Clipea (formerly 10LevelUp) vs Gling

Clipea turns long-form videos into short clips built for social media. Upload a file or paste a YouTube link, and the tool finds the most engaging moments, adds captions, reframes for different aspect ratios, and prepares clips you can publish to TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other channels.

Simon and Fabian built Clipea after running Germany's largest non-fiction book podcast, Schwarz auf Weiß. When audience growth stalled in 2023, they wanted a faster way to repurpose hour-long podcast and YouTube videos into shorts, reels, and posts without spending 5 to 10 hours a week on manual editing.

The platform handles speaker tracking, layout switching between single and multi-speaker frames, and content-aware cropping so clips look native on each platform. Clipea also supports auto-posting, which publishes selected clips to your connected social accounts.

Podcasters, YouTube creators, and social media managers who already produce long videos but need a steady stream of short-form content are the primary audience. The product is engineered in Miami and supports more than 100 languages for native subtitles.

Gling is an AI-based video editing tool built specifically for YouTubers. It instantly detects and cuts silences and bad takes, saving hours of work.
