# Captions — AI Edit

> Automated video editor applying themed styles, cuts, zooms, and B-roll

AI Edit is an automated feature in the Captions app that transforms raw talking-head footage into finished social videos. Instead of manual timeline editing, it applies curated style presets (like Paper II or Impact II) that automatically insert transitions, zooms, background music, B-roll, and stylized captions. You can further refine results using natural language chat prompts or manual controls.
