Find the best moments in hours of stream
without rewatching it

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. Premiere gets its own timeline file, in the FCP7 XML format it imports.

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.
