FluidCut vs Captions.
FluidCut is a Captions alternative for people who start from a long recording, such as a podcast, and want clips and edits of their own footage with per-minute pricing. Captions is stronger when you want generative AI: AI actors, digital twins, generated B-roll and a mobile app. FluidCut does not generate avatars or new footage.
