Captions
AI that edits like a professional editor would
What is Captions?
Captions, developed by Mirage (formerly known as Captions), is a mobile-first AI-powered video creation and editing platform launched in 2021. It automates video editing workflows—including auto-captioning, scene selection, dubbing, avatar generation, and style application—making polished social-ready content accessible without editing expertise. The platform blends prompt-based editing, natural-language chat editing, and adaptive visual style application to transform raw clips or scripts into finalized videos across iOS, Android, and web. Mirage positions Captions as a tool for creators, marketers, and developers—ranging from solo influencers to agencies—enabling them to produce captioned, translated, and avatar-based videos at scale. Its monetization model is built around a credit-based system that powers generative features, with basic editing available even on the free tier.
