Submagic review

Submagic focuses on the finishing pass that makes a short clip watchable: captions, B-roll, zooms and cleanup. You upload a vertical clip and its AI adds auto captions, and you trim it by editing text. Starter costs $12 per member per month billed yearly or $19 monthly, with 45 credits per member, which Submagic equates to about 15 videos or 5 Magic Clips, plus free B-roll and audio, text-based trimming, 1080p export at 30 FPS and API access. Pro at $23 per member per month on annual billing raises the limit to 5-minute videos and 120 credits, and adds AI auto zooms, removal of bad takes and silences, clean audio, Storyblocks B-roll and a Brand Kit. Business at $41 adds 4K export at 60 FPS and 30-minute videos. The trade-off is scope: Starter caps input at two minutes, so this is a tool for shorts, not for cutting a full episode. Teams that already film vertical content and want a consistent, captioned look will get the most from it.

Who it is for

Creators who want polished, captioned shorts from their own footage in minutes.
