Why ClipEasy fits creators who film themselves better than Submagic
The full clean-up in every edit
ClipEasy cuts pauses and dead air, removes filler, retakes and false starts, cleans up the audio and adds captions in every edit. On Submagic's Starter plan, $19 a month for 15 videos, the AI silence, filler-word and bad-take cuts are missing, so you trim each stumble yourself by editing the transcript.
No credit math on the clean-up
On Submagic an upload costs 3 credits and each extra AI feature 1 to 3 more, so running the full clean-up on every take leaves you fewer videos than the plan's headline count. ClipEasy's edit steps are part of the edit, not add-ons.
Ten videos, one upload
Add up to 10 raw takes, one per product, and ClipEasy edits every one while you do something else. Submagic's Magic Clips cuts one long video into several shorts, which is a different job.
A teleprompter that listens
Film in the app with a script that follows your voice, waits when you pause, keeps up if you skip and stops the take three seconds after your last line. Submagic starts from an upload, and its listed features include no teleprompter.
Made for the phone in your hand
ClipEasy is being built for iOS and Android. Submagic is web-based, and the App Store and Google Play apps that use its name are not its own.
An opening that gets to the point
ClipEasy tightens the opening and fixes overlapping audio as part of the same edit, on top of captions, so the first seconds of each video start with what you came to say.
Short-form videos ClipEasy is built to edit
Product videos in a batch
Add up to 10 raw takes, one for each product, and ClipEasy edits every one of them while you do something else.
Talking-to-camera ads
Give ClipEasy a raw take with pauses and stumbles left in, and get back a cut, captioned ad with clean audio and a tighter opening.
Testimonial-style videos
Talk naturally and start over when you need to. ClipEasy removes the retakes, false starts and filler and adds captions.
Scripted videos with the teleprompter
Bring your script and read it into the lens. The teleprompter follows your voice, and ClipEasy keeps the take where you got each line right.
Unboxing and first impressions
Film your first reaction in one raw take. ClipEasy cuts the dead air and awkward moments and adds captions so it is ready to post.
Reviews filmed in one take
Record your review in one go, pauses and all. ClipEasy trims the silences and filler, cleans up the audio and tightens the opening.

ClipEasy
ClipEasy is an AI video editor for short-form and UGC creators who film talking-to-camera videos and ads for brands. You film a take on your phone or upload one you already have. ClipEasy then finds the mistakes and fixes them: it cuts dead air, pauses and filler, removes retakes and false starts, adds captions, cleans up the audio and tightens your opening, so the video is ready to post. If you want to change something, you edit it yourself in a few taps. It edits up to 10 different videos at once, one per product, while you do something else. It also has a teleprompter that follows your voice. It works on your real face and your real footage and does not generate actors. ClipEasy is coming soon to iOS and Android, with a waitlist on the homepage.
Best for: UGC creators who film talking-to-camera videos and ads for brands, often one per product, and want each raw take cut, captioned and ready to post without editing it by hand.
