Clideo is a collection of quick video tools for casual users that helps merge, compress, and resize videos.

About

Clideo

Clideo is like a Swiss Army knife for video tasks—but each tool is separate. Need to merge videos? There's a tool. Compress a file? Another tool. Add subtitles? Yep, different tool. It's all browser-based, super simple, and gets the job done when you need one specific thing fixed fast. No software, no account (for basic stuff), just upload and go.

The catch? It's not really "editing" in the creative sense. Each tool does one thing, so you're bouncing between them if you need multiple edits. And forget about complex projects—this is for quick fixes only. It's utility, not artistry. Perfect when you're thinking "I just need to resize this real quick," not so much for "let me craft a masterpiece." What's your need: quick fixes or creative control? For a unified experience, try tools that combine AI video trimming with sound effects and other features in one platform.

Captions.ai is an all-in-one video creation app that helps creators script, shoot, and caption videos fast.

About

Captions

Captions.ai is built to make your talking-head videos shine—think animated, attention-grabbing subtitles that actually match your tone. The platform lets you style your captions to match your brand and uses speech recognition that nails what you're saying (even if you're mid-rant). Beyond captions, it's got a few AI tricks up its sleeve, like subtly adjusting your eye contact and applying background noise removal so you sound studio-clean without needing a studio.

But here’s the thing—it’s purpose-built for the talk-to-camera crowd. It’s not trying to be a full editing suite, and that’s by design. You won’t be stitching together cinematic sequences or layering on fancy transitions, and it doesn’t dabble much in visual storytelling with things like b-roll. It’s more of a specialist—like the caption stylist and sound engineer rolled into one. So if your workflow is all about delivering strong face-to-camera content, Captions.ai could be exactly what your videos need.

I often try to reduce videos in three web sites and Clideo is always the one which reduces the most

Thank you so much! I was panicking for an MP3 dance when I came across your easy to use App. I will be loyal to you, my SAVIOR App.

I would rate it a Zero if possible. I used professional audio in a 3-min video, but couldn't figure out how to trim it. So I bought the 'premium' or 'pro' to download the highest quality Clideo had to offer. If there was any change, it was only for the worse! I asked for a refund. And hot nothing but harrasment.

Every time - EVERY DAMN TIME! - I export a video from Captions the audio goes out of sync. It's very frustrating and makes a simple job extremely complicated
