, and fix misread lines with Regenerate Speech using a clone of your own voice.
Generate subtitles and transcripts in a click, translate video into other languages, and reformat long recordings into shareable vertical clips.

Capture screenshots, screen recordings, and full webpages — viewport or entire page — across mobile, tablet, and desktop breakpoints.
Style and annotate stills and motion clips in the same editor with backgrounds, frames, shadows, arrows, text, and callouts.
Automatic zooms, 3D transforms, and effects turn plain recordings into guided walkthroughs.
On Apple Silicon Macs, AI names, tags, and summarizes captures locally so image content never leaves your device.
