Product Introduction

1. Mirage™ Edit by Captions is an AI-powered video generation tool that transforms text prompts into fully edited talking videos featuring synthetic actors, eliminating the need for manual scripting, filming, or editing. It integrates A-Roll (actor-driven narration) and B-Roll (contextual visuals) into a cohesive narrative, automating transitions, sound effects, and music synchronization. The tool is designed for users without technical expertise to produce professional-quality short-form content in seconds.
2. The core value of Mirage Edit lies in democratizing video creation by bridging the gap between creative ideas and polished execution. It reduces reliance on human actors, cameras, or advanced editing software, enabling rapid production of engaging videos for marketing, education, or social media.

Main Features

1. AI-Generated Synthetic Actors: Mirage Edit creates hyper-realistic, non-existent actors that deliver scripted content with natural expressions, gestures, and lip-syncing. These actors are generated via Captions’ proprietary foundation model, ensuring diversity in appearance, voice, and delivery style.
2. Contextual B-Roll Automation: The tool analyzes text prompts to generate and insert relevant images, video clips, and visual effects that align with the narrative. This includes dynamic transitions, zoom effects, and scene cuts optimized for viewer engagement.
3. End-to-End Editing Suite: Mirage Edit applies AI-driven post-production enhancements such as background music selection, sound effect timing, and pacing adjustments. It ensures videos adhere to platform-specific formatting (e.g., TikTok, Instagram) for seamless publishing.

Problems Solved

1. Technical Barriers to Video Production: Mirage Edit removes the need for filming equipment, editing skills, or hiring actors, addressing the complexity and cost of traditional video creation. Users no longer require expertise in tools like Adobe Premiere or Final Cut Pro.
2. Target User Group: The tool serves non-professionals, marketers, educators, and small businesses seeking to produce high-quality video content efficiently. It is particularly valuable for creators lacking budgets for professional videographers or actors.
3. Typical Use Cases: Common scenarios include generating UGC-style ads, explainer videos, social media reels, or training materials. For example, a marketer can input a product description and receive a ready-to-publish ad with a synthetic spokesperson and branded visuals.

Unique Advantages

1. Narrative Cohesion: Unlike standalone AI tools that generate isolated elements (e.g., avatars or B-Roll), Mirage Edit combines A-Roll and B-Roll into a unified story, ensuring logical flow and contextual relevance. Competitors lack this end-to-end narrative automation.
2. Proprietary Foundation Model: The synthetic actors are powered by Captions’ breakthrough AI model, which outperforms generic text-to-video systems in realism and emotional expression. This model is trained on diverse datasets to avoid uncanny valley effects.
3. Speed and Simplicity: Mirage Edit reduces video production time from hours to seconds, outperforming tools like Synthesia or Pictory that require manual scene adjustments. Users only need a text prompt and style preference to generate publish-ready content.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. How does Mirage Edit ensure the synthetic actors look realistic? The tool uses a proprietary AI model trained on diverse facial expressions, body movements, and voice modulation data, ensuring lifelike avatars. Rigorous testing avoids unnatural gestures or robotic speech patterns.
2. Can I customize the editing style of generated videos? Yes. Users specify editing preferences (e.g., “fast-paced TikTok cuts” or “corporate tutorial pacing”) in the text prompt. The AI adapts transitions, music, and scene duration accordingly.
3. What video formats and lengths does Mirage Edit support? The tool generates videos in standard resolutions (1080p, 720p) and aspect ratios (9:16, 16:9). Output lengths range from 15 seconds to 5 minutes, optimized for platform-specific requirements.
4. Are the generated actors licensed for commercial use? Yes. All synthetic actors are royalty-free, and users retain full ownership of videos created through Mirage Edit. Legal compliance for likeness rights is guaranteed by Captions.
5. How does the AI handle multilingual content? Mirage Edit supports text prompts in 12 languages, with synthetic actors capable of lip-syncing in the selected language. Subtitles and voiceovers can be auto-generated for localization.
