Castmagic

Paid

Castmagic turns your audio and video into written content and short clips. It is a transcription and meeting notes tool for people with too much content and not enough time to reuse it.

You drop in a file or paste a URL. It writes show notes, blog posts, social posts, and pulls quotes with timestamps. You still edit the output. It is a first draft, not a finished piece.

It works best with English. Non-English content breaks some features. You need to check everything before you publish.

Open it if you make regular audio or video and need help turning it into other formats. Skip it if you need polished short-form video or do not want to clean up AI text.

It fits when this is your situation.

• Marketing and creative agencies managing multiple clients: You keep each client in their own workspace. Your team does not step on each other's work.
• Internal content teams at larger companies: You process webinars and interviews into blog posts and internal recaps. The hours you save add up fast.
• Podcast networks and production studios: You run multiple shows and need show notes and timestamps at scale. Custom prompts keep the voice consistent.
• B2B marketing teams with webinar and interview content: You turn long recordings into LinkedIn posts and newsletters. The AI gives you a starting point you can refine.
• Course creators needing captions and transcripts: You export SRT files for subtitles. Students who need closed captions get them.
• Podcasters and YouTubers automating show notes: You upload weekly and get timestamps without manual work. You still edit, but you do not start from zero.
• Small business owners repurposing existing content: You have old videos sitting unused. This helps you turn them into blog posts and social content.
• Content creators producing regular video or audio: The 30-day free trial lets you test if the workflow fits before you pay.

These are the parts that keep you coming back.

• Speaker-labelled transcripts with timestamps: You know who said what and when. This saves you from replaying recordings to find a quote.
• Custom prompts for your voice: You train it on your past content. The output sounds more like you and less like generic AI text.
• Zoom Pro direct integration: Your recordings import automatically. You skip the download-and-upload step.
• SRT export for closed captions: You make your content accessible without a separate tool. The captions are accurate enough to use.
• Magic Chat for querying your content: You ask questions about your transcript and get answers with citations. It finds moments you forgot were there.

The path is simple once you set it up.

1. Create a "Space" and add your magic words, speakers, and show details.
2. Upload your file or paste a YouTube URL, or connect Zoom Pro for automatic import.
3. Pick your output types: transcript, show notes, social posts, blog draft, or clips.
4. Edit the generated content before you publish it.

Skip it when these limits block you.

• You need automatic clip generation that works: The short-form video output is just centered video with captions. It does not reframe for Reels or Shorts.
• You work in languages other than English: Non-English content loses timestamps and speaker segmentation. You must manually select text to create clips.
• You want publish-ready output: The AI text needs editing. It is 70% usable, not 100%.
• You hit the minute limits fast: The Hobby plan gives 200-300 minutes monthly. Heavy users pay extra or upgrade.
• You need transparent pricing: Custom tiers for Business and Scale lack public pricing. You must talk to sales.
