by @koccyx

honestly, despite the flaws that the older version of pocketvideo had, it was still completely usable. it had many features that other free apps didn’t have, and it was always fun to work with. things like greenscreen compatibility and whatnot made AutoCaptions fun to use. When i opened AutoCaptions again, however, i was definitely confused about what has changed. looking for the features i fell in love with, i realized how much content was removed in AutoCaptions . AutoCaptions itself has dumbed down into an obsolete video editing software that only supports video filters. it almost feels like a completely different app, which is most definitely worse. i don’t know why the previous features were removed, but it was probably one of the worst things to ever happen to AutoCaptions. once a unique and resourceful video editing software, now a retarded one trick pony. how sad.

I was editing my video perfectly fine, some problems here and there with the texts and stickers and having a hard time being able to edit/move them again. They save while I’m trying to move them as well which is annoying. But while I was editing it came in good use to use the text bubble options. Those didn’t work so I used another one which was fine at first. Then later on I tried to put a sticker on, and it froze and said loading. I waited a while first, nothing happened. I then force closed AutoCaptions and when I went back on it all the work I did was all over the place! The sticker that caused it to freeze had sound and was supposed to go at the end of the whole video (I was almost finished.) But when I opened AutoCaptions again, the sound only was at the beginning and the texts I had on it were messed up. Some parts of it were missing as well. There was no way to fix it either because of how it saves. So I had to delete the whole thing. AutoCaptions also makes my videos change color and become more dull and less clear. AutoCaptions would be so much better if these problems were resolved and if it was easier to use.

AutoCaptions is what I used to use to edit but now you can’t even edit anymore? All you can do is export videos you already have. I’m not sure if this is a bug or what not but what’s the point of having AutoCaptions if I can’t even edit with it. Uninstalled, I give it one star but I wish I could give it 0. I can’t edit at all like I used too, it screws up my video without me doing editing. Now all it is is a pathetic video saver. Change this now. Your performance is screwed up so badly that I can’t even edit. I fail to put out content because of this update. AutoCaptions used to be my go to. Now all there is are bad apps with watermarks everywhere and paid trials. Fix your app please. EDIT: so I downloaded the most recent update and nothing changed at all. I’m disappointed

by Ethano17

This is just extremely disappointing. AutoCaptions went from one of the best video editors on AutoCaptions store to one of the worst in one update. I have no idea how you could possibly mess up this bad. Everyone loved Pocket Video before the update but now there are considerably less features and the new UI page is ridiculous. Very cluttered and hard to edit videos. Green screen effect, adding text, even cropping video capabilities are now gone?? This update completely ruined AutoCaptions . I came onto AutoCaptions just today to edit a video for Instagram which I have been using for years, but I come to AutoCaptions to see that the features I wanted to use were gone and the UI menu is very bad. I ran here to write a review here and I see that nobody else is happy with this update. You messed up bad. Fix it.

I was just using AutoCaptions last week thinking that it was fantastic and there was nothing like this on AutoCaptions Store, but then the new update came. I was just about to add text to my video when I realized I couldn’t. I can’t even edit at all with my iPad horizontally, it has to be vertical. And all I can do now is add music, and a bunch of different filters. This has just changed AutoCaptions from one of the best editors on AutoCaptions Store to one of the worst. This will no longer ever be useful to me in any way at all. It’s kind of sad considering all the time I have used pocket video, whether it was for school projects, or just making videos for fun. Now I was in utter shock when I saw what it had become. Nothing needed to change, no new interface was necessary, and I can assure you taking out all of the features was not necessary. Now I have no good way of editing videos, which is really sad because I had just gotten back to making videos. This has changed AutoCaptions to quite possibly one of the worst apps on AutoCaptions Store, and I would love if it were to change back to its original state, or at least gave us the option for us to go back to it. I can no longer seeing AutoCaptions provide use to anyone at all. I am just really disappointed with it.

