The short answer: is Submagic right for your church?

Submagic adds animated AI captions, zooms, b-roll and sound effects to short videos in your browser. It's best for churches that already have sermon clips and want them to hold attention on Reels and Shorts. The catch: there's no free plan beyond a three-video trial, and the cheapest plan limits each video to two minutes.

Is it right for you?

Who Submagic is for

Great for

  • Social volunteers polishing sermon clips someone else has already cut
  • Churches that want bold, consistent captions on every Reel
  • Teams posting short clips several times a week

Skip it if

  • Churches editing full-length sermon videos. Even Business caps each video at 30 minutes, so use a desktop editor.
  • Churches with no budget for another subscription. A free editor with auto captions covers the basics.
In real life

How churches use Submagic

  1. Captioned sermon Reels

    Upload a one-minute sermon clip and add animated captions so people scrolling on mute still get the point.

  2. Pastor's phone announcement

    Turn a quick selfie-video announcement into a captioned short with b-roll and zooms.

  3. Cleaner leader videos

    On Pro, remove silences and bad takes from a youth leader's video before it goes up.

Questions churches ask

Submagic FAQ

Is Submagic free?

Only as a trial. You can upload three short videos free to test it, and downloads carry a watermark until you subscribe. Paid plans start at $19 a month, with up to 41% off yearly.

Can Submagic caption a full sermon?

Only on Business, which allows videos up to 30 minutes. Starter caps videos at 2 minutes and Pro at 5, so most churches use it on clips.

Can Submagic make clips from a long video?

Yes. Its Magic Clips feature takes a YouTube link or uploaded video and suggests short clips with captions.

Does Submagic have a phone app?

No native app. Submagic runs in a web browser, and its help center suggests using your phone's browser if you need to upload from your phone.
