ClipEasy vs PromptSmart for talking-to-camera videos

ClipEasy

The editing app for creators who film themselves: record it once, post it in minutes.

ClipEasy is an AI video editor for short-form and UGC creators who film talking-to-camera videos and ads for brands. You film a take on your phone or upload one you already have, and ClipEasy finds the mistakes and fixes them. It cuts dead air, pauses and filler, removes retakes and false starts, adds captions, cleans up the audio and blends it across each cut, and tightens your opening, so the video is ready to post. If you want to change something, you edit it yourself in a few taps. It edits up to 10 different videos at once, one per product, and has a teleprompter that follows your voice. It edits your real face and your real footage. ClipEasy is coming soon to iOS and Android, with a waitlist on the homepage.

Best for: UGC and short-form creators who film talking-to-camera videos, ads and product videos for brands, often one video per product, and want stumbles, pauses and retakes cut out without editing by hand or needing editing experience.

• Cuts dead air, pauses and filler from a raw take on its own, and removes retakes and false starts, so you can keep talking and leave the mistakes in
• Adds captions, cleans up the audio and adds overlap audio, blending the sound across each cut
• Tightens your opening as part of the automatic edit
• Edits up to 10 different videos at once, for example one per product, while you do something else
• A teleprompter that follows your voice, keeps up if you skip, stops the take three seconds after your last line, and lets ClipEasy keep the take where you got each line right
• You can still change anything yourself in a few taps after ClipEasy edits

PromptSmart

Voice-following teleprompter app that scrolls your script as you speak and records video while you read

PromptSmart is a teleprompter app built around its patented VoiceTrack scrolling, which moves the script as you speak, stops when you pause or improvise, and resumes when you return to the script. Speech recognition runs on the device, without an internet connection. The PromptSmart+ app can record HD video while you read, and Selfie Mode places the text next to or beneath the front camera. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Android, with a Studio Edition for Windows and macOS and a web portal for editing scripts and running a remote control room. It markets to public speakers, clergy, educators, salespeople, actors, audiobook narrators and podcasters. Its listings describe reading and recording a script. They do not describe editing the recorded take.

Best for: Presenters, speakers and video creators who want a teleprompter that follows their voice while they read a script on camera, on a phone, tablet, computer or studio rig with two-way glass.
