AI captions and edits that turn raw footage into viral shorts in minutes
Automatic transcription with animated caption styles modelled on proven viral formats, plus a custom-word dictionary and saved templates so your branding stays consistent.
Cuts, b-roll, motion graphics, auto-zoom, silence and bad-take removal, filler-word cleanup and background music are applied automatically, then remain fully editable in the browser.
Slice long recordings into standalone shorts and generate translated captions so a single video can be published to multiple language audiences.
Schedule and publish to TikTok, Reels, Shorts and other platforms, then track performance without leaving the tool. Brand kits keep logos and assets on hand.