by Butt Face Head

this is the WORST editing app for iphone. it won’t let you put any video sticker on it. 😑 i couldn’t be more disappointed. the creator of AutoCaptions was probably so dumb. 😤 it may be good for ipad or any other device but for iphone it doesn’t work! if i had a app i would make it useful for everyone. not just ipad users. i have so much to say about AutoCaptions that’s negative it’s not even funny. AutoCaptions needs to be taken off AutoCaptions store and it should not be able to download until it can satisfy all users. EVERY SINGLE TIME i tried to add a video sticker it said unsupported video format. again why would it not be useable for all device users. this is so dumb. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND. no good things to say about AutoCaptions. i could do the same things AutoCaptions can do but the others actually work. no one should download this. if the owner of AutoCaptions sees this i would like to tell him that he needs to update AutoCaptions to make it that all users can use his app. i cannot stress my opinion enough!

Are you kidding me. I’m not trying to be rude but, you literally changed AutoCaptions to a video saver😂 You had this amazing editing app going for you and then you’re like, “Ooh! Lets change AutoCaptions to a video saver!” Like wth😑😑 AutoCaptions was amazing and now it’s worse than editing in the photo library. YOU CANT EVEN REALLY EDIT IN THE PHOTO LIBRARY. And this is literally supposed to be an editing app😑 Also you should probably change your description “Most Powerful Editing App” sure was before! But you gotta change it knowing 1. You can’t even crop the video. 2. You now literally only have 7 options for customization of the video, and 3. All you are doing is saving the video with slight tweaks that can be easily added in the photo library itself✋😂🤧 No offense but Idrk what you guys were thinking with this update. Also I’m terribly sorry if I sounded rude in this review, I’m just disappointed, mad, and a bit confused lol😂 Ok bye now have a wonderful day if you read through my rant review👋😂

by Denesaur

I was in so much shock when I opened AutoCaptions , everything changed and I was in disbelief. There was no tutorial of the new features (well, there’s less now.) You couldn’t even put a text nor I couldn’t find the green screen button, stickers, ect. It was also hard to see since it was so zoomed in. I also miss the feature where you can change the width and the height of the box. I tried editing a video in it and it kept glitching when I played the video and also changed the color for absolutely no reason when I pressed nothing. I used to use AutoCaptions when I was young and I loved it since there was so much features in it to edit. Sometimes when I play the video it makes the video really fast and short, which I think it’s a glitch. Even when I try to download the video it kicks me out of AutoCaptions . Needless to say, I really miss the old one and would hope it would come back...

by Lilbug9

I loved to use AutoCaptions for editing, but when I went to edit with it today I found that it had completely changed and I could not longer do anything further than adding music and filters. What happened?! Now it can do pretty much the same thing as IMovie or the photos app on iPhone, which deems AutoCaptions completely pointless and useless for me to use as what set it apart originally and made me want to get it was its ability to do different editing things. It has basically become a tik tok video editor, which can be done in the regular photos app or iMovie. Please change it back to the original as I loved it and thought it was very helpful and easy to use for video editing, while now AutoCaptions has changed completely and is not very helpful for video editing at all.

by Mazobo_Jo

AutoCaptions used to be on par with paid mobile editing apps, then they rolled out an update stripping all editing features in favor of garbage filters and PRE chosen songs. doesn’t even have a timeline any more. Tragic waste of what was one of the best mobile editing apps.

Update: the developers said they are working on adding back features, I’m hopeful, but pay walls may be in the near future. I’m glad they didn’t abandon AutoCaptions and I am boosting the rating to 3 stars since they seem to be putting in effort to fix the problems the community has been complaining about.

by Boricua 5141

I love AutoCaptions it has all this background music voiceovers green screen and stickers but it always downloads assets it says “it will only happen once” but it doesn’t!! I always have to wait and it’s so annoying especially if I’m in a hurry. I never use AutoCaptions anymore since that and even if I try it takes like ten minutes to do it. And the music doesn’t start when you want a certain part of the song. I also have problems like sometimes when I save it goes to my main screen. Also you have to do the video within five minutes like not the whole thing but the parts well I think but I’m pretty sure. It would be nice if you can fix this but take your time sincerely-Camera editor (not my real name)

by Cookie Lover_sloths!

