Eklipse has the potential to be great
Eklipse has the potential to be great! It does amazing at scheduling, However there are quite a few issues with editing and clip farming that holds Eklipse back, mainly with the AI. Let's start with clip farming. 20 clips for a 2 hour stream would be enough if all 20 clips were useable, unfortunately when the AI clip farming only captures 5-10 useable clips it's disheartening especially when theirs a really funny stream that could easily have 20 usable clips. Maybe have the AI look for moments of extended laughter or screaming for "jump scares" just to give a couple ideas. Either make it better at farming clips or give us more then 20 to clips, that way we can find more useable clips. Also streams longer then 2 hours should have more clips. It really should be 10 clips per hour(if they are good clips.) That leads me to the voice command. Voice command works ok, but at times it doesn't pick up a "clip it" or "clip that". Maybe turning up the sensitivity to search for those voice commands could help. Onto AI edits. The AI edits are bad. Most times they don't pick up cameras properly, and the "Funny" or "Witty" clips that it makes usually don't work because either the meme it chooses isn't appropriate for this clip or the timing is way off. It's so bad I don't even bother with the AI edit cause I have to fix it anyway so I end up just editing it on my own from the start. Leads me to the editing feature of Eklipse. First off NOT offering auto caption or captions in general on mobile is absolutely insane. Can't fix an AI edits subtitles on mobile because we I go in to edit the AI edit the subtitles disappear. Another reason I don't use AI edit. My point being, being that it went based. The mobile version should have the same features and abilities that the desktop version has. I only use mobile to check my stream schedule cause I literally can't use it for anything else. It would be nice if I could work or finish a project on the mobile version that I start on desktop or vice versa, but even with the same log in. Its as if the mobile and desktop versions are completely different programs. As for the edits on desktop there are a lot of issues. Now I do understand that Eklipse is advertised as a clip generator and clip scheduler not so much a clip editor but I believe if your AI clips don't get better that you should at least fix the editing tools to make it easier to fix/do edits. First off I love the custom templates for videos it saves alot if time. Secondly I love the green screen memes, for internet clips/Tiktoks it's much needed. There's also a pretty decent amount of audio effects and video transitions that make it easy to edit. Now I do wish we could upload our own audio and visuals (that weren't apart of a stream) like branded logos and graphics, different memes, and ect. Also for being Tiktok focused, the fact that there is now "Follow on TikTok" banner to add to videos and there's only YouTube, Facebook, ect is also crazy. Now a big bug in the editing portion of Eklipse that is quite annoying is Auto Captioning. The auto captions ONLY works on a full clip, where as most editing software works on your project timeline. In my entire editing life, I've never seen a program caption anything but the timeline of the project. If I make a few edits of a 90 sec clip and end up with a finished 15 sec clip there should be NO reason why the auto captions captures the full original 90 second clip and not the 15 timeline of the project I'm working on. It especially makes it difficult when I'm combining clips and the auto caption only works on one clip and not multiple. THIS is a huge issue/bug that needs to be fixed in my opinion because in today's day and age custom captions are key in videos, and the convenience of adding them easily is essential! I shouldn't have to add subtitles first then as I'm editing make sure my substitles move along with my edits so I don't lose them. For a platform that advertises convenience (AI farming, edits, scheduling) you don't make it very convenient and honestly I hope you take all of my feedback to heart, because if you don't, once other AI clipping/softwares and companies so perfecting and catching up then you will fall behind and won't be able to catch up. Ai is in its infancy but if you don't stay up to date and fix in my opinions the easy software issues that have nothing to do with AI then. Like I said Eklipse has potential to be great, but if more bugs start being created and not enough fixes or updates I will be looking for a new software for my teams content.
