Import local recordings and YouTube streams. Export longer clips and projects for your favorite editor.
Works with CapCut, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere.

From a raw VOD to a finished vertical short. Every frame is the running app — nothing here is a mockup.
The pieces that turn a multi-hour stream or podcast into something you can actually work through.
One recording, top to bottom
Crop the gameplay and the camera into one 9:16 frame — blurred backdrop, burned-in captions and watermark included.

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.
A cut is a run of transcript lines. Select the lines and the cut takes its in and out points from them.
Chapters detected across the whole stream, copied as YouTube timestamps for the description box.
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.
Import a past broadcast, review the highlights and choose a moment to share. Add captions and export a short ready for TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Reels.
Import Twitch VODs in your browser or on mobile. The desktop app also opens YouTube links and local recordings, including MP4, MOV, MKV and OBS captures.
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.
Turn your chosen moment into a captioned vertical MP4, ready to post. Desktop also exports timelines for Premiere, Final Cut, Resolve and CapCut.
Sign in on the iPhone or iPad app, pick one of your broadcasts or paste a link, and the analysis runs in the cloud while you do something else. The transcript, chapters, chat replay and highlights open on the phone, short renders run in the cloud, and projects from the desktop app show up there as well. 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.
In the desktop app: 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, Adobe Premiere, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Project file for Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve | Yes | 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.
Yes. Review suggested highlights, trim on the transcript or timeline, and create captioned vertical shorts ready to post. For further editing, the desktop app can also export projects to your favorite editor.
Import Twitch VODs in your browser or on mobile. The desktop app also opens YouTube links and local recordings, including MP4, MOV, MKV and OBS captures.
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.
Your first 10 hours of stream analysis are free, with no credit card or automatic charge. Paid plans are Starter $19.99, Pro $29.99 and Studio $49.99 a month, with 10, 30 or 100 analysis hours. Cancel a paid plan anytime.
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.
In the desktop app: 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 and SRT subtitles, and the chapter list copies to your clipboard for the YouTube description. Premiere gets its own timeline file, in the FCP7 XML format it imports.
Browser and mobile imports process and store the source video in the cloud. On desktop, local analysis sends compressed audio and transcript text; uploading the full recording to cloud storage is optional.
In the desktop app: 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.
In the desktop app: 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.
In the desktop app: 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.
Yes, for iPhone and iPad. Import Twitch broadcasts, review transcripts and highlights, create captioned shorts and share cloud renders. Synced desktop projects are available too. Local recordings, new YouTube imports and editor project exports need the desktop app.
Yes, in the desktop app. Paste a YouTube upload or past-stream link, or connect your account to browse your videos. New YouTube imports are currently unavailable in the browser and on mobile.
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.
Files you already downloaded stay yours. Once your trial or subscription ends, further analysis and exports need a paid plan. Download any cloud footage you want to keep; cloud streams are removed fourteen days after a paid billing period ends.
Only footage you analyse for the first time, and only the speech in it. ClipEZ drops long pauses before transcribing, so loading screens, queue time and dead air stay out of your allowance. AI highlights and chapters come out of that same pass and never use extra hours. Reopening a stream you have already analysed, or cutting more clips from it, costs nothing.
Clipping and exporting do not use analysis hours. They are available during your trial or paid subscription. Browser and mobile clips are limited to 3 minutes each; use desktop for longer clips.
When your trial ends or your 10 free analysis hours are used, choose a paid plan to keep analyzing and exporting. You won’t be charged unless you subscribe. On a paid plan, add a one-time top-up or wait for your monthly hours to renew.
Clips keep the resolution and frame rate of your source video. Vertical shorts render at 1080×1920. Every plan exports without a ClipEZ watermark. Output can never be better than the footage you started with.
Yes, in a desktop browser. Create your free account, paste a Twitch stream link and start the analysis. No install or credit card is needed. Your 10 free analysis hours are shared across the browser, desktop and mobile apps.
