@dwightchurchill hey Dwight, how do you handle voice dubs in different languages. I have found it to be the most irritating stuff in every possible similar product. I was looking at English to Hindi translation, but the translation was of comical quality then sounding genuine.
@dwightchurchill @busmark_w_nika thanks so much, Nika! From our iPhone app, you can post your video directly to Reels or save to your camera roll to post later. From web, you can export your video. More to come on this front!
@dwightchurchill Wow, really cool product. I'll definitely use it for my content. Thank you, Dwight! 📸
@dwightchurchill that sounds awesome.
With AI there's great potential for novel video content unattainable before. I wonder if you plan to connect collect data on how engaging content created by your tools are on say Tiktok or Insta to learn what videos collect the most attention so that you can teach AI on what users are sensitive to.
On the other note, how do you approach user engagement and making sure users return to the product frequently? Can you share something? I am very curious.
I am a behavior designer by tade adn lead a BX/UX/UI design studio focused on applying behavioral psychology to effectively drive high frequency engagement. I am passionate about what we do, thus the odd questions.
Captions is awesome! Been using it for a year for content and even content for Product Hunt's social accounts :) and the subtitles feature is the best out there!
I just find it hard sometimes to edit in the mobile and do the very small editing so I'm curious to see changes around that!
Feature request: being able to remove all "supersize" and "emphasize" text in one click 😅
@clara_eloy, wow — that's so cool! Thanks for sharing! Re: very small editing, have you tried web? That's our big launch today, and I'm wondering if that helps with some of the more fine-tuned edits. To turn off supersize and emphasize, you can tap into style from the bottom toolbar on your iPhone, go to emphasize and turn off AI Emphasize. Web has a similar option. LMK if that works!
Thanks so much for your support, Clara-Marie — super exciting!
💡 Bright idea
For the past 6-7 months, I've been using Captions extensively, and it's transformed my approach to social media-first video editing. This app is a godsend for anyone overwhelmed by the time demands of video production or (like me) those unfamiliar with video production. Its AI utilization is remarkably effective, making creative video editing accessible, even for those of us without formal training in the field.
I've become such a fan of Captions that I recommend it to nearly all my friends (all of which are social media creators). It's not just me; it's a game-changer for everyone, streamlining all of our video editing processes and boosting our content output. 🚀
A huge shoutout is due to the Customer Success/Product Support teams (Eli & Mara 👀👀) for their incredible work. For a SAAS product, especially one used intensively by 'power users' (at one point, I was churning out 30-50 pieces of content daily so I hope I fall into that category), having responsive and attentive support/success is crucial. Their willingness to listen to and act on feedback significantly enhances the user experience and makes me a sticky-user even at the points where I don't find myself using the app as often.
In every aspect, Captions crushes it.
@justin_rockmore WOW, thank you for sharing! Creating 30 to 50 clips or videos per day is pretty incredible. We're so happy to be part of your workflow, and really appreciate all of your feedback — it helps us make the product that much stronger!
@justin_rockmore Thank you - really appreciate you calling out some of the team, they're the best!!
This is excellent — the perfect desktop video editor to take the grunt work out of making great videos!
I, for one, make far fewer videos than I should because they just take so damn long to produce and this is exactly what leaning into AI is all about — unlocking the lazy creative in all of us!
I'm here for it.
Amazing website and product looks promising. Nice domain!
I really would have loved to see a pricing section before I commit to signing up. Do you mind sharing that here?
Thanks, @harshdip — appreciate it! That's great feedback. We have a monthly or annual subscription which comes out to about $10 per month.
We use Captions at Product Hunt (as @claraclara_eloy mentioned)! The first time she showed it to me I literally slacked her "captions is sweeeeet." I had been using descript alone for captioning our podcast and Captions was so much better. Congrats on the launch!
So cool, @sarah_wright7 — thank you so much for sharing! Very excited to be supporting the Product Hunt team!
Tried both Mac app and web version, my video just stalls out at 50% of "Creating your project..."
Will try another file but not a promising start.
<3 Captions on iOS, but there are definitely instances where I'd prefer to use the MBP. Can't wait to give it a spin, and congrats on the launch, @dwightchurchill and team!
Captions is one of my absolute GO TO apps. Mobile, desktop and now web - there's no excuse for creators to not have top quality videos to share. Keep winning team!
Wow! Thank you so much, @jameshicks — that means a lot! Appreciate your support. We'll keep shipping 🫡
Really makes me nudging my daughter to learn another language feel more and more out of date! 🤣 congrats team, this looks awesome!
Wow! Looks really amazing and super professional! Going for a test ride just now. Keep it going!
Yet can't find the pricing section, it would be a shame to find out it to expensive for at the moment you want to export the edited video after all effort and time.
@justinasg thanks, Justinas — excited to hear what you think! That's great feedback. We have a monthly or annual subscription that comes out to about $10 per month.
Since there are many AI video generators out there, how is Captions better than them?
@shushant_lakhyani, our focus with this launch is on making video editing simple vs. helping with video generation. Once you have a video you've recorded (or created!), we help you make it look good. We've found that giving it that level of polish — correcting eye contact, adding transitions, images, sound effects, captions!, plus translating and resizing — can be the hard bit. By making all that a one-click editing process, we hope more people will create videos they're proud to share.
I loved using this app! I'm a huge fan of Alex Hormozi and his content and this is such an easy way to quickly make similar subtitles. I also like how customizable it is and how much time it saves you compared to manually doing these yourself - which I used to do, and which cost me at least 1.5h every time.
@fabian_m, thanks so much for sharing! Love that it's been a huge time savings for you — doing all of this manually takes so much time 😅 which is why I'm so glad @dwightchurchill and @gmnew built Captions. Really appreciate your support!
I'm really excited to see the video editing space moving like this. It's something that essentially pushed me out of YouTube content creation (along with thumbnail creation). Congrats on the launch!
One of the best AI tools you can ever use as a content creator! We in our company use it all the time with our clients.
So glad to hear it, @genni_media — thanks for sharing! Appreciate your support!
I've been a regular user for the past year. I am happy to be a part of this amazing app. Keep it up!
Captions is my go to. I use multiple apps to edit and create content, but I still have yet to find an app that can do captions as good as Captions. Sounds kind of funny doesn’t it? The templates are eye catching and will certainly increase your videos retention rates. I love how it can generate the captions for you even if there’s background music playing, the other apps I used would always make mistakes.
It’s not just a captions app though, you can edit quite thoroughly and use the AI features they provide to make your videos more engaging and appealing. I’m a UGC Creator and this has made my job so much easier. For instance, the AI music feature, I don’t have to worry about licensed music and possibly getting a claim.
Overall, if you’re an editor whether it’s your job or you do it for fun, Captions will cut the time you spend editing with other apps in half. Unless your video requires extensive editing of course! I’m looking forward to what may come next for Captions. They’ve already went above and beyond to make this app look good and feel easy to use. Every cent is worth it!
That's so great to hear, @kyler_nagel — thanks so much for sharing! We really appreciate your support, and we're excited for what's next!
Thanks to Captions and Team for this. I burned out on my YouTube Journey and stopped for about 18 months. It was Captions that gave me a second life! Now I am back to growth and content creating with a better auto system.
Now I can create shorts with subs and edit within ten minutes.
I can create long form YouTube videos without a powerful editing MacBook Pro. Instead I do it all on my phone.
I am very grateful for captions fast form factor tools.
Why captions and not others? It’s the community and practical tools which works so well on my iPhone. No failure, no error (min) and great workflow!
