Why Glimmer

You record once. Then post-production eats your week.

Every long-form recording hides 6 to 12 publish-worthy moments. Finding them is the work nobody warned you about.

Hours editing post-recording

Your two-hour episode took six hours to cut. Multiply that by every clip you needed for Reels, Shorts, and Twitter and the math stops working.

Missing best moments

The line that lit up the room at minute 47 never gets clipped because by the time you scrub back to find it, you have already moved on to the next project.

Manual clip selection burnout

Watching your own footage in 0.5x speed to mark in-points kills the energy you brought to the recording. You stop publishing. The audience drifts.

How it works

From raw recording to ready-to-post in under 10 minutes

01 / Upload

Upload your raw cut

Drag in MP4, MOV, or direct-import from Zoom, Riverside, or Descript. Up to 4 hours per file.

02 / Analyze

AI scans the timeline

Multimodal models analyze speech, sentiment, and facial cues to score every second on highlight potential.

03 / Edit

Tune in the dashboard

Inline transcript edits, b-roll suggestions, and caption styles. Every change re-renders in seconds, not hours.

04 / Export

Export everywhere

9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 generated from one source. Direct publish to Reels, Shorts, TikTok, and X.

Detection engine

What Glimmer detects, automatically

Six signal layers run in parallel on every upload. No rules to configure. No prompts to write.

Laughter

Group laughter, single bursts, and reactions get scored separately so authentic moments rise.

Audio model

Key insights

Sentences that compress an argument into a single, postable idea — the takeaway clips.

LLM ranker

Quote-worthy lines

Phrasing that screenshots well on X, with attribution, timing, and pull-quote framing ready.

Semantic scoring

Speaker emphasis

Volume swings, pacing shifts, and stress markers signal where the speaker leaned in.

Prosody analysis

Topic shifts

Conversation chapter markers auto-detected. Each chapter becomes a candidate clip with context.

Embeddings

Audience reactions

For multi-cam Zoom and Riverside, guest reaction shots are queued as B-roll on the right beat.

Creators publishing more, editing less

"My editor was spending 9 hours a week pulling clips. Glimmer does it in 12 minutes per episode. We re-routed that headcount into research."

Marcus Reeve

Host, Founders Notebook

"The highlight detection finds moments I would have skipped on a rewatch. Three of our top-performing Shorts this year came straight from Glimmer auto-picks."

Priya Lim

Producer, Modern Operators

"We tested four AI clipping tools across one season. Glimmer was the only one whose picks lined up with what our human editors would have chosen."

Dani Khan

Head of Video, Stratechery Media

"I record interviews in three languages. Glimmer is the first tool that handles Spanish and Tagalog without sending me back to clean up subtitles."

Andrea Cabral

Creator, Lateral Thinking

"Cut my editing bill by $4,200 a month in the first quarter. The Shorts engagement actually went up, which I did not expect."

Jordan Tan

Founder, Builders Bureau

"The waveform plus transcript edit loop is the cleanest UX I have used in three years of testing AI editors. Feels like a real tool, not a wrapper."

Built by founders who shipped editors before

We have shipped this stack before. At companies you know.

The two of us spent the last six years building the playback engine inside YouTube Studio and the silence-cut feature inside Descript. Glimmer is what we wanted to build when we still had to ship inside a meeting room.

FAQ

Questions creators always ask

What file formats does Glimmer support?
MP4, MOV, WebM, MKV, and audio-only formats including MP3, WAV, and M4A. Direct imports from Zoom, Riverside, Descript, and Loom are supported via OAuth. We auto-detect frame rate, audio sample rate, and channel layout — nothing to configure on your end.
Is there a maximum recording length?
Creator plan supports recordings up to 2 hours per file. Studio plan supports up to 4 hours. Enterprise has no length cap and adds multi-camera multitrack uploads so you can ingest a full live show with separate guest tracks.
What export resolutions are available?
Up to 1080p on Creator, up to 4K on Studio and Enterprise. Vertical 9:16, square 1:1, and widescreen 16:9 are exported simultaneously from a single source — no separate renders required, no aspect-ratio fees.
Will AI processing cost extra on top of my plan?
No. Render minutes are included in every plan. Creator includes 300 minutes per month, Studio 1500, Enterprise unlimited. Overage rolls to next month for 30 days at no additional cost. We will email you at 80 percent of quota so nothing surprises you.
How accurate is the transcript?
Word error rate sits around 4 percent on clean studio audio and 7 percent on Zoom-quality audio. You can edit the transcript inline and the clip regenerates in seconds. We also keep a per-speaker vocabulary so industry terms learn over time.
Do you train models on my uploads?
No. Your media is processed in an isolated tenant, never used for training, and encrypted at rest with AES-256. On Enterprise you hold your own keys. SOC 2 Type II report available on request.
How long do you keep my source files?
Source files stay for 30 days on Creator, 90 days on Studio, and 365 days on Enterprise. You can trigger immediate deletion at any time from the dashboard and download a deletion receipt for your records.
Does Glimmer work for non-English content?
Yes. 38 languages are supported for transcription and highlight detection, including Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Hindi, and Tagalog. Auto-translated captions across all 38 languages are included on Studio and above so a single record can ship globally.
