The Submagic Alternative That Makes the Whole Video, Not Just the Captions

Submagic adds animated captions and B-roll to a video you already have. Kineo makes the entire video for you — it writes the script, records the AI voiceover, finds the footage AND adds the captions, from a single idea, in about 60 seconds. If you don’t have a video to caption yet, this is the tool that creates one.
