This is the whole editor
Highlight a phrase and a clip lands on those exact words. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers.
Descript
Descript is the best-known text-based editor. You edit the video by deleting words from the transcript, and Underlord AI tightens the edit.
- Best for: long recordings, podcasts, interviews and screen recordings, on web, Mac and Windows.
- Strengths: Studio Sound cleans the audio, and filler words go in a click.
- Price: free plan with 60 minutes a month at 720p and a watermark. Hobbyist is $16 a person a month billed yearly ($24 monthly) for 10 hours at 1080p. Creator is $24 billed yearly for 30 hours and 4K.
- Tradeoff: you pay per person, and you add the b-roll and make the vertical version yourself.
Captions
Captions is the phone-first option. You pick an AI edit style, it makes the edit, and you change what you do not like.
- Best for: creators who film and edit on a phone, on iOS, Android or the web.
- Strengths: captions in 100+ languages, an AI twin, eye contact correction, noise removal and generated music.
- Price: a free version with trimming, transitions and some media. Max is $24.99 a month with 500 credits.
- Tradeoff: the AI edit applies a style, so you cannot pick which words get b-roll.
Submagic
Submagic is a fast way to add captions and effects to short videos. You upload a short, it adds captions and effects, and you adjust the result.
- Best for: people who post many short clips a week, styled the same way every time.
- Strengths: captions in 123 languages, b-roll, auto zooms, sound effects, hook titles and Magic Clips.
- Price: free to try with no card. Starter is $12 a month billed yearly ($19 monthly) for 15 videos up to 2 minutes. Pro is $23 billed yearly for 40 videos.
- Tradeoff: auto zooms, silence removal and posting to social media start on Pro, not Starter.
OpusClip
OpusClip is a leading AI clipping tool for long videos. ClipAnything finds the moments, ReframeAnything keeps you in the middle of the frame, and captions are added.
- Best for: podcasters, streamers and anyone with hours of talking to reuse.
- Strengths: captions at over 97% accuracy, a virality score, auto posting from Starter and a scheduler on Pro.
- Price: free plan with a watermark on animated caption templates and a 3-day export window. Starter is $15 a month. Pro is $29 with AI b-roll and brand templates.
- Tradeoff: it needs a long video to work from, so it is not built for one short ad.
VEED
VEED is a popular browser editor with AI tools built in. You record or upload, add subtitles automatically, then cut by hand on the timeline.
- Best for: small teams that want one browser tool for videos, subtitles and brand kits.
- Strengths: brand kits, AI avatars, AI voice, text-to-video, translation into 50+ languages on Pro and screen recording.
- Price: free plan. Creator is $10 per user a month billed yearly, Pro is $21 and Studio is $35.
- Tradeoff: you pay per user, bigger plans are needed for more AI credits, and you make the cuts yourself.
Cutroom
Cutroom is the Jupitrr alternative for people who film one video of themselves talking and want a finished 9:16 ad back. It edits the video as soon as you upload it, and you make changes by clicking words in the transcript.
- Best for: founders and marketers who want the video itself and post it themselves.
- Strengths: highlight a phrase and a clip plays over it, fix a misheard word, 40 caption styles, an opening headline, and music you can turn on.
- Price: first video free, no card, with 7 days to make it. Lite is $19.99 a month, or $14.99 billed yearly. Basic is $39.99 with avatars and music, and Premium $79.99.
- Tradeoff: one video up to 3 minutes at a time, 9:16 only, and no calendar, research or analytics.
