Spikes Studio

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.

Three tiers with an annual toggle that advertises up to 57 percent off, and whose selected state the page does not state. Basic is free and gives demo clips, 720p export and auto-captions with a watermark on the output. The middle plan is $14.09 a month billed annually for 3,600 minutes of source video a year, which the page works out at $0.015 a minute, and removes the watermark at 1080p. The top plan is $56.34 a month for 14,400 minutes, adding custom templates, a premium editor and unlimited storage. API access is by application rather than a listed feature.

A streamer or podcaster with hours of recording a week and no time to watch it back. If you already know which thirty seconds you want, a manual editor will produce a better clip and take about as long.
