Submagic alternative
The Submagic alternative that makes the full cut.
Submagic’s AI captions and trims your footage. Bang AI is built only for talking-to-camera videos, and one press makes the full cut: it cuts the ums and dead air, adds J and L cuts, punch-ins and captions, and drops your product shot on the line you said it. Then fine-tune it in the Mac app.

Talk to the camera. Press Auto Edit. Post.
That’s the whole job. Bang AI does the part in the middle.
- Talk to the cameraRead a script or wing it. Flub freely; film as many takes as you need.
- Press Auto EditIt cuts the ums, pauses and false starts, adds J and L cuts, punch-ins and captions, and drops in your product shots.
- PostFix a word or swap a take in the Mac app, then export 9:16, 4:5 and 1:1 in one go.
Which one is built for you?
Bang AI is for you if
- You want the whole cut made for you, not only captions and trims
- You want to fine-tune the cut in a Mac app afterwards
- You want J and L cuts, so the cuts flow instead of jumping
- You want to call in your product shot or code by saying “overlay” while you film
Submagic is for you if
- You want to edit in a web browser too, not only upload there
- You turn long podcasts and interviews into lots of shorts
- You want to schedule and publish posts from the editor
- You caption in many languages, or make videos with AI avatars
Who Bang AI isn’t for: it cuts by what you say, so it works best on talking-to-camera videos with clear speech. If nobody talks in your videos, it’s the wrong app, and we’d rather tell you now.

Bang AI and Submagic, answered.
What’s the best Submagic alternative for talking-to-camera videos?
Bang AI. Submagic captions and trims; Bang AI’s one press makes the whole cut, with J and L cuts, punch-ins, captions and spoken overlays, and you fine-tune it in the Mac app.
Do both cut filler words and silences?
Yes. Submagic’s Smart Trim removes silences, filler words and bad takes. Bang AI’s auto edit cuts filler words, long pauses and false starts, then adds J and L cuts so the cuts don’t feel choppy.
Can Bang AI turn a podcast into clips?
That isn’t what it’s for. Bang AI cuts short videos where you talk to the camera. For finding clips in long recordings, Submagic’s Magic Clips is built for it.
Does Bang AI have a teleprompter?
Not on the web or the Mac, which don’t film. Bang AI’s iPhone app scrolls your script while you film, with a countdown.
Is Bang AI on the App Store?
Yes. Get Bang AI on the App Store for iPhone, which films with a teleprompter that scrolls your script, with a countdown. It’s on the web and the Mac too.
Every video you don’t post is money you don’t make.
Bang AI is on iPhone, the web and the Mac.
