Overview

Captions (formerly Mirage) is an AI-powered video editing app designed primarily for short-form content creators. It automates tedious editing tasks like captioning, eye contact correction, background removal, and script generation. Captions is mobile-first and particularly popular with TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts creators who want professional-looking videos without manual editing.

The platform's standout feature is AI Eye Contact — technology that corrects your gaze so you always appear to look at the camera, even when reading a script off-screen. Combined with stylish animated captions, AI-powered jump cuts, and a built-in teleprompter, Captions provides an all-in-one creation toolkit.
