Editor's Verdict

Official Review
Submagic is the finishing tool for shorts: captions, zooms and b-roll that look native. Pair it with a clipper, or use its own clipping on longer plans.

Pros

What we like

  • The caption styles are the reason people buy it
  • Large annual discount stated on the page
  • No-card trial

Cons

Limitations

  • Per-member pricing adds up for teams
  • Clip length caps of 2 and 5 minutes on the lower tiers
  • Less of a clipper than Opus Clip; it finishes clips rather than finding them
