VEED is an online video editor that many teams use to cut real footage, add subtitles and translate videos. Filmagic does one job: launch videos for apps, SaaS and AI products, made from your product link. Both run in the browser, but they solve different problems.

> **The short version:** choose VEED if you are editing footage you already have, such as talking heads, interviews or recordings, and need subtitles or translation. Choose Filmagic if you want a launch trailer in your brand, written and cut for you from your product link.

## How each one works

**VEED** is a browser-based editor. You upload or record footage, trim it on a timeline, add auto subtitles, translate them and use AI tools to clean up audio or generate content. Teams can share and review projects. The free plan's exports carry a watermark, and paid plans are billed per editor.

**Filmagic** starts from your product link. It reads your site for your name, tagline, colours, fonts, logo and screens, writes the scenes and cuts the film to music. You edit any line, then export 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 from one edit, rendered in your browser.

## When VEED is the better choice

- You are editing real footage: a founder video, an interview, a webinar or a screen recording.
- You need accurate subtitles, or the same video translated into other languages.
- Several people need to review and comment on the same edit.

## When Filmagic is the better choice

- You don't have footage yet and want a launch video built from your site.
- You need a launch trailer for Product Hunt or a feature announcement for X and LinkedIn.
- You want your brand colours, fonts and logo applied automatically.
- You want one edit to export 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 without re-cutting.
