Submagic: AI video for creators and social media managers
Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing. Learn more.
Submagic helps you make and edit video by adding animated captions, b-roll and quick AI edits to short videos for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. It is best for creators and social media managers who already film short talking videos and want styled captions and quick clean-up without learning a full editor. You upload a short video.
What it does
You upload a short video. Submagic transcribes it, puts styled captions on screen and lets you pick a caption template. On higher plans it also removes silences and bad takes, adds automatic zooms and stock b-roll, and cleans up the audio. You can publish to social accounts from inside the app. Every plan is counted in videos per member per month, with a cap on how long each video can be.

Editorial note
Submagic takes a short video, writes animated captions onto it and adds b-roll, zooms and sound clean-up, so a raw phone clip is ready to post.
Who it’s for
- For: creators and social media managers who already film short talking videos and want styled captions and quick clean-up without learning a full editor.
- Not ideal for: people who need to cut long videos into many clips. Each plan caps video length, at 2 minutes on Starter. For long recordings, our Klap and OpusClip pages cover tools built for that job.
