Gling alternative: ClipX vs Gling
Yes. ClipX is a good Gling alternative if you want short clips from long videos: ClipX picks the moments, follows the speaker in 9:16 and takes YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo and Kick links, for $20/mo with unlimited videos and exports. Gling is the better pick if you edit long YouTube videos: it removes bad takes, silences and filler words, and exports XML to Premiere, Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve, from $10/mo billed yearly.
