This AI Makes Editing Your Videos EASY – The Only Tool You Need!

It's true, a good short video can be better than a long one. Shorts, reals, Tik Toks, we all watch them, but making them honestly can be a pain. Believe me, I know if you are a fellow YouTuber chasing watch time and CDR, you feel this in your bones. Before I stumbled onto Submagic, my YouTube crew and I were caught in the hamster wheel. every creator dreads, racing to hit upload schedules, trimming clips at 3:00 a. m., then praying an anemic social feed would somehow punch through the algorithmic noise. And in this video, I'm showing you exactly how I turned a plain vanilla talking head recording into a punchy video in minutes. But first, let me show you what we're dealing with. This is a video of me talking to the camera. There is nothing special. Steady camera, my usual mic and lighting setup, the bare minimum. Without editing, it all looks quite boring and uninteresting. So, let's change that. So, here's how I roll. I pop open SubMagic, smack that generate captions button, toss my video in, and tell it what language we're speaking today. If the clip's a podcast with a couple of voices chatting away, I flip on the multi-speaker theme, and boom, each person gets their own caption color. It's like giving everyone their own spotlight without the awkward spotlight dance. There's even a one-click toggle for caption translation, but only if you feel like flexing your polyglot muscles. Submagic already speaks more languages than a Eurovision afterparty. The coolest bit, Submagic isn't just spitting out plain captions. It jazzes them up, slides in little animations, even drops emojis that pop right on beat. Change a word in the text, and the vibe of the whole video shifts. I spend way too much time noodling with those styles, but it's weirdly therapeutic. Up top, Submagic gives you a trio of tabs. The first one, trim, is where the real slicing and dicing happens. Down in the timeline, you can chop out the uh what was I saying? Moments or delete that random cat cameo. Sure, you could do it clip by clip, but Submagic has two buttons that feel like pure sorcery. Hit remove silences, pick your pace, and the software vaporizes those dead air gaps. Go fast and it trims only the four chunkiest pauses. Crank it to extra fast and it nukes every last silence, turning your video into one smooth rapid fire monologue. Stuff that used to keep our editors busy for minutes now disappears in like the time it takes to sip coffee. The other magic button, remove bad tags, is a lifesaver if you're the type who records a line, flubs it, and says it again and again until you nail it. Submagic spots duplicate phrases and tosses the dubs for you. Mine is clean this time, but if you've ever had to scrub through footage hunting for the one sentence where you didn't sound like a malfunction robot, you know how huge that is. Right after the captions are in place, you could jump to another tab and keep tweaking, but I always click that tiny audio icon hiding in plain sight. It's the clean audio button, and it's pure magic. My fancy mic already sounds like butter, yet there's always some rogue hum. One tap, wait a minute, and Submagic scrubs it all out without asking a single question about bit rates or EQ curves. What would eat up a solid chunk of time in Pro Software is basically a coffee break task here. That same panel also lets you drop background music from a library that feels deeper than my Spotify history. I'm not going to blast any tracks at you. YouTube's copyright police have faster reflexes than Spider-Man, but if you're cutting for Tik Tok or Insta, the rules are way more chill. Worst case, you can still check each song's status and dodge any DMCA headaches. By the way, in real life, all of this takes maybe 60 seconds. I've just been talking for longer, so your first run feels silky smooth instead of a panic clickfest. Now for the fun part, the captions tab. First job is picking the vibe. Submic ships with every trendy style you've seen. Hormosi, beast, Devon, the whole costume closet. I'm a Hormosi fanboy because it's clean, readable, and basically the industry uniform at this point. You can slide the captions up or down, pump the font size, and dial in colors for both the main text and those punchy highlight words. Feel like going full custom? Two clicks and you're choosing fonts, weights, cases, strokes, shadows, even how many words show up per line. Emojis get their own playground, too, so you can decide exactly how they bounce, spin, or politely nod. Once your personal hormosy but make it mine preset is locked, it's time to nudge the lines. The AI usually splits everything smartly, but sometimes I drag a stray word back to its friends, add a line break, or split one chunky line in half. That polish round barely takes a couple of minutes. Just remember to hit save so you don't time travel back to square one. Here's the twist nobody warns you about. Your captions can look perfect in the editor, then vanish behind a giant like button the moment the app's Chrome shows up on screen. I used to eyeball it. Shifting text up and down, exporting, re-uploading, basically plain whack-a-ole with invisible UI. Now I just hit the tiny overlay toggle letagic slap the phone interface on top of the

