AI-powered video and podcast editor with transcription-first workflows.
VideoFreemium
Adds animated captions, B-roll, zooms, and sound effects to short videos for social platforms.
Overview
Submagic is a caption-first editor for short-form video. Users upload a clip and the tool transcribes it, generates styled animated captions with emoji and keyword highlights, removes silences, adds auto zooms and transitions, inserts stock B-roll, and suggests a description and hashtags. A Magic Clips add-on cuts long videos into shorts. It is used by small businesses and agencies to make talking-head videos, testimonials, and promotional reels look polished in minutes. Caption styles can be saved as templates for brand consistency, and output supports vertical, square, and horizontal formats. It integrates with YouTube and Google Drive for imports and offers an API on the Business plan. Each plan caps the number of videos per month and the maximum length per video, so it is designed for high-volume short clips rather than long edits. Caption accuracy is strong in English and major European languages but weaker for niche terms and heavy accents.
