Spikes Studio

The AI clip generator engine scans a long video and marks the passages most likely to grab attention, then cuts them into short clips. Spikes Studio trained this model on hundreds of thousands of broadcasts, according to the company, and it reads across 99+ languages. The point is to skip the manual scrubbing that eats most of an editing session.

Automatic captions transcribe speech and place styled text over the clip. Paid plans add animated captions, the moving, word-by-word style common on short-form feeds. Captions matter here because most viewers watch vertical video with the sound off, and this feature is the difference between a clip that reads on mute and one that doesn't.

The editor inserts AI-generated B-roll and automatic transitions and effects to fill gaps and smooth cuts. B-roll is the extra footage editors cut away to when the main shot gets static, and here the tool generates it rather than pulling from a stock library. Paid plans give you fuller access to these effects.

Auto reframe repositions a talking head or scene into vertical, square, or wide framing, so one recording fits every feed. Exports run at 720p on the free plan and up to 1080p on paid tiers. That covers the aspect ratios TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and LinkedIn each expect.

You can connect social accounts and publish or schedule clips from inside Spikes Studio. A visual content calendar and smart posting suggestions reveal when to push each clip, and direct posting covers LinkedIn, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. Social media scheduling takes the clip-making and the clip-posting off two separate to-do lists.

A single dashboard tracks views, engagement, and per-post growth across platforms. Historical trend analysis and pattern recognition show which formats and moments drive results, so your next batch leans on what already worked. This is where the tool stops being just a cutter and starts guiding the content plan.

Custom brand templates, text overlays, fonts, and styles keep every clip on-brand, and paid plans unlock the fuller set. Drag-and-drop organization, custom project folders, and shared team workspaces let a small team manage several clients without losing track of files. Enterprise adds custom templates, an account manager, and unlimited storage.

Enterprise customers can apply for API access to automate clip generation at scale. The API suits teams that want to fold clipping into their own pipeline rather than work inside the browser app. It's an enterprise-only option, not something the free or PRO+ plans include.
