Submagic makes a video you filmed look finished: animated captions, B-roll, zooms, dead air trimmed. Its Magic Clips can also cut a long video into shorts. In both cases the video comes first, and filming or finding it is up to you. Dailies takes the other road: it records the calls you already hold on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom, in Chrome, and cuts up to eight captioned vertical shorts from each one. Submagic dresses the footage you shoot; Dailies spares you the shoot.

Dailies
For people who never get round to filming, and whose best explanations are given on calls with clients.
Submagic
For people who film themselves on purpose, talking to the camera or on their phone, and want polished captions, B-roll and zooms on the result.

Submagic is an AI editor for short videos. You upload a video or paste a YouTube link: podcasts, YouTube videos or phone footage. It adds animated captions in more than 35 styles, with emojis and keyword highlights, and states that it handles 123 languages, French included. It adds B-roll from a stock library or from your own uploads, zooms, transitions, sound effects and background music. Smart Trim removes dead air, filler words and bad takes in one click. Magic Clips finds the key moments of a long video and generates 20 or more shorts, framed for vertical formats, with face tracking. It also corrects eye contact, cleans the audio, writes hooks, titles and descriptions, and translates subtitles while keeping the original audio. Exports go up to 4K at 60 frames per second, and videos can be scheduled and published from the editor. Its maker, TURBO STUDIO, is based in Paris, and its website exists in nineteen languages, French among them.
Submagic starts from a video you bring: an upload, or a YouTube link. That suits someone who sets up a camera or a phone and records on purpose. We found no import from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Google Drive on the pages we read, so a call would be recorded with another tool, then uploaded as a file. Dailies starts from the call itself: it records the call tab, your microphone and your webcam in Chrome, and the shorts come from there.
Submagic gives you choices: more than 35 caption styles, B-roll, zooms, transitions, music, three modes for its Smart Trim. Dailies makes most of the choices for you. It picks the passages, cuts silences, filler words and false starts, reframes on whoever speaks, burns in captions in the style you chose among fifteen and puts a line above each short, the question it answers.
Submagic frames automatically for vertical formats and its Magic Clips track faces. How it treats the layout of a two-person call is not stated on the pages we read. Dailies records your webcam on a track of its own and crops your guest’s tile on their face, so a short follows whoever speaks. One switch blurs your guests and disguises their voice; we found no such option on Submagic’s pages.
Submagic edits any video you upload, including footage from your phone, exports up to 4K, translates subtitles, generates AI avatars, and schedules and publishes from its editor. Dailies does not edit a video you upload and does not post for you: it handles the calls it records, and you download each short in Full HD.
Not from what its site describes: Submagic starts from a video you upload or a YouTube link, so a call has to be recorded elsewhere first. We found no import from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams or Google Drive on the pages we read. Dailies records the call itself in Chrome and cuts its shorts from it.
Yes. Its Magic Clips feature finds the key moments of a long video and generates 20 or more shorts, framed for vertical formats, with face tracking on by default in its API. Dailies picks up to eight passages per call, from the calls it records.
Yes. Submagic states that it captions 123 languages, has a page for its French subtitle generator, and publishes its website in French. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, and its extension’s interface is in French.
Not for the videos you film. Dailies does not edit a video you upload: it only makes shorts from the calls it records. If you shoot talking-head videos and want them captioned and dressed, Submagic is built for that. If what you would post is said on calls, Dailies is.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
