HeyGen is an AI avatar video platform where users type a script to get a video, ideal for marketers and trainers.

About

HeyGen

HeyGen is wild—create professional videos with AI avatars that look and sound real. No camera, no studio, just type your script and pick your virtual spokesperson. You can even clone voices and create videos in multiple languages with perfect lip-sync. It's the future of video production, especially for training, marketing, or any time you need to scale video creation.

But let's talk about the elephant in the room—these are still AI avatars. While impressive, they might not nail the subtle emotions or spontaneity of real humans. Plus, there's the whole ethical thing about deepfakes and digital doubles. Amazing tech, but it might feel a bit uncanny valley for some viewers. What's your take: is the efficiency worth potentially losing that human connection? For authentic human presence without the uncanny valley, consider using real footage enhanced with AI-selected background music and marketing-optimized editing.

Zubtitle is a video captioning tool that helps creators add subtitles, headlines, and resize videos for social media.

About

Zubtitle

Zubtitle keeps it simple: your videos need captions, and most people watch with sound off anyway. Upload your video, let it transcribe, tweak the captions if needed, and choose from their pre-made styles. Throw in some headlines, progress bars, and resize for different platforms—done. It’s the no-nonsense approach to making your videos social-media ready with captions.

But here’s the thing—simple means simple. You won’t find cinematic transitions, layered b-roll, or more nuanced editing tools like fine trimming. It does captions and basic optimization, period. If that’s all you need, you’ll love how fast it is. If you’re chasing storytelling depth or a more polished final product, this probably won’t be your endgame editor.

I saw a colleague sharing a Heygen vid and honestly couldn't believe the results - had to try for myself with an extra critical eye. And...wow.

The platform and service keeps getting improved and has not disappointed us. The intuitive UI lends itself to making avatar videos and pictures a breeze.

False advertisement. I paid what I believed it was only 39 usd for the team plan and came to be 78 usd instead as they charge per user.

Very easy to use. You get two free video credits with their watermark. You have the option to upgrade straight away or you can trial it using the credits

The ease of use for Zubtitle is incomparable. And trust me, I have made some comparisons.

It is very quick and easy to enhance our videos to a social media format, with headline and clear subtitles. I wish it was easier to change the colors.
