Paste a Twitch or YouTube VOD. ClipEZ reads the whole stream and marks the moments worth posting, you trim them on the transcript, and export vertical clips with captions for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Desktop app for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows, and Linux
Finding the clutch plays, the funny reactions and the story beats in a long Twitch VOD usually means rewatching the whole thing. ClipEZ does the discovery and the rough cut; the final edit happens in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut.
Paste a Twitch or YouTube VOD URL, or open a local recording — MP4, MOV, MKV, and raw OBS captures all work.
Transcription starts while the video is still downloading. Chapters get detected across the stream, and AI suggestions surface moments worth reviewing.
Transcript search finds any word in the stream. Click a line and the player and timeline jump to that frame. Take the AI suggestions you want, ignore the rest.
Mark cuts from the text or the timeline, then export MP4 clips, an FCPXML timeline for Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, a CapCut project, or SRT subtitles.
The pieces that turn a multi-hour stream or podcast into something you can actually work through.
One recording, top to bottom
Chapters detected across the whole stream, exported as YouTube timestamps.
Moments worth reviewing, each with a category, a score, and a one-line reason.
The 500 HP grandma picks one person to follow, and everyone else leaves
It locks onto a single target and ignores the rest of the squad. She spends the next minute asking, with decreasing calm, why it has to be her.
Works out that the nun tracks noise, then refuses to leave Natalia's side
The team is still arguing about whether the thing can be killed when it starts moving toward the shouting. Her plan from that point on is to stand exactly where Natalia is standing.
Somebody says the duck is safe to touch, and it very much is not
The warning comes a beat too late. The duck one-shots on contact, and the rest of the run is spent giving it a wide berth.
Search finds any word in the stream. Stepping through the matches scrolls the transcript to each one, and clicking a line jumps the player and the timeline to that frame.
A cut is a run of transcript lines. Select the lines and the cut takes its in and out points from them.
Put one crop on your camera and one on the gameplay, and ClipEZ stacks them into a 9:16 frame with the captions burned in.
Sign in on the companion app and the projects you synced from the desktop are already there. Importing a VOD and running the analysis stay on desktop; the phone reads what came out of it, and short renders run in the cloud. On a tablet you get the desktop layout, with the transcript, player and highlights side by side.
Search the stream transcript, click a line to jump the timeline, and take the AI suggestions worth keeping — without rewatching the whole VOD.
The same searchable transcript and synced timeline work on a multi-hour interview or a long-form YouTube upload. Hand the result over as an FCPXML timeline.
Open the project, mark candidate cuts on a searchable timeline, then hand off FCPXML or a CapCut draft — Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve open with the ranges already laid out.
ClipEZ is the review and rough-cut step in front of your editor. Once you've picked the moments worth keeping, hand them off in the format your editor expects and finish in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut.
CapCut export writes a draft project folder you copy into CapCut's drafts directory yourself. That one is experimental.
Opus Clip, Eklipse and StreamLadder are built to hand you finished vertical clips. ClipEZ is built for the step before that — reading a long stream and deciding what's worth cutting.
| Capability | Opus Clip | Eklipse | StreamLadder | ClipEZ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Searchable transcript synced to the timeline | Partial | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Project file for Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve | Yes | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
| Monthly plan with no per-minute import meter | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Desktop app for Mac, Windows, and Linux | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Yes |
Read from each vendor's own pricing and help pages on 1 August 2026. "Not listed" means their pages don't mention it, not that it can't be done. Opus Clip's pricing page does advertise Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve export on its Pro plan, and bills one credit per minute of source video you import.
No. ClipEZ is the review and rough-cut step before your editor. The final edit happens in Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut — whichever one you already use.
Twitch and YouTube VODs (paste a URL), plus local files (MP4, MOV, MKV, OBS captures). Kick support is planned. The desktop app runs on macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows 10/11, and Linux.
Most of the wait is the VOD download from Twitch or YouTube, so it depends on your connection more than on us. Transcription starts while the video is still downloading, and you can keep working in the app while the rest runs in the background.
Monthly tiers: Starter $20 (~10 hr transcription), Pro $30 (~30 hr), Studio $50 (~100 hr). AI suggestions are included on every tier. When a heavy month needs more transcription than your tier includes, buy a one-time top-up pack instead of upgrading. There is no free tier, and no trial during the closed beta.
Different shape of product. Those tools are built to hand you finished vertical clips; ClipEZ is built for the review — a searchable transcript synced to the timeline of the whole stream, AI suggestions you can keep or ignore, and cuts that open in your own editor. Opus Clip also bills per source-minute of video you import, so one long stream can eat a large slice of a month's allowance.
Yes. FCPXML opens in Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve with every cut laid out in order. CapCut gets a draft project folder you copy into its drafts directory — that one is experimental. You also get MP4 clips, SRT subtitles, a CSV sheet, captions TXT, and YouTube chapters. For Premiere, use the MP4 clips plus the CSV timecode sheet.
Not unless you choose to upload it. Analysis sends compressed audio and the transcript text — tens of megabytes for a long stream, not the multi-GB recording. Project sync between your own machines carries the project snapshot plus transcript, chat and waveform files. Uploading a whole stream to cloud storage is a separate step you start yourself.
Yes — open the capture file directly from disk. MP4, MKV, MOV, WebM, AVI, FLV, TS and M4V all work, from OBS or anything else that wrote the file. One limit worth knowing before you try it: the video has to be at least five minutes long.
Paste the Twitch VOD link, mark your cuts, then tick FCPXML in the export dialog. ClipEZ writes a timeline.fcpxml in your output folder, with every cut in order and the media pointing at the source file on disk. Import it in Resolve and the ranges are already laid out — the same file works in Final Cut Pro.
No. Transcription runs in the managed pipeline, not on your machine, so a laptop with no discrete graphics is fine. Rendering clips uses your machine's hardware video encoder where there is one, and the default "Original" quality copies the stream without re-encoding at all.
Yes — Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, as a normal installer that updates itself. There's also a Linux AppImage. On macOS you need an Apple Silicon Mac (M1 or newer); there is no Intel build.
There's a companion app for iPhone and iPad. It picks up the projects you synced from the desktop app, so you can scrub the transcript, keep or drop AI suggestions, and place a vertical 9:16 crop away from your desk — the render runs in the cloud rather than on the phone. Importing a VOD, running analysis and exporting to your editor all stay on desktop.
Yes. Paste a youtube.com or youtu.be link — a normal upload, a past live stream, or a Shorts link — and ClipEZ pulls it the same way it pulls a Twitch VOD. You only need to connect your YouTube account if you want to browse your own uploads from inside the app.
Yes, and you place it yourself. Open a cut in the short editor, drag the crop over your camera and over the gameplay, stack them into a 9:16 frame, and burn in captions if you want them. ClipEZ renders the MP4 and hands you the file — it doesn't reframe automatically and it doesn't post anywhere.
Every clip you already exported is a file on your own disk and stays yours. What stops is the app: analysing a new VOD and running an export both need an active subscription. If you uploaded whole streams to cloud storage, those are removed fourteen days after your billing period ends, so pull anything you still want before then.
Paste a Twitch or YouTube VOD. Get a searchable transcript, a synced timeline, and AI suggestions for moments worth reviewing. Mark the cuts and hand them to Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or CapCut. Monthly tiers with one-time top-ups for heavy projects.
We'll email you when your invite is ready, and nothing else.
