Submagic and EditWithChat both turn a talking-head clip into a captioned short. One is a subscription in the cloud. The other is $49 on your Mac.

Submagic adds animated captions, B-roll, zooms and music to short-form video. You upload the clip, pick a caption style, and download the result. It is a subscription.
