Overview

Submagic focuses on the finishing pass for short-form video: styled captions, b-roll, effects and removal of silences. Clipping long videos into shorts is an add-on rather than part of the base plan, so the real cost of a clipping workflow is the plan plus Magic Clips. Check the video-length caps on each plan against what you publish. The table figures come from its pricing page, help center and a third-party breakdown.

  • Creators and coaches polishing talking-head shorts
