Best AI clip and caption generators (2026)

Best for: Multi-cam shoots and roll-over tokens on desktop, plans from £15/mo

Pricing: Plans from £15/mo, or top-ups from £7; unused tokens roll over

A desktop app for macOS and Windows that transcribes, auto-cuts and adds word-by-word karaoke captions, then exports vertical 1080x1920 clips. It also edits multi-camera shoots — drop in 2 to 4 angles and it syncs them by audio and cuts between them automatically — keeps the active speaker in frame when it crops to vertical, and renders a whole folder of clips in one bulk queue. Unused tokens roll over instead of resetting, and the monthly free tokens produce real, watermark-free exports. Best if you shoot with more than one camera, or want a lower entry price and don't want unused tokens to reset.

Best for: Virality scoring and auto-posting at volume

Pricing: Monthly subscription (free tier watermarks and deletes exports)

A browser tool that auto-clips long podcasts and videos, ranks each clip with a virality score, and offers scheduling and auto-posting. Strong if you clip long footage at high volume every month and want predicted-performance ranking built in.

Best for: A template and effect-rich caption suite

Pricing: Monthly subscription

A feature-packed caption tool with a large library of templates, effects and languages. Good if you want lots of built-in styles and are happy paying monthly for them.

Best for: Mobile-first AI video creation

Pricing: Credit-based, with per-minute overages

An app focused on AI editing and generative video with a mobile-first workflow. A fit if you want AI creation features and edit mostly on your phone.

Best for: Low-cost 4K clipping in the browser

Pricing: Low monthly subscription (free plan is 720p and watermarked)

A browser clipper with a low entry price, 4K exports on paid plans, scheduling and an API. Worth a look if you clip regularly and want 4K without spending much per month.

Best for: Turning YouTube videos into shorts

Pricing: Monthly subscription (free tier is limited and watermarked)

A browser tool built around pasting a YouTube URL and getting many clips back, with B-roll, brand templates, scheduling and 28 languages. Best if you repurpose long YouTube videos at volume.

Best for: Marketing teams that need analytics and publishing

Pricing: Monthly subscription from around $49

A repurposing platform with performance analytics, trend analysis and direct publishing. Aimed at marketing teams and agencies repurposing at volume rather than individual creators.
