How the app works

This is the manual: the first project in order, then each room of the editor, then the fixes. The FAQ answers the shorter questions; for anything neither page covers, contact support.

Your first project

  1. Open the Create tab and start a new project — or record straight into the app with the teleprompter, which scrolls your script while you film yourself.
  2. Pick a video from your camera roll. How long it can be depends on your plan.
  3. Choose the spoken language and the caption language. They are separate choices, from a list of around sixty — speak one language, subtitle in another.
  4. Let it transcribe. The video uploads, the speech comes back timed word by word, and the captions land on the timeline already in place. This is the step that needs an internet connection; editing a transcribed project afterwards does not.
  5. Edit until it is right, then export.

The editor, room by room

Everything in the editor is a panel over one timeline. The timeline is the truth; every panel just gives you different hands on it.

Edit — the timeline

As many clips as the story needs, the captions card by card, the music and each sound on its own lane. Drag a clip to move it; long-press a word to split exactly there; every clip has its own trim, speed, volume, scale and duration. Punch-ins can be set by hand with the zoom control, or proposed by AI Studio.

Captions

The transcript is editable card by card — fix a word and it stays timed to the speech. Caption edits can be stepped back through the project's history if you change your mind.

Style

106 caption styles, and under each one the font, the size and all three colours — text, highlight, background — plus rotation. Greek is set with real Greek type: accents, the final sigma, the lot. A brand kit can pull any face from the Google Fonts catalogue, so the captions can be set in your brand's own typeface.

Audio

AI denoise in three strengths, with a before/after — and it tells you when the damage is distortion it cannot undo. Background music and AI voiceover live on their own lanes. Words you would rather not publish get bleeped, in Greek and English, with the captions masked to match.

Canvas

Canvas presets from the source shape down to 4:5, a choice of how the content fits, and control over what fills the bars when it does not.

Colour

Sixteen looks previewed on your own footage, then the colourist's room under them: adjust sliders, lift-gamma-gain wheels, per-hue HSL and curves, with scopes rendered by the same pipeline as the export. Apply a grade to one clip or to all of them.

AI Studio

AI Studio is the half of the app that reads your footage and proposes the edit. It is part of Premium, and it works under one rule: the model proposes, the timeline decides. Before anything is offered, the app checks the suggestion against your actual footage and gives each one a verdict — Safe (pre-ticked), Needs a look (possible, with a caveat you get to read), or Not possible (greyed out, with the reason). Nothing touches your video until you press apply.

It listens

  • AI Denoise — takes the room away and leaves the voice.
  • Filler Removal — finds the “um”s and the “εε”s, listed before anything is cut — captions only, or the video too.
  • AI Auto Trim — finds the silences and dead air, and shows you every one before removing it.
  • Dub into another language — speaks your translated captions in a real voice, lined up with your edit.

It reads the footage

  • Analyse this video — length, pauses, fillers, audio, and the subjects it covers.
  • Long Video to Reels — finds the moments that work on their own and turns each into its own project.
  • Eye Tracking — keeps the subject where the frame needs them.
  • Multi-camera intelligence — cuts between synchronised angles at the right moments.

It proposes, you decide

  • AI Video Editor — describe an edit; it plans the cuts, the zooms and the captions.
  • Chat to Edit — say what you want changed; it proposes and waits.
  • Continue edit — start the edit yourself; it reads your pacing from the part you cut.
  • Style learning — learns how you edit and proposes in that style.

It dresses the result

  • Generated B-roll — fills the moments the edit marked with a picture — yours, or one made for it.
  • Automatic brand template — your brand's colours and typeface, applied to this project's captions.

AI work spends credits. You get a bundle when you sign up, Premium refills them monthly, and your balance and history are in the app.

Captions and languages

Transcription covers around sixty languages — the full list is in the app when you start a project. The spoken language and the caption language are independent, and a project can go further than text: the dub tool speaks your translated captions in a real voice, lined up with your edit.

Filler removal is plan-dependent on purpose: Basic cleans the hesitations out of the captions; Premium can cut them out of the video itself. In Greek it knows the difference between a hesitation and an elided word — «εε» goes, «απ' το» stays.

Exporting

  • Your plan sets the ceiling — up to 4K, watermark-free on the paid plans.
  • The preview and the export are rendered from the same values — captions, colour, cuts and speed. If they ever disagree, that is a bug we want reported.
  • Captions can also leave as a file: SRT or VTT, for platforms that take their own subtitles.

Plans and credits

Three tiers: Free to try a whole project end to end, Basic for captioning done properly, and Premium for the whole studio with AI Studio included. They differ in video length, monthly transcription minutes, caption styles, export resolution and AI access — the exact figures are on the plans section, and prices are shown by the App Store in your own currency.

Billing is Apple's: subscriptions are managed and cancelled in iOS Settings under your Apple ID, and refunds go through Apple's Report a Problem page — the FAQ has the details.

When something misbehaves

Transcription will not start

Transcription, translation and the AI tools run on our servers, so they need an internet connection. Editing a project you have already transcribed works offline.

The app signed you out

Sign back in. Your projects live in your account, not on the phone, so nothing is lost — and reinstalling the app is never the fix for a session problem.

You applied something you regret

Open the project's history and step back. Caption edits in particular can be undone — an AI proposal you applied is a state you can leave.

Denoise made it worse

Try a lighter strength. Where the problem is distortion rather than background noise, denoise says so honestly — that damage is baked into the recording, and no setting will remove it.

An AI tool is greyed out

That is the capability check, not an error: the tool examined your footage and found it cannot deliver — the row tells you why. A single-camera project cannot be multi-cam cut, and a video with no detected fillers has nothing to remove.

Anything else
