RipClip vs Submagic
In short: Submagic is a caption-first short-video editor: animated caption styles, captions in 123 languages, B-roll, sound effects, an AI video translator and a low entry price. Long-video clipping (Magic Clips) is an add-on that takes YouTube links, uploads or Drive links. RipClip starts from the long stream: Kick and Twitch links on every plan, streams up to 4 hours on the free plan, then an editor and a posting calendar. Choose Submagic to polish short videos; choose RipClip to turn whole streams into clips.
