How to Batch-Caption Multiple Clips Efficiently in Submagic

If you post short clips daily, captioning one at a time is a tax on your week. This guide lays out a batch workflow in Submagic that turns a folder of raw clips into finished, on-brand captioned videos with minimal repetition.

• A batch of raw clips for the week
• A saved Submagic caption template (see the styling guide)
• A consistent naming convention for files

Step 1: Prepare and name your files

Get all clips into one folder and name them by post date so they stay ordered. Consistent names make exports easy to track once you have several in flight.

Step 2: Upload clips as separate projects

Create a project per clip and start each upload. Submagic processes them independently, so kick off several and let transcription run in parallel while you work.

Step 3: Apply your saved template to each

Open each project and apply your saved custom template in one click. Because the style is already defined, this is fast and keeps the whole week visually consistent.

Step 4: Run a quick correction pass each

Spend two minutes per clip fixing names and jargon. Batch the same task across clips: do all the corrections first, then all the exports, rather than switching modes constantly.

Step 5: Export and organize

Export each clip and save downloads with their post date in the name. Drop them into your scheduler in order so the week is queued before you close the laptop.

Result: five daily clips captioned, corrected, and exported in about 35 minutes total instead of an hour and a half doing them one by one.
