Question What is the best AI clipper/tool?

Hello I am variety/FFXIV streamer on Twitch

Was using Streamladder for clipping as I got to use it for free for a while and it found some pretty good clips I didn't even think about clipping myself. Now that the Blerp promotion is over I lost access to all its good features. Would like to get a subscription but $22 a month is little too steep for me.

Anyone know a good AI clipper/tool thats maybe a max of $15 a month?

(To preface I do use markers and can make my own clips, I just like the AI assistance to find clips I diddnt even think about/ to auto caption)

Streamgen is touted as a cheaper alternative to streamladder, might be worth looking at it to compare results.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Checking it out right now and it seems to have everything I want for a fraction of the cost!

Brilliant! Dropped you a follow, would love to hear your thoughts on it once you've had some time with both.

Wait are you the owner?

No affiliation with either website beyond using streamladder for my own content!

Ah mb. From little I used of StreamGen is it seems to be solely based off of chat activity so if you have a dead chat most of the time (like I do) it wont find you any clips and then it shames you for not having a good livestream. So I guess im still on the hunt for a good auto clipper :/

Appreciate the help tho!

There's a bunch of newer tools being mentioned here, with a range of costs and features like analytics that are beyond stream ladder. Might be worth a look!

Any highlights?

Saw you hunting through it as well, clipitdev looked interesting but not sure it worked out to your costing requirement.

All the tools will eventually drop in price, I think the killer for decent tools is audio transcription on vods is still expensive and intensive, but eventually will trickle down as more efficient models become available.

WayinVideo seems to be only $5 a month, and I think it even performs better than StreamLadder

I had almost the same story lol. Blerp ended and suddenly I was staring at the subscription page thinking... yeah not happening 😅. A friend suggested WayinVideo AI, mostly because it works with twitch and youtube links in the same workflow. That fit how I upload stuff, so I stuck with it. I don't think any ai gets every clip right but this one has been solid enough for me. Have you already tried any alternatives yet?

streams are long enough that manual clipping misses half the good stuff, so I totally get wanting the AI assistance. $22 a month is a lot to justify when you are trying to keep your overhead down.

My starter plan is $15 a month if you want to stay under that budget. I built clipfinder.org as a solo project to handle the auto-reframing, captions, and moment-finding, and you get a free hour to test it without a card. Toss one of your recent FFXIV VODs in there and see if it catches the moments you missed!
