Brand-Aware Editing: Learns your unique voice and delivers clips that reflect it, unlike tools that rely on generic templates.
Built for Scale: Manage multiple shows, brands, and teams with ease using centralized tools, tagging, and role-based access.
Custom AI Prompts: Find exactly the moments you need—whether it’s contradictions, punchlines, or hooks under 20 seconds.
Team-Friendly UX: Clean, fast, and intuitive design for producers, editors, and marketers who need to move quickly.
Beyond Subtitles: While others focus on captions, Overlap delivers polished, social-ready clips—with or without them.
