Captions: AI Short-Form Video

Here’s the truth. I love this app and people may have different opinions. But I appreciate the hard work the team has done to make it possible for me to create videos how I like it. I work around it and it just works great for me. You just have to try it for yourself and explore. So here’s my honest opinion…This app is truly amazing. The best part is the support team. Anytime I have a concern or question they always find a resolution. They respond pretty quick as well which always amazes me. And they’re super friendly and down to earth. They are always upgrading the features here and there. At first, it was annoying because I got used to a certain system, but I didn’t realize that they were adding features to make it easier for us so I appreciate that a lot. More options is always fun. I’ve been a loyal to them for two years now, this is the longest I’ve stayed with a subscription and it’s for a reason. It’s just a good app and team overall. Id say give it a try minimum three months.

I originally felt this app was a strong 4 stars out of 5 but I just went to edit something I’ve been working on for a while and noticed some changes. Basically the ability to see segments of text in that page sort of format has been done away with(?). It makes the playback laggy now. Scrolling through the words has a strong stick to them so that’s also clunky. It also feels like it messes with the timing of the audio as well. Overall, it’s a change that has impacted productivity and workflow. Before it was more satisfying. I’ve made mockups for the apps PixelCut, PicsArt, Eraser, Remini, PixelCut, Canva and Vont, for changes I thought would be beneficial. Every app fell behind except for PicsArt and InShot… the only two who made my mockups real features. And simply due to the positive feedback from those features, they actually pass my emails up the chain and make such changes. I don’t get paid from them. I simply love editing and they make that experience satisfying. I believe you guys are in your own lane, but have sharpened the technological tools when it comes to AI. Please.. revert back to the previous layout, or perhaps even make it an optional feature. Because I’m sure it may be beneficial for some and you guys likely put in a lot of effort to make such a small change. I’ll continue editing to push through the change, so if anything comes up that changes my mind, I’ll update my review.

EDIT: I’m just... redoing my review now. This app does not work for me. I’ve SEEN that it works for others, but for me it didn’t. I’ve had clips where it didn’t pick up my voice at all (and there was NO OPTION to add captions to that clip manually), I’ve had times where it completely switches captions from one clip to another, and I’ve had a clip straight up corrupt and not play (the captions for that clip was still there, but no other remnant of it was. I couldn’t play it, and it simply flickered the first frame of my next clip.) I thought it wasn’t picking up some of my words because I talk fast, which is fine. But the fact that I can’t add captions, even statically to one clip, is beyond me. I can’t rectify this apps errors. I ended up not using the videos I made with this app because I had so many problems with it. If it picks up your words well, you likely will have no problem with this app. There were few inaccuracies in the words it DID pick up, it just didn’t pick up most of my words. Frustrated and hopeful that you guys can figure this out, because I love this app idea and just wish it worked for me. Definitely willing to come back and try again once you think you’ve fixed the problem.
