Subclip
Subclip is a Mac video editor that uses prompts and an editable timeline to help creators produce captioned, translated, and dubbed videos for publishing.
One of 23 tools in Video Editing
Who it's for
- Video creators preparing captioned clips or polished videos from existing footage.
- Product and marketing teams creating launch videos from screenshots, screen recordings, and brand assets.
- Creators localizing videos with translated captions or AI voice dubbing.
Not the right fit if…
- People who need Subclip's screen recorder or live-stream auto-zoom on a non-Mac platform: the page lists both features as exclusive to macOS.
How it fits your workflow
Add footage, screenshots, screen recordings, or brand assets, then describe the edit you want. Subclip handles the timeline and presents edits in the editor for review and adjustment.
Refine the timeline, captions, and other elements in the UI. You can use your existing Claude, Codex, Cursor, or Grok subscription for prompt editing, or use Subclip's AI generation features.
Export the finished video or publish it to YouTube. For localization, use translation and voice dubbing to create versions in supported languages.
