Why creators switch from Submagic

Submagic doesn’t clip

Submagic adds captions to clips you’ve already cut. ZipClip finds the best moments in your long-form video AND captions them — one tool, one step.

No platform imports

Submagic requires you to upload files manually. ZipClip imports directly from YouTube, Twitch, and Kick — just paste a link.

No prompt-based editing

Submagic is template-driven. ZipClip lets you describe exactly what you want in plain English — “bold yellow captions, trim the first 3 seconds.”

One clip at a time

Submagic processes one short at a time. ZipClip generates up to 5 variations per moment on Pro (10 on Max) and batch-exports all clips.

Clip it and caption it. One tool.

ZipClip does what Submagic does \u2014 and everything before it. Free to start.
