Transcription, subtitles and dubbing
Maestra transcribes, then subtitles, then dubs into another language with a synthetic voice, and keeps all three views of the same file in one editor. Working across 125 languages is what it sells, and the dubbing is the part that has no cheap equivalent. Minutes are the unit of billing, so a long back catalogue is a budgeting exercise.

Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
