About
Submagic is a comprehensive AI video editing platform purpose-built for short-form content at scale. Trusted by over 4 million businesses, it eliminates the slow, manual parts of video production so teams can go from raw footage to publish-ready shorts in a single click. At its core, Submagic generates viral caption styles with 99% accuracy across 48 languages, automatically keeping viewers engaged and improving retention. The Magic Clips feature identifies and extracts the most compelling moments from longer recordings, enabling instant repurposing of podcasts, interviews, and webinars into multiple standalone shorts. AI Auto Edit handles cutting and trimming, while AI Eye Contact and Auto-Zoom polish the final look without additional manual work. Beyond editing, Submagic includes B-roll suggestions, transitions, sound effects, background music, AI Actors Studio, and a built-in video translator for multilingual audiences. Its Publishing Automation lets users schedule posts and distribute content directly to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn from one editor. For agencies and developers, a Video Editing API enables large-scale workflow integration — Sportskeeda, for example, used Submagic to scale to 2,500+ monthly videos with a 40% reach growth. Submagic is ideal for social media managers, marketers, e-commerce brands, coaches, real estate professionals, and media agencies that need high-volume, high-quality short-form content without sacrificing speed.
