Captions Alternative

A Captions alternative for clipping real footage

Captions leans into AI avatars and talking-head generation. Clipzi does a different job: it takes the long videos you already recorded and turns them into short clips. If you are a clipper, that is the part you need.

What makes Clipzi a better Captions alternative?

Repurpose, do not generate

Clipzi works with your existing podcasts, streams, and interviews. It finds the strong moments and cuts them. There is no avatar to set up, no synthetic voice, just your real footage made postable.

AI clip detection plus moment search

The AI marks clips automatically, and when it misses something you can describe the moment and Clipzi finds it. Built for getting many clips out of one long recording.

Reframe and caption your own video

Keyframe crop to 9:16 or 1:1, speaker detection that follows the talker, and karaoke captions. The clip stays you, not a generated stand-in.

Frequently asked questions

Does Clipzi generate AI avatars like Captions?+
No, and that is on purpose. Captions is built around generating talking-head and avatar videos. Clipzi takes real footage you already have and clips it. Different tool for a different job.
I just want to cut my podcast into clips. Which fits?+
Clipzi. Upload the episode, it finds the moments worth posting, you reframe to vertical and caption. No avatar setup, no script generation, just clips from your recording.
Can I switch from Captions to Clipzi for repurposing?+
Yes. If you were using Captions to chop existing videos rather than to generate avatars, Clipzi is more direct for that. Bring your files (up to 20GB on paid) and start clipping.
What about captions themselves?+
Clipzi adds karaoke style captions with word highlighting and speaker detection. So even on the captioning piece you are not giving anything up.
