What it really isStreamlabs Podcast Editor (formerly Type Studio) — text-based AI video and podcast editor.
Our takeOriginally launched as Type Studio, this text-based video editor was acquired by Streamlabs and rebranded as Streamlabs Podcast Editor — typestudio.co now fully redirects to Streamlabs.
The $14/mo standalone pricing no longer exists; Pro features are now bundled exclusively inside Streamlabs Ultra at $27/mo or $189/yr, which also includes four other creator tools. A limited free tier remains available.
Why we rate itThe transcript-based editing workflow removes the single biggest friction point in podcast and talking-head video editing.
If you're already in the Streamlabs ecosystem the Ultra bundle is good value; if you only need the editor it's a forced upsell.
The catchNo longer sold as a standalone tool — Pro features require the full Streamlabs Ultra bundle ($27/mo), which may feel expensive for creators who have no use for the streaming or multistreaming features bundled alongside.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: upload a video and a transcript appears within minutes; first cuts can be made immediately with no learning curve.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Upload size and clip length are capped on the free tier; scaling to Pro locks you into the full Ultra subscription cost.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: exports to standard video/audio formats, but all projects and workflows live inside the Streamlabs cloud ecosystem.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, start on the free plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Type Studio and what problem does it solve?

Type Studio is an AI-powered text-based video editing tool that lets you edit videos by editing text instead of timelines. It solves the problem of complex video editing by turning spoken content into editable text.

How does Type Studio change the video editing workflow?

Instead of cutting clips manually, Type Studio allows users to delete words, sentences, or paragraphs from a transcript, and the video automatically updates. This makes editing interviews, podcasts, and talking-head videos much faster.

Who benefits most from using Type Studio?

Type Studio is ideal for content creators, YouTubers, podcasters, educators, and marketers who work with spoken content regularly and want quick edits without professional editing skills.

Can Type Studio be used for subtitles and captions?

Yes. Type Studio can auto-generate subtitles, let users edit them easily, and export captions in multiple formats—making videos more accessible and social-media ready.

Why choose Type Studio instead of traditional video editors?

Unlike traditional editors that require timeline control and technical knowledge, Type Studio offers a text-first, beginner-friendly approach that saves time and reduces complexity for speech-based video content.
