Captions, b-roll and hooks on a vertical clip
Submagic takes a clip and gives it back captioned in the style short-form audiences now expect, with the emphasised words coloured and the timing tight against the audio. Cutting a long recording into clips is a paid add-on rather than the base product, which is the thing to check before comparing it with Opus Clip. Three watermarked videos a month are free, which is enough to see whether the caption style suits your face.
Our note
The captions are the reason to buy it, and they are better than the default in most editors. Opus Clip is the comparison for finding the clip; Submagic is the comparison for making the clip worth watching once found.

Browser video editing with subtitles that hold up
VEED does the jobs a short-form editor repeats every week: auto subtitles, resizing for each platform, background noise removal and translation. Everything runs in a tab, so a Chromebook edits as well as a laptop does. The credit system covers the AI features rather than the editor, and heavy translation work burns through a month of them quickly.
Our note
VEED and Submagic overlap most on captions, and the split is scope: Submagic is sharper at the fast-cut short-form style, VEED does more of the boring work like resizing, translation and noise removal. If captions are the only job, Zubtitle is a third of the price.
