Clyper vs Reap

Why clippers pick Clyper over Reap

1. 1

   You choose how many clips

   Reap has no setting for how many clips you get: its help center says a 30 to 60 minute video typically gives 23 to 32, and asking for a number in a prompt, a feature in private beta, only nudges it. On Clyper you choose, up to one for every 2 minutes of video and 30 in all, or leave it on Auto. Each runs 20 to 60 seconds and starts and ends on a whole sentence.

2. 2

   Framing for podcasts and streams alike

   Reap's face tracking is marked beta, with Fill, Fit and Split layouts, and its gamers page says it works from spoken content, that HUD elements “can fall outside a vertical crop” and that silent gameplay is its weak case. Clyper follows whoever's talking, cuts to the other person when they answer, and stacks a stream's webcam over the game.

   Clipping someone else's stream or podcast still takes their permission, which clipping campaigns give.

3. 3

   A hook score on every clip, on every plan

   Reap gives each clip a virality score on its paid plans. Clyper gives every clip a hook score on every plan, Starter included, so when one video gives you a dozen clips you know which to post first. If one needs a nudge, trim it, extend either end by up to 15 seconds or fix a word.

4. 4

   Videos up to 4 hours, ready for paid work

   Reap's help center says its uploads run from 1 minute to 3 hours, and its pages say Kick links aren't supported. Clyper takes any public or unlisted YouTube link up to 4 hours long, or a file up to 4 GB, and Studio takes 10 links at once. There's no free plan, but every plan exports without a watermark, ready for the campaigns that pay you.
