Editing videos, subtitling, resizing and collaborating with multiple team members involves back-and-forth, various team members and agencies, all using different tools. Marketing teams need to be able to edit final cuts and work across the whole of the content production-to-distribution chain. There is not a simple tool to do this.

Subly is a software-as-a-service platform that focuses on making it easy to edit and transform created content. We call this ‘re-purposing content’. This means that a user will take footage, audio or video, and re-size, add headlines, add subtitles, translate, create snippets, collaborate and communicate - all within the Subly platform. The user can use the end file for social media content, YouTube, internal communications, product videos, films.

Subly’s vision is to become the #1 leader in repurposing video and audio content.

To use the platform, a user simply signs-up for a trial. They upload a video or audio file. A user can then edit the text that has been transcribed and customise the end result. The platform allows a user to download the completed file with subtitles added to video or an SRT or text file.

Subly is priced per user, monthly or annually. Starting at $14 to $149 p/m. Subly also has enterprise tiered pricing where a company signs up for 10 users starting at $1620 for a year.

Subly has an API in development, starting at $18k initial sign-up and a user would be charged on minutes consumed.
