You talk to the camera. Hookies edits. Hookies is the AI video editor for talking-head videos, interviews and podcasts. Upload your recording, tell Hooki in one sentence what you want and get a finished video: no ums or slip-ups, with animated captions, music and on-screen titles. Want it shorter, punchier or with bigger captions? Just say so. Changes by chat are always included. BUILT FOR TALKING HEADS • Ums, pauses, false starts and retakes are removed automatically. • Animated captions in many looks, word by word on the beat, with highlighted keywords. • Titles, names and facts on glass cards, right when you say them. • Music that ducks when you speak, plus zooms, transitions and cinematic color looks. • Vertical or landscape, for Reels, Shorts and Stories. CHANGE IT IN ONE SENTENCE • Send a voice note or type a message. Hooki understands what you want, in your language. • “Shorter”, “music quieter while I talk”, “captions at the top”: Hooki does it. • Or fine-tune it yourself in the editor. INTERVIEWS, PODCASTS AND BEST-OFS • Several people and many clips in one video. • Series: turn a long interview or podcast into many short clips, each with its own hook. • Event best-ofs and aftermovies, cut to the beat. PLAN WITH HOOKI • Ideas, hooks and complete scripts for your next video. • Shooting plans with a teleprompter that follows along as you speak. • A content plan you can add straight to your calendar. MADE FOR YOUR DAY • Uploads keep running in the background. Follow the progress on your Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. • Get notified the moment your video is ready. • No sign-up needed.
