Castmagic Reviews

I recently purchased Cast Magic T3 because of all the raving reviews, and while there are some useful features, I’ve encountered significant issues that make it hard to recommend.

One major problem is the functionality of YouTube links. It’s currently not working, forcing me to manually download my YouTube videos and upload them to Cast Magic. This workflow is anything but efficient, and it's frustrating that I have to go through these extra steps. Every other app I know handles YouTube links for transcriptions without a hitch, so it feels like a lack of resources or urgency on Cast Magic's part to fix this. For me, this is a dealbreaker.

Additionally, I've been trying to generate some shorts in the Studio feature for the past couple of days, but I keep running into errors. I reached out to their support team, who confirmed there is a bug they're working on. While I appreciate their quick response, it was frustrating that there was no apology or friendly tone in their reply. It felt like I was inconveniencing them rather than them supporting me as a customer.

Besides these issues, the app is okay, but honestly, it doesn't offer anything I couldn't automate with ChatGPT. If Cast Magic doesn’t resolve the Studio bugs and get the YouTube link functionality working soon, I will be requesting a refund. It’s disappointing because I see potential in the app, but these problems are major hurdles that must be addressed quickly.

Had a first crack at it with a couple of long form videos.
The transcript is good, but could be better. Still the option to edit it and correct specific names or jargon works fine. Assigning speakers automatically works great. As well as editing them. Really love that feature.
The creation of different style text posts based upon this transcript and the option to create from several standard prompts is an interesting one and works well. Also creating your own custom prompts works well. This would be the reason for me to keep going.
Because what they call the Studio is not good at all for the moment. I understand they're working on improvements. That's good, because it needs a lot of them.
For me, at this moment in time, it's unusable though. When switching sizes from the original 9:16 to any of the other options slices up the video in a strange way and there is no way to just have the video fit within or choose yourself what part of the video you would like to cut or show. Captions can not be moved to a better spot and you have limited options in styling them. Rendering takes forever and I have had several examples where rendering just halted and nothing was produced at all.
Tried support once and they were very responsive and trying to do their best but when they could not tell me what was going wrong themselves and had to refer to their developpers I 'm still waiting for that follow up.
All in all I had higher hopes from the reviews and comments I read before jumping on. I started out with tier 2 and thought if all went well to upgrade quickly. Guess for now I will keep it, crossing fingers they improve, but have not been convinced to upgrade so far...

I can't speak highly enough for the customer service Castmagic offers. They're quick to respond and genuinely want to help find answers to your questions. I don't think I've ever worked with a team as helpful as this in any of the online programs I've ever used.

I really like this app and I'm happy with the purchase so far. I'm giving four stars because I feel like the studio is primitive. When it comes to audiograms, captions, and images, there is so much more potential. This app needs the ability to upload photos and logos, change fonts, change colors, and change backgrounds for the content we are creating. HUGE potential but the studio needs polish. The AI is amazing, and the content it produces and suggests is beautiful, but I want an app that's going to put out images, videos, and graphics that look amazing. This is a shortfall right now for an app that's this mature. Please roadmap a Studio Overhaul ASAP. Thank you.

I recently experinced CastMagic, and it has completely revolutionized how I create and repurpose content for social media. What I love most about it is how effortless it makes turning long-form audio or video content, like podcasts and webinars, into engaging short clips for platforms like Instagram, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok. The AI is surprisingly accurate—its transcript editing and speaker detection features save me so much time. Plus, the ability to generate tailored audiograms and captions directly from my content is a game-changer.

For an in-depth look and a detailed walkthrough of all the features CastMagic offers, I’d recommend watching this video: https://youtu.be/TC4zpoq4MIo It’s clear, concise, and really shows how powerful this tool is in action!

As a content creator, it feels like having an extra member on my team who knows exactly what I need. If you're someone who struggles with the labor-intensive process of converting long videos into sharable, snappy content, CastMagic is absolutely worth a try. Highly recommended for marketers, YouTube creators, and podcasters looking to repurpose content for maximum reach and engagement.
