BeamTake/Alternatives/SendShort alternative
The SendShort alternative where every clip doesn't count
SendShort counts finished shorts: a podcast that becomes eight clips uses eight. BeamTake counts the minutes of source video you process, so one long recording can become as many clips as it has good moments, on every plan, free included.
