Pros & Cons
Captions
+ AI Eye Contact — auto-corrects your gaze to look directly at camera even when reading notes
+ Script-to-video in under 3 minutes: paste text, choose style, export
+ Auto-captions with high accuracy across 28 languages
+ AI B-roll insertion matches footage to your script automatically
+ Removes filler words (um, uh, like) from audio with one click
− Best results require decent original video footage to work from
− Custom AI avatars only on Pro plan ($39.99/mo)
− Not a replacement for full video production — best for talking-head repurposing
