So Zella does it. You stop recording and the captions are already written, the silences and filler words are already cut, and the zoom-ins are already placed. If you want more, one button adds pacing, transitions, sound effects and a music bed.
The constraint I set myself was that all of it runs on your own machine. No upload, no queue, no account. It is slower to build that way and it rules out some features, but it means your footage never leaves your Mac or your phone, and it works with no connection at all.
It is free at 1080p with no watermark. Pro is one payment of $89 for both platforms, because I did not want to build another subscription.