preview and show the captions until every word sits clear of the onscreen clutter. It's the difference between crossing a busy street with your eyes closed and having traffic lights tell you exactly when to walk. While you're in housekeeping mode, double check the aspect ratio. Maybe you dragged in last week's 16:9 landscape vlog because muscle memory betrayed you. No sweat. Flip it to a vertical frame right there and watch Submagic Automagically Letterbox or crop so your face isn't sliced in half. Technically, you can still carve a fulllength video into a short, trim the fluff, sprinkle captions, call it a day. But shooting with vertical in mind from the first clap gives you better ey lines, tighter energy, and zero guessing about what the algorithm will trim off the top of your head. Trust me, I learned that lesson when I posted a short where my forehead went on an unscheduled vacation. Now for the dessert course, the B-roll playground. Submagic chops your talking head, recording into bite-sized scenes so cleanly you'd swear a sushi chef handled the timeline. Hover over a segment, hit add B-roll, and the software opens a vault stuffed with everything from cinematic slow-mo to goofy stock footage, raccoons pawing at garbage lids. Feeling fancy? Drag in your own clips. Maybe that drone shot you spent all weekend capturing, or the brand animation your designer whipped up at 2:00 a. m. Even with fresh footage in place, the frame can feel frozen, so I drop in a gentle push in or a dramatic punch out to keep the pixels breathing. Motion is like seasoning. Skip it and your dish tastes flat. The zoom tool is ridiculously straightforward. One click gives you options that range from soft inhale to hold my coffee rocket boost. I often kick things off with a sharp zoom so viewers feel momentum before my first syllable even lands. Think of it like boarding a roller coaster. If the cart creeps out of the station, people yawn. If it launches, they grip the bar and forget where the exit is. Shorts live on that adrenaline jolt. Every fraction of a second you can shave off dead air is another second someone keeps watching instead of scrolling to the next dancing corgi compilation. By the time you've dodged interface overlays, fixed your framing, swapped static shots for lively B-roll, and sprinkled just the right amount of zoom spice, you've turned a plain talking head clip into something that feels like a tiny documentary trailer. Each scene is basically an empty canvas begging for a glow up. Submagic lets you plop an image right on top of any scene. And these pictures behave like mega emojis. They hover, they wiggle, they add that instant meme energy. Great if you're dropping a reaction face or a quick side gag, but I'll be real. I hardly touch them for shorts because too many floating graphics can feel like you invited a confetti cannon to a coffee date. Still nice to know the options there. When a perfectly timed Spongebob frame could land a laugh. The real sauce is the audio effect you can tie to every scene. Picture this. Your clip cuts to a new angle, the camera punches in, and a crisp swoosh sound zips by at the exact same millisecond. Suddenly, the edit feels expensive, like you secretly hired Hollywood Foley artists and paid them in crypto. Got a fiery transition? Toss in a little crackle so viewers practically smell the smoke. Now, if you've got the patience of a monk, you can dial in every single scene by hand. Swap footage, tweak volumes, adjust timing until it feels perfect. But Submagic cleverly sneaks in two cheat codes that save you from going full editor. The first one is Magic B-roll. Tap it once and the software sifts through your script, figures out which bits need extra visuals, and slaps stock footage on every scene where your talking head isn't carrying the whole show. It even knows when to leave you on screen so the video still feels personal instead of turning into a slideshow narrated by a disembodied voice. Right next to it lifts magic zoom. Hit that and Submagic sprinkles subtle push-ins or pull outs across the timeline so the frame is always breathing and nobody feels stuck watching a statue deliver a TED talk. It's like having a tiny Spielberg inside your laptop except he never asks for a union breaks. Quick heads up though. Each magic button is basically a reset grenade. Once you pull the pen, any custom B-roll or zooms you already placed vanish faster than free pizza in a startup kitchen. So decide on your game plan before you start clicking around. Now pro tip from one creator to another. I fire both magic buttons right out of the gate. Let submagic paint the broad strokes, then jump back in and nudge the shots or sound effects that feel a bit off. That workflow gives me the speed boost of automation while keeping enough creative control that the final cut still feels like me, not like every other cookie cutter short in the feed. With all the edits done, I can just export the video and download it as a video file. And Submagic even suggest a description to drop in the upload box. One less headache, one more upload on the channel. Now, go ahead hit record

tweak for 10 minutes, and get that short live. The algorithm won't wait. I will leave a link to Submagic in the description, so be sure to check it out.
