What it is

Captions, made by Mirage, is a mobile video editor that can also make talking videos without filming: AI Twin turns a single selfie into a video of you, and AI actors act as stock spokespeople. Avatars sit alongside its captions, editing and dubbing tools, so videos can be finished in one app.

What the AI does

• AI Twin from a single selfie
• AI actors for spokesperson videos
• Change outfits, objects and backgrounds
• Animated captions and AI editing
• AI ads and skits
