Captions, the AI video editor by Mirage, is made for the phone: you film yourself talking in its app, or upload a video, and it cuts it, captions it and adds B-roll in one go. Dailies starts somewhere else, in the calls you already hold in Chrome, and cuts captioned vertical shorts from their best passages. Both end with you on screen and your words in captions. What separates them is whether you have to make a video first.
Checked against Captions’s own site on October 1, 2026.
Dailies
For people who will not find the time to film, and whose best advice is already said out loud in client calls on Meet, Teams or Zoom.
Captions
For people who film themselves on purpose, mostly on their phone, and want one app to cut, caption and dub the result, or to generate an avatar video.

Captions is an AI video editor made for the phone, with iOS and Android apps and a web version. You record in the app or upload existing footage, and it edits a talking video in one pass: cuts, zooms, B-roll, music, transitions and captions, in more than 100 caption styles and more than 100 languages, with automatic emojis. It removes unwanted pauses and filler words, corrects eye contact, removes background noise, and translates a video with dubbing and lip sync. It also generates videos with an AI twin or digital avatars. Its Clips feature takes a YouTube link or a file of up to 3 hours or 10 GB, picks 30 clips or more, scores them, and frames them for vertical or horizontal formats with faces kept centred.
The ways into Captions that its site describes are filming in its app, uploading footage, or giving its Clips feature a YouTube link or a file. All three suppose a video made on purpose, or one that already exists. Dailies supposes nothing of the kind: it records the call you hold in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom (its web client), with the call tab, your microphone and your webcam, and the shorts arrive a few minutes after you hang up.
We found no call recording and no Zoom, Google Meet or Teams import on the Captions pages we read. To cut a call with it, you would record the call with the platform, download the file and upload it to Clips, within its limit of 3 hours or 10 GB. Its clips keep faces centred; how it lays out the two sides of a call is not described on those pages. Dailies records your webcam on a track of its own and crops your guest’s tile on their face, so each short shows whoever speaks, full screen.
A video you film alone has no guest. A client call has one, who came for advice and may not want to appear in a post. In Dailies, one switch blurs your guests and disguises their voice in every short. We found no guest blur and no voice change on the Captions pages we read.
A phone app to film with, more than 100 caption styles, eye contact correction, dubbing with lip sync, B-roll, AI avatars, and any video as input. None of these exists in Dailies, which handles only the calls it recorded, offers fifteen caption styles, and hands you each short in Full HD to post yourself.
Not as far as its site describes. The pages we read present filming in its app, uploading footage, or giving its Clips feature a YouTube link or a file. We found no call recording and no Zoom, Meet or Teams import there, so a call would be recorded by the platform first, then uploaded. Dailies makes that recording itself, in Chrome.
Yes. Its Clips feature takes a YouTube link or a video file of up to 3 hours or 10 GB, picks 30 clips or more with an AI, scores them, and frames them for vertical or horizontal formats with faces kept centred.
No. Dailies does not edit a video you film or upload: it only makes shorts from the calls it records in Chrome. For a video shot on your phone, an editor such as Captions is the tool to use.
No. Dailies records the calls you already hold in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, webcam included. A few minutes after the call, it delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts cut from its best passages.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
