Captions App Introduces AI Edit

Video editing app Captions has launched a groundbreaking feature that transforms existing unedited videos by adding custom graphics, zooms, music, sound effects, transitions, and motion backgrounds based on the content. This AI edit feature requires a vertical video with a single person in the frame but also allows users to create videos using AI avatars if they don't have suitable footage. Co-founder and CEO Gaurav Misra emphasized that the goal is to simplify the video-making process, making it easier for people to communicate their messages effectively. The app is aimed at sales, marketing, and communication channels, and plans to add new AI characters weekly. Despite concerns about AI flooding social media with content, Misra believes quality content will still stand out and drive creativity.
