My main use case for Reap was clipping game streams, trading streams, and podcasts.

Game streams: I uploaded a one-hour stream, set the mode to Gaming, and it gave me around 25 clips. About 5–7 of those had wonky split screens. The top screen showed the gameplay, but the bottom screen also showed gameplay when it should have shown the streamer’s face cam.

Trading streams: Same issue here. A couple of the split-screen clips were also wonky, with both the top and bottom showing the charts instead of one showing the streamer’s face.

Podcasts: I tested it with a podcast featuring two people talking. No issues here, honestly. Just use the “Talking” mode and it gives you clean clips that switch the camera focus to whoever is speaking. Pretty neat.

Other stuff:

When removing dead air from a clip, the output becomes unsynced. For example, in a 30-second clip, if there are three parts with 2 seconds of dead air each, removing them causes the audio and visuals to go out of sync.
There’s no audio override yet. So if you upload a streamer’s VOD and their usual volume levels are too low, the generated clips will keep the source volume, and there’s no setting in Reap to boost it.
I’d love to have snapping alignment guides, so whenever you reposition videos or captions in the editor, you can tell when everything is centered.

Other than that, it would be 100% usable for me. I know there are still parts of the product I haven’t really explored, but the things I mentioned above are my core use cases. I’m still giving it 4 tacos since the clip hit rate is still quite high. Out of 25 generated clips, around 20 were usable with only minor edits needed. It gets 80–90% of the work done, then you handle the final touches and post. You could easily distribute multiple clips per day for a brand.

When you guys come back again, hopefully these issues are fixed, and then I’ll finally keep the tier. Thanks for the experience.
