How to choose
Prioritize agents with explicit subtitle timing and vertical export if your output is TikTok or Reels. Check pricing against volume: FastCut is fixed monthly while others are usage-light or open-source. Test subtitle accuracy on your language and accent first—many still need light corrections. Avoid marketplace-style tools like ClipsFast when you need direct editing control. Start with one that matches your main input type (streams, podcasts, or raw clips) to minimize workflow friction.
