Captions

Captions is an AI video editor and generator built by Mirage, an AI research company headquartered in New York City. The consumer and enterprise apps automate the most time-consuming parts of video production — cutting scenes, adding B-roll, inserting music and sound effects, generating and styling captions, dubbing into 30+ languages, correcting eye contact, and generating entirely new videos from a text prompt or a selfie via AI Avatars, AI Actors, and AI Twins. The Mirage Video API (api.mirage.app) exposes this pipeline to developers: asynchronous AI video generation, adding stylized captions to videos, caption-template discovery, text-to-speech audio, and meta text overlays. Authentication is a simple x-api-key header, keys are minted in the Mirage platform dashboard, and long-running jobs are polled for status.

Captions publishes 7 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Audio API, health API, internal API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Company, Video, Artificial Intelligence, Video Editing, and Video Generation.

Captions’ developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, pricing, and 20 more developer resources.
