Compression Kills Quality.

Tools built specifically for Twitch often aggressively compress video to save bandwidth. This results in pixelated shorts that look bad on TikTok.

The Sintorio Difference:

Sintorio treats your gaming VOD like cinema. We support 4K export at 60fps standard.

Beyond "Kills".

Spikes looks for "kills" and "loud noises."

The Sintorio Difference:

Sintorio's Viral Engine understands context.

  • We find the funny banter between the games
  • The rage moments
  • And the story arcs

Gaming Highlights vs. Viral Moments.

Spikes Studio finds "gaming highlights" - kills, deaths, epic plays. But are these actually viral-worthy? There's no quality metric to tell you.

The Sintorio Difference:

Our Viral Score Engine (0-100) evaluates every clip.

  • Hook Check: Does the first 3 seconds grab attention?
  • Emotional Velocity: Is there laughter, anger, or shock?
  • Filler Guard: Did the speaker stutter?

Clips below 75 are automatically discarded. You only see the fire.

Subscription / Watermarks vs. Clean Exports.

Spikes Studio uses subscription tiers with watermarks on free plans. You pay monthly, and free users get branded exports.

The Sintorio Difference:

1 Minute of Video = 1 Credit.

  • No watermarks. Ever.
  • Pay only for what you use.
  • No monthly subscription required.
