Animated captions that boost watch time and accessibility

Submagic’s core feature automatically transcribes speech and applies animated caption styles with precise timing. Captions grab attention in sound-off feeds, improve accessibility, and have been shown to increase viewer retention on short-form platforms. Businesses can choose from 60+ font and animation presets to align with brand guidelines.

Business outcome: Higher engagement and watch time on social videos, directly contributing to algorithm favourability and audience growth.

Context-aware B-roll library that adds visual interest instantly

The platform analyses the spoken content and suggests relevant stock B-roll clips from its built-in library of over 100+ options. This replaces the manual hunt for supplementary footage and keeps videos dynamic without extra editing effort, particularly useful for talking-head or interview-based content.

Business outcome: More professional-looking videos with less production time, helping teams create content that holds viewer attention through visual variety.

Dynamic zooms, emojis and sound effects added in one click

Submagic can automatically apply zoom in/out effects, popular emoji reactions, and sound effects that match the video’s rhythm. These native-feeling embellishments increase the likelihood of a video feeling native to TikTok or Reels, a key factor in platform performance.

Business outcome: Higher perceived production value and platform-native feel without manual keyframing, increasing shareability and algorithmic reach.

Auto-cut long videos into ready-to-post shorts

Submagic includes an AI-powered long-to-short repurposing engine that identifies the most engaging moments from webinars, podcasts, or longer videos and turns them into vertical clips with captions. This allows content teams to extract maximum value from existing assets.

Business outcome: Significant time savings in content repurposing, enabling one long video to generate multiple short-form posts for different platforms.

Pre-built caption and style templates that enforce brand consistency

Teams can create, save, and apply custom templates that lock font choices, caption colours, and transition styles. This ensures every video from a team – whether a junior social media coordinator or an agency freelancer – looks like it belongs to the same brand.

Business outcome: Consistent brand presentation across all social channels, reducing quality variance and reinforcing brand identity with every post.

Pre-written hooks and CTAs that drive views and conversions

Submagic offers a library of proven video hooks, call-to-actions, and text overlays designed to stop the scroll. Marketers can test different hooks without rewriting copy from scratch, accelerating the creative testing cycle.

Business outcome: Faster creative iteration and higher click-through rates, as data-backed hooks replace guesswork in the crucial first seconds of a video.
