What Combo was

Combo was a web editor for Twitch streamers. It turned horizontal clips into vertical videos for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.

You could import clips from your recent streams, add text, images, stickers, and captions, and save templates. Combo could pick a template based on the game you played. It also had a Publish to TikTok option that sent the video to your TikTok app to finish posting.

Combo shut down on December 14, 2023. If you used it, you need a new tool.

If you edited every clip in Combo

Pick an editor. StreamLadder works most like Combo. Its free plan includes the clip editor, converter, and downloader. Paid plans add a post scheduler and AI clipping. See StreamLadder's pricing page for current prices.

Cross Clip is simpler. It is free, and a paid plan removes the watermark. Use it if you only need to crop a clip to vertical and download it.

If you used Combo to get clips onto TikTok and Shorts

Pick Clipbot. It has less editing than Combo. There are two crops: one with your camera and one without. In return, it does the posting for you.

You set custom titles, hashtags, tags, and descriptions for each clip, or set defaults for all of them.

Then Clipbot processes your approved clips overnight, one at a time. It uploads them to YouTube Shorts and publishes them to TikTok.

Clipbot has a 7-day free trial. After that, Pro costs $15 a month, or $9 a month billed yearly. Captions are part of Pro.