AutoCaptions was good, I used to be able to edit just fine, and I used it not too often, but a lot of the time when I did find myself editing. Anyway, around a month ago, even thought when it would load and TAKE FOREVER, it said it would only happen once. However, now whenever I try to use AutoCaptions , it loads and takes suuuper long every sing time. Most of the time, it doesn’t even end up finish loading. Even when I do get the ‘lucky’ chance to use AutoCaptions, the green screen doesn’t work, as well as the sticker, animations, and loading any type of thing into my video. At first I thought it was my device, but it happens to my moms phone too when I downloaded it and tried editing on there instead. Sorry for this long reveiw, but PLEEEASE fix it ! I do in general like AutoCaptions, and wish I could use it. If any of the developers see this, please comment so I know you’ll do your best to try and fix it.

AutoCaptions, I don’t get why there are bad reviews but to me, it’s amazing for my intro! But I can give you some suggestions

Suggestions: I needed a green screen app so I don’t have to use video star for a bad green screen. It’s a video and I needed a good quality green screen unlike video star. So I suggest you could make a green screen background and yeah! It would totally add up 1/2 a star to be a five star!

Problem: When I was done saving my video, I forgot to put something on it and look what I see: FONT TURNED NORMAL. I mean, I didn’t put that font up but it turned normal for some reason! I didn’t expect that to happen though(yes I fixed it). But the fix of that problem would totally add up 3/4 a star to complete the 5 star. Also, I can’t save my video.

This Video editor is perfect but I have only one complaint, Every single time I go into AutoCaptions it says “Downloading Assets, It Will Only Happen Once!” Then you have to wait 5 minutes for these “Assets” to download and sometimes it won’t even load and you have to reopen AutoCaptions a bunch of times for it to actually load!
Then the: “It Will Only Happen Once!” statement is very incorrect for it Happens every single time you open AutoCaptions ! Now this makes me and possibly other users very, very, suspicious because you already downloaded AutoCaptions and it’s data so why would it have to download even more? —————————————————————————————— But everything else is perfect and the features of AutoCaptions are amazing would recommend if they fix the problem that I stated above.

This apps pretty good. It’s not the most refined or professional, but it’s a good app for beginners or people just wanting to lightly edit their videos.

There are a few things that I’ve had a hard time with though. The overlay feature is a little unrefined. What I mean by this is that you overlay a picture on a video scene and you’ll painstakingly set the overlay to end right before the scene changes, but then the overlaid pic goes into the next scene.

The other issue I’ve found is that when I download a video to edit, AutoCaptions actually brightens the video without my consent. I couldn’t find a way to undo this and when I’d try to download again, AutoCaptions still brightened my videos. Now, this probably wouldn’t be too bad for an amateur edit, but, in my particular case, the auto-brightening effects just made my clips look washed out.

This is a pretty solid app for amateur editors. One thing I’d wish more apps incorporated though is animation effects to the overlay. I’ve found a few that do this, but they only add an intro, outro, or idle animation. The thing I’m looking for and I think more apps need to incorporate is the ability to make a path for the overlaid pic to follow on and being able to adjust the speed. This would’ve saved a LOT of time in my frame by frame edits.

