About
Captions is an AI video editor for the web and for iOS and Android phones. Mirage Studio has been merged into it. You upload or record footage, pick an AI Edit style, and Captions cuts scenes, overlays B-roll, adds zooms, music and transitions, and auto-captions the result. A chat-based editor takes changes by prompt. The same app cleans up talking-head recordings: it corrects eye contact, removes background noise, and trims pauses and filler words. It also translates and subtitles in 100+ languages, generates AI avatars and digital twins, and generates music, sound effects, images and video. Captions markets it to creators making short-form social videos, ads, tutorials, podcast clips and product videos. It says it has 20M current users.
Ideal for
Creators who film themselves and want their footage auto-edited into captioned social videos, ads, tutorials or podcast clips, or want to cut a long video into short post-ready clips.

A finished long-form edit from your own recording
Upload a recording of yourself talking to camera. VidRush cuts dead air and filler, layers B-roll, music and auto captions, adds a thumbnail and returns a 6 to 60 minute YouTube edit.
A cost per minute you can work out
Talking-head video runs on Pro + Medium at $1.46 to $2.18 a minute of finished video, by plan. Captions does not state how many credits a minute of AI Edit uses, so its cost per minute cannot be worked out.
Real licensed B-roll with source controls
Pro layers Storyblocks stock video with images and motion graphics. Each Brand Profile can block or prefer specific channels and sites, up to 30 blocked links per profile.
A quote before any credit is spent
The Quote Statement shows format, length, language, model, voice, Brand Profile and estimated credits for you to approve. Credits come off only when the video finishes. Failed or blocked generations cost nothing.
An AI presenter on days you do not film
Persona I builds a presenter-led video up to 40 minutes from your script, with a visual generated for every line, at $0.57 to $0.84 a minute. Use a VidRush avatar or one made from a photo of yourself (beta).
Your channel's style, learned from one video
Train a Brand Profile on one of your own YouTube videos, and new edits follow its editing and script style. Each profile also saves the channel's voice, look and footage rules.
A timeline editor for the last 20%
VidRush gets you about 80% of the way. Fix the rest in the built-in timeline or ask the Rush Agent in plain language, so a weak clip costs a swap, not a regeneration.
One charge covers the whole finished video
One charge covers research, script, voiceover, footage, editing, music, captions and thumbnail, including the first render. Credits come off only when the video finishes, based on its final length.
Pros
AI Edit edits a whole video from a chosen style, with scene cuts, B-roll, zooms, music and transitions.
Talking-head cleanup: eye contact correction, background noise removal, and trimming of pauses and filler words.
Auto captions and translated subtitles in 100+ languages, with 100+ caption templates on paid plans.

Works in the browser and in iOS and Android apps.
Cons
Its pages position it for short-form social videos, ads, tutorials and podcast clips, and state no long-form length range.
The pricing page does not say how many credits a minute of video uses, so you cannot tell how much video a plan buys.
Prices on its pricing page reflect iOS plans only.
Reviewers report the app freezing and settings not saving.
Reviewers report losing or recreating subtitles when adding new clips to an existing timeline.
Reviewers report poor quality in AI-generated images and animation.

It helped me monetize a channel in 1 month.
“So far, the vidrush videos went viral much faster and more often than the ones my editors did. AND, I created those videos in 1-2 hours, with minimal input on my end. Maybe I changed 1 or 2 scenes. The videos turn out very good.”

From zero to 3 monetized channels in 5 months
“In that short time I managed to monetize three YouTube channels. That's something I never would have pulled off so fast with a traditional setup. What used to take my team roughly four days to coordinate, scripting, editing, voiceover, finding the right footage, I can now get done in under 30 minutes.”

“My editors have been in panic mode since I started using vidrush. It makes great videos in a few hours and also create thumbnail for it. The editing is better than 70% of my editors.”

Vidrush is for you if you want good quality videos fast
“With a few prompts or even your own custom script, you can get a video done in around a couple hours, versus possibly days with a normal video editor.”

World-Class Tool, World-Class Support
“VidRush has become the backbone of my entire production workflow. The voice quality, imagery, and video output are genuinely impressive, everything comes out looking and sounding professional without the hours of manual editing other tools require.”

Vidrush is Lifechanging
“Vidrush is insane, I've gotten multiple bangers and made my money back so early that every video afterwards is just playing with house money (one vid hit 1.3M views early on and I barely knew what I was doing back then).”
