Captions.ai is an all-in-one video creation app that helps creators script, shoot, and caption videos fast.
About
Captions
Captions.ai is built to make your talking-head videos shine—think animated, attention-grabbing subtitles that actually match your tone. The platform lets you style your captions to match your brand and uses speech recognition that nails what you're saying (even if you're mid-rant). Beyond captions, it's got a few AI tricks up its sleeve, like subtly adjusting your eye contact and applying background noise removal so you sound studio-clean without needing a studio.
But here’s the thing—it’s purpose-built for the talk-to-camera crowd. It’s not trying to be a full editing suite, and that’s by design. You won’t be stitching together cinematic sequences or layering on fancy transitions, and it doesn’t dabble much in visual storytelling with things like b-roll. It’s more of a specialist—like the caption stylist and sound engineer rolled into one. So if your workflow is all about delivering strong face-to-camera content, Captions.ai could be exactly what your videos need.

Opus Clip
Opus Clip turns long videos into short, viral clips using AI. It's built for fast repurposing, mainly for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
About
Opus Clip
If you’re a creator trying to pump out viral clips from long-form videos in minutes, Opus Clip feels like magic. Drop in a YouTube podcast, webinar, or talking-head video, and boom—it spits out a handful of short clips with snappy cuts and big captions, already framed for social. For speed demons and time-crunched creators, it’s a “drag and done” kind of tool that gets you clips without blinking.
But here’s where the magic wears off: you don’t get much say. You can’t pick the exact moment where your guest dropped that golden quote. You can’t finesse the captions or polish the pacing. Opus decides, not you. If you're an editor, an agency, or just someone who actually cares about tone and timing, this feels like handing your footage to a stranger and hoping for the best. So yeah—it’s fast. But is it your voice, your message, your brand?

Ron Lucarelli
I’ve subscribed to and waded through the various capabilities of this program with workable results. However, there was a lot of self-tutoring involved since there weren’t such instructions forthcoming from the software.
Klinger Lurentt
This software is a break through in technology. It can sabe you tons of time by selecting portions of the video that identifies as potential to become a reel or short.
Dr. JOHN Sheehan
At first, this program was amazing, but with each system upgrade, it has gone from better to worse, and customer service is useless for me now. Give you an example, TikTok over the last 90 days, not one video has been accepted and requires editing, but when I download the same video clip from Opus and manually upload it to TikTok

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI clip maker work?
An AI clip maker scans long-form videos or podcasts using artificial intelligence to automatically identify the most engaging moments, then slices them into short clips with captions, animations, and transitions. It's a powerful way to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
One thing to note is that an AI clip generator is not necessarily an AI video generator.
Can AI-generated videos be monetized on YouTube?
Yes, as long as your AI-generated videos follow YouTube's monetization guidelines and add original value—like commentary, visuals, or voiceovers—you can absolutely monetize them. AI tools help you create faster, but your creativity is still the magic ingredient.
How do I add a text-to-speech voiceover?
Most AI video editors have a text-to-speech option built in—just type your script, choose your AI voice, and click generate. It’s an easy way to add professional voiceovers to explainer videos, product demos, or tutorials without recording anything yourself.
How does text-to-video AI work?
Text-to-video AI turns written text prompts into fully edited video content—complete with visuals, animations, subtitles, and voiceovers. It automates video production so creators can go from script to video clips in minutes instead of hours.
How to switch the AI Avatar’s voice category?
Most AI avatar tools have voice categories based on tone or language—you just head to the voice settings and pick a different category (like professional, energetic, or friendly). It’s like casting the perfect voice actor, but instantly.
What are the top AI tools for generating video clips?
Top AI tools like Submagic, Pictory, and Descript make it incredibly easy to generate short clips from long-form content. They handle captions, visuals, templates, and even AI voiceovers—ideal for creators repurposing webinars, podcasts, or YouTube content into snackable, engaging videos for social media platforms.
