The honest brief

Captions

Built on Mirage, its parent's in-house video foundation model — not a wrapper around third-party video generators.

  • In-house Mirage video model
  • Auto captions, B-roll, eye-contact fix
  • AI personas render video from a script
  • Multi-language dubbing
  • Focused on talking-head/short-form only
  • Best features behind paid tiers
  • Avatar output can look synthetic

Submagic

Billed per finished video, not per credit or source-minute, and auto-inserts context-matched B-roll, not just captions.

  • Removes silences automatically
  • Captions in dozens of languages
  • Pulls clips from long video
  • Import footage or a YouTube link
  • Web-only, no mobile editor
  • Less highlight-detection depth than rivals
  • B-roll picks need review
  • Watermark/limits on lower tiers
