<b>The batch-production stack for 30 Shorts a month</b>

Volume needs a pipeline, not a single app.

The stack that holds up (~$45/mo total):
— Opus Clip ($29) to slice long footage into candidates
— Submagic ($16) to batch-caption and style
— YouTube Studio (free) to schedule auto-publish

Verdict: this trio takes a 30-min interview to 8-10 publishable Shorts in under an hour. Each tool does one job well instead of one app doing all jobs badly.

Not for you if you make original-shot Shorts — Opus Clip needs long source footage to earn its $29. Pick this stack only for repurposing. For original content, swap Opus for CapCut free.
