Clips cut from streams and long video
Spikes Studio finds the moments worth posting in a long recording and cuts them into vertical clips with captions burned on. Plans are metered in minutes of source video a year rather than in clips, so a weekly four-hour stream is the thing to measure before choosing a tier. Free output carries a watermark and stops at 720p, which makes the free plan a demo rather than a workflow.
Our note
Measure your weekly recording hours against the annual minute allowance before picking a tier, because 3,600 minutes a year is only about an hour a week. The watermark makes the free plan a demonstration rather than something to publish from.

Captions and resizing for social video
Zubtitle does one job and stops: upload a clip, get burned-in captions, a square or vertical crop and a progress bar, then download it. The free tier really does two videos a month with a watermark, which is enough to know whether the styling suits your channel. Anybody wanting a timeline and transitions is in the wrong tool.
