The Submagic alternative that edits the whole video
Animated captions, plus the rest of the edit. GetCapz writes your captions word by word and also cuts, adds B-roll, music and motion graphics when you ask.

Why creators look for a Submagic alternative
Submagic is known for fast animated captions on short videos. If captions are the only thing you need, it is a solid choice.
Most videos need more than captions. You still have to cut the bad takes, find B-roll, add music and make the hook stand out. GetCapz does all of that in the same place. Describe the edit in a chat and the AI makes it on a timeline, captions included.
Generate word-by-word captions, correct the text and timing, and choose a style that fits your video. Every change stays editable on the timeline.

Captions, plus the rest of the edit
If captions are only one step in your work, you can ask for them along with everything else. Here is a request that goes past captions.
Add animated captions, cut the pauses, add B-roll when I mention the product, add light music, and put a big hook in the first seconds.
What the AI does with it
- Writes word by word captions in the style you pick.
- Tightens the video by removing pauses.
- Places B-roll and music where they fit.
- Adds a big animated hook at the start.

If you still open another editor for cuts or B-roll, a full editor may save you that step.
Check video length limits
Compare how long a video each plan allows, based on what you post.
Check your languages
Test Arabic or Darija with your real speech. Mixed sentences are the hardest case.
Decide if you need translation
GetCapz writes speech in its own language. If you need translated captions, choose a tool that offers that.
Mistakes to avoid
Choosing on price alone
A cheaper plan with the wrong limits can cost you more time.
Using only presets

Skipping caption review
Any AI can mishear a word. Read your captions before you post.
