Auto subtitles
A clean, easy-to-use interface means you can jump in and start editing without spending hours figuring out where everything is. When the tools are where you expect them to be, you spend less time clicking around and more time actually making something great.
Effects are what give your video personality. A good filter can make shaky, dull footage look polished and intentional. Transitions keep the viewer's eye happy as you move from one clip to the next. Without effects, even well-shot footage can feel flat. With them, an ordinary video can look like it took twice as long to make.
The right track sets the entire mood and keeps people watching. Without music, videos can feel empty and awkward. Having a built-in music library also saves you from worrying about copyright issues, which is a real headache when posting to social media.
A huge number of people scroll through social media with their sound off. If there are no subtitles, they'll just keep scrolling. Auto subtitles solve this instantly by turning your spoken words into on-screen text without you having to type a single word.