by BigmanDiesman

I think that AutoCaptions is amazing! You can use green screen, add background music, export it to any social media’s, overlays... this is AutoCaptions that I have been looking for!
But, there are some pros and cons about AutoCaptions.
Pros: You can use a iTune music for free even though you can use just a part of the song. You can use green screen (it helps me a lot). You can overlay videos over photos or videos. it’s easy to use.
Cons: It glitches and crashes ALOT! It makes annoying after a couple of times😒. The green screen looks a little choppy sometimes and it’s pretty noticeable. You can only export videos and photos 6 times a time (and for it to finish downloading, it takes a lot of time) I hope they can make it faster💦.
I hope the creator fixes some bugs and crashes soon. Even though there are a lot of cons, I still love AutoCaptions and I hope AutoCaptions will be live by others too😊

by Vhyctxtedfsycycytuugfeb

Hi Guys! I love AutoCaptions. I’m so happy that AutoCaptions was made. It’s easy too use for people who want to make stop motion or gacha movies. I think there should be a update though. It won’t allow much pictures from what device your using. So if your making a movie and there is a lot of pictures you might have to make a part 2 or more. But I like that AutoCaptions is free because a lot of apps aren’t free and no money wasted! But that’s my review on AutoCaptions. I hope you can see that this is a good app like I see it too! You don’t have to like AutoCaptions because that is just my opinion. But you can also export them and put them together if you want. Bye guys!

by Builderman071

So if you are out of the loop, they had an update a while ago that completely ruined AutoCaptions and turned it into a regular crappy editing app. But the reason why is because AutoCaptions was outdated and they needed to rebuild AutoCaptions so they added one feature at a time. I respect the work and they do deserve another chance. AutoCaptions no longer crashes like the old build and it has some of the old features that work. Recommend but if you want the old pocketvideo experience, maybe wait a bit longer.

by Groverrover248

I couldn’t find a good video editing app that allowed me to take pieces of videos that I had cut down and put them together all into one video until I downloaded this, it was frustrating looking for something like this that was actually FREE I’ve paid no money so far and have run into nothing really bad about AutoCaptions except you can’t rearrange the videos after you paste them into the format but that’s ok cause you just delete the draft and reorder your videos but I could see how it might be problematic if you have more than 4 videos you want to paste together and keep getting them mixed up, I recommend splitting the videos up in the Apple photos app first and than pasting the pieces in the desired order inside AutoCaptions, overall a very good and basic app to use I basically mastered it in less than a hour, Thank you!

by 💕Via🥑

I’m so sick and tired of AutoCaptions kicking me out! I’d be making a video and it’s going perfectly fine! When suddenly completely out of the blue it kicks me out. When I click to get back into AutoCaptions it does this loading thing. It says, “Loading assets.” In the very end of this notification loading thing it says, “it will only happen once!” Oh really?!?!!! Once is every single time I open this darn app! Once I FINALLY get in after waiting forever ALL my stuff has shifted! All the audio is messed up and I need to completely restart! However everytime I restart the same thing happens again.🙄 AutoCaptions can only be used for very small edits and even for small edits it’s such a chore to get it to work! I DO NOT recommend AutoCaptions to anyone!😡Wish I could give it one star.😒

by ShaunaJoElle101

i need AutoCaptions because it has so many great tools, like multiple different fonts for titles and it lets you choose different frame sizes, ( square, landscape, portrait).

everything else needs some improvement. it’s consistently glitching and kicking me off AutoCaptions . most the time it doesn’t even save the entire audio from my video, leaving the last half of the video muted. i have a lot of patience but i can only re-edit a piece so many times because of this. and that’s why i use iMovie to edit most of the video and only use PocketVideo for titles.

if more work was put into AutoCaptions and if all the bugs were ironed out, it would easy be better than iMovie because it’s so simple and easy to comprehend.

