The eye contact correction feature alone is worth it — makes webcam recordings look like you're looking at the viewer. Auto-captions in trending styles save hours.

Reality Check

Mobile-first means some features feel limited on desktop. But for the TikTok/Reels/Shorts workflow — record, caption, correct eye contact, post — it's the fastest path.

No API, limited export options, mobile-focused. If you need video editing in an automated pipeline, look at Descript or Runway instead.
