ClipFinder vs Descript
Descript edits the video you bring. ClipFinder finds it first.
Both let you cut a video by editing its transcript. Descript starts from a blank timeline and a file you recorded. ClipFinder starts from your stream: it watches the whole VOD, proposes 4 to 6 YouTube videos inside it, cuts each one, writes the title and makes the thumbnail from your own footage. Then you edit the text.

The thumbnail is made, not picked
Every video comes with its own thumbnail: a frame from that video, the subject cut out, the text set, ready to upload.
Descript gets you to the export. ClipFinder hands you the video and the thumbnail together.
Three real ones, made from one stream.

Which Tool Is Right for You?
Honest advice. We're not for everyone.
Use Descript if...
- You record podcasts or screen captures inside the editor
- You want studio sound, filler-word removal or a cloned voice
- You need 4K exports
- You build each video from scratch and already know what it is
Use ClipFinder if...
- Your raw material is a stream, and the VOD is 1 to 5 hours
- You want the videos found, titled and thumbnailed before you open an editor
- You paste a Twitch or Kick link and never download a file
- You want to pay per stream, not per seat and per hour
The ClipFinder philosophy: We watch the whole stream and cut the videos inside it. You make the final cut.
Every cut comes with receipts: see what was removed, and take it back in one click.