by Humpty Dumpty🙂🙂

ok, so I think AutoCaptions is really cool about the green screen stuff. My editing actually looks decent. BUT I have a few things that are about to make me lose my mind! 1.if u insert a photo/video it fricken gets lighter and if I have light words on the pic/vid it’s legit not there anymore! Plz fix that. 2.i use green screen transitions on PocketVideo but let’s say I went to the bathroom without my phone. When I got back on AutoCaptions ALL my green screen stuff are ruined! Or if I just save it to my photos it glitches and doesn’t work. 3.EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I get on AutoCaptions, it says “downloading assets this may take a while-don’t worry it will only happen once! But it fricken happens EVERY TIME!! Y’all spammers. Someday I’ll find an app with a green screen but not as glitchy as pocket video🤦‍♀️

by TheReviewingTeen

I have a school video assignment due tomorrow that I have to present in class. I’m trying to open it after leaving AutoCaptions to tell the group members it is almost done. I’ve now been waiting one whole hour to finish this project and it still won’t load. Not even to mention the many glitches and clinks that make AutoCaptions so difficult use. It always takes minutes after minutes to load for everything but this is not ok. I starsted the loading process at 7:32 pm. It is currently 9:16pm. I have this assignment due and haven’t even started my other homework because of this major mistake. The project is worth 75 points. If I fail this I’m done for. Thanks a lot to this glitchy app.

by Robert Castillo2003

AutoCaptions has the potential on being a huge video editing app. However, it’s just not there yet. The downloading assets really ruins AutoCaptions. I love AutoCaptions however it gets very frustrating. Sometimes it takes an hour just for the downloading assets to go away even though it says “it will only happen once”. I just experienced one right now but this time I actually had to delete AutoCaptions and re-download it. Seriously AutoCaptions deserves 5 stars but I just can’t give it that. If the developers really cared about this, they should’ve fixed this a long, LONG, time ago.

by Crazypanda Girl

I like AutoCaptions a lot but their is a lot of issues. First, it glitches a lot. Which is super annoying. Like, whenever I download a picture, it sends me back to the home screen. I HATED IT WHENEVER IT DOES THAT!!!!😐 And, you can ONLY download 6 photos at a time. Which is not helpful. AutoCaptions is very slow and whenever I download a green screen, it takes like 2 hours for it to download.😒 Didn’t I mentioned that whenever I try to go to the end of the video, IT LAGS AND IT SENDS ME RIGHT BACK TO THE HOME SCREEN. I know this was not your guys fault but I accidentally deleted a project that I worked so hard on and next time you should have this thing called recently deleted and shows the the things that you recently deleted. You can also recover the things you deleted. I was SUPER ANNOYED when I deleted the thing. I wish that I could recover it!😢 THESE ARE MY SUGGESTIONS: stop making it so laggy, whenever I download something, it shouldn’t send me back to the home screen, AND you should make this thing called recently deleted which you can make your deleted projects recover. Thanks 🙏🙂

by WiLLow_W01F24

I’m really confused why only 6 photos at a time! I do gachaverse mini movies and stuff, and some people have to wait a long time for the next mini movie or episode of the gachaverse, can you please let you chose at least 20 photos at a time? And also the music, I try to make animation memes but the full song is either not there or it’s the wrong wave point, can you add the FULL song? That will really help, and thanks for having a really awesome app! This is probably the best video editor, no watermark!! And other than those two things I hate about PocketVideo, this is a great app!

by EVVY C

So I don’t use this for the green screen, and started making it primarily to edit vlogs, as this allowed me to keep the vertical and not be horizontal. (I may have found a better app just now, but I haven’t done much on it (splice)) So given that I use this for vlogs, I need this to be longer, so I ended up using splice to link my 10 minute clips from this together, which seems to work decently, and I also use InShot to put music to my videos. So I find that this works ok, but there are some flaws that I fix with other apps that makes editing kind of inconvenient, but it works.

by Dinokid1

So I love AutoCaptions , it’s awesome with the green screen and how easy it is,but I have a few problems. It gets super annoying when it shoots you out of AutoCaptions and it doesn’t save your work. This doesn’t happen on my iPad, but on my phone, literally EVERY TIME I OPEN AutoCaptions , IT SAYS “downloading assets, be patient it may take a while and it will only happen once” but it doesn’t happen once, it happens all the time! Over all I would recommend AutoCaptions it’s just glitches some times.

If the developer would fix these I would bring my rating up to five stars. 🙂
