Great tool, great price, greatsupport
I've been using Snapcut in parallel with SubMagic for a few days.
PROs
- Easily upload videos or use YouTube or other social links to ingest content
- Selection of fonts, effects and transitions is great - don't need 100 options, if I only use 5-10
- Branding is easy to apply from video to video
- B-roll can be inserted by selecting words and using Pexels as a source - it gets the job done (it's better than nothing)
- Very good transcription for multiple languages (speech to text)
- You can export the subtitles alone, for use in other tools (ex. Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve) - huge functionality for me, to be able to play around with timings, durations, colors and fonts in a different environment
CONs
- 2 GB Limit is small for file uploads - but I got around that by uploading an Unlisted YouTube video and it worked great.
- Speed isn't as high as other tools (SubMagic), but you only have to wait a few minutes for a 60+ minute video - which I found to be more than acceptable
- Only free B-Roll at the moment - and the associated user experience feels a bit lacking at this time
- Haven't seen an upload-your-own-font functionality, to help keep things even more on brand
Overall, this is easily a 4.5/5 tool, looking forward to more improvements on the roadmap.

Dec 19, 2024Hi Sorin-HowToCreateAPodcastFromScratch,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and balanced review. It truly means a lot to us 🙌
Regarding the cons, let us share some next steps from our end:
- File size limit: we are working on increasing to 5GB per upload
- Speed: Our AI needs a bit of time to analyze the video, but we certainly need to work on it to boost the processing speed
- B-rolls: We are building AI-generated B-rolls.
- Font upload: That's a great suggestion. Let us dig down into it and see how long it takes to build this.
Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to refine Snapcut into the ultimate platform for creators like you. Thanks again for your honest input and for keeping an eye on us—we’re committed to making Snapcut not just good, but great. 🚀
Warm regards,
Khanh, Co-founder @ Snapcut
