- **Clips:** Turns one long video into a batch of short clips that are ready to post. Clips is included from the Max plan.
- **Eye contact, denoise and trimming:** Corrects eye contact, removes background noise and cuts pauses and filler words. On Android, eye contact and denoise need the Lite plan.

## Good for

- Creators posting short talking-head videos to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube Shorts
- Marketers producing ad variations with AI actors instead of filming
- People who want captions and translated subtitles added automatically

## Worth knowing

- There is no Mac or Windows app: on a computer it runs in the browser, and projects are stored on the device and do not sync between devices.
- The Android app is Captions Lite, a manual editor. Its $4.99 Lite plan works only on Android; iOS and web need a separate subscription.
- AI Edit, the chat-based editor, Clips and AI Twins start on Max at $24.99 a month, and Prompt to Video uses 16 credits for every 6 seconds.
- The pricing page says its prices reflect iOS plans and lists no yearly prices; Basic and Lite appear only in the help center.
