Wave.video
Wave.video is an online video platform combining an editor, recorder, live streaming studio, thumbnail maker, and video hosting. It may suit creators and small teams that need to produce and broadcast video without assembling several separate tools, though plan limits and destination support need checking before committing.
Visit website (opens in a new tab)Wave.video is an online video platform at wave.video. Its official description combines a video editor, live streaming studio, thumbnail maker, video recorder, stock library, and video hosting in one service. It is therefore less a specialist social-media scheduler than a browser-based production and distribution workspace for people who need to make, record, stream, or host video.
What Wave.video does
The core job is to move a video from source material to a finished asset or live broadcast. The editor is documented for resizing and trimming clips, combining clips, changing layouts, adding text animations, stickers, and transitions, and generating editable captions and custom subtitles. Wave.video homepage The same platform advertises a stock library, with the pricing page distinguishing a 2 million asset library from a larger 200 million asset library on higher tiers. Wave.video pricing
Recording is handled in two ways. In the editor, a Simple recording mode offers camera-only, camera plus screen, or screen plus audio capture; an Advanced mode in the live studio is intended for more complex recordings with guests, overlays, and layouts. Video Recording Inside Video Editor The live studio organizes output under My Streams & Recordings, with sections for Upcoming, In progress, Past, and Destinations, plus buttons for setting up a live stream or webinar, starting a new recording, and opening the studio. Getting started with Wave.video live studio
For live production, Wave.video documents multistreaming to multiple channels at once, guest invitations, branded broadcasts, and the ability to broadcast pre-recorded video rather than only a live camera feed. Wave.video homepage A separate thumbnail maker can remove a photo background, apply layouts, and add a title. Wave.video homepage Hosting is the storage and playback side: the homepage describes secure video hosting, while the pricing page lists embed, traffic, and storage allowances. Wave.video pricing
Who it fits
From the documented features, the clearest fit is a creator or small team that wants one place to record a explainer or demo, edit it, create a thumbnail, and either publish it as a hosted video or use it in a live stream. The recording options are explicitly positioned for tutorial videos, product demos, and instructional content, which is a practical signal for educators, product marketers, and solo creators who record their own screen and camera. Video Recording Inside Video Editor
Bloggers may find two documented pieces relevant: hosted video with embed allowances, and a thumbnail maker for video listings. Wave.video pricing Wave.video homepage Those features support adding video to editorial content, but the supplied sources do not document a direct blog CMS integration or an automated repurposing workflow from articles to video. Freelancers producing video deliverables may also use the editor and recorder, but client review, asset approval, and project handoff are not described in the supplied material.
Small teams should treat fit as conditional. Wave.video documents guest participation in live streams and multi-channel streaming, which can support a small production team or a webinar-style program. Wave.video homepage However, the supplied sources do not establish user roles, approval chains, shared content calendars, or seat-based collaboration. A team that mainly needs social post scheduling, approvals, and analytics should not assume those capabilities from the video-production feature set.
Features and platform support
Editing, recording, and assets
The editor is the center of the product. Documented operations include resizing, trimming, combining clips, changing layouts, text animation, stickers, transitions, and captions or subtitles. Wave.video homepage The stock library is plan-dependent: the pricing page contrasts a 2 million asset library with a 200 million asset library and also lists video length and frame-rate differences across tiers. Wave.video pricing
Recording can be simple or advanced. Simple recording covers webcam, webcam plus screen, and screen plus audio. Advanced recording in the live studio is the option described for guests, overlays, and layout use. Video Recording Inside Video Editor The thumbnail tool is separate from the editor and is described as a way to remove a photo background, apply a layout, and add a title. Wave.video homepage
Live streaming and destinations
Wave.video’s live studio is built around connected destinations. The help article says the Destinations area shows destinations connected to the Wave.video account, and names Facebook page, group, or profile; YouTube; Twitch; LinkedIn profile or page; and custom RTMP as examples. Getting started with Wave.video live studio This is evidence of streaming destinations, not evidence that every social network, account type, or content format is supported for publishing or analytics. In particular, the supplied list does not establish Instagram or X (Twitter) as destinations.
| Platform or endpoint | Account or asset type | Documented function | Support mode | Plan requirement | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Page, group, or profile | Live stream destination | Connected destination documented | Not stated | Live studio help | |
| YouTube | Not specified | Live stream destination | Connected destination documented | Not stated | Live studio help |
| Twitch | Not specified | Live stream destination | Connected destination documented | Not stated | Live studio help |
| Profile or page | Live stream destination | Connected destination documented | Not stated | Live studio help | |
| Custom RTMP | Custom streaming endpoint | Live stream destination | Connected destination documented | Not stated | Live studio help |
The table should not be read as a complete support matrix. The same help article ends the destination list with ‘etc.’, which signals that the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive, while the pricing page does not map destinations to plans. Getting started with Wave.video live studio Wave.video pricing Readers should confirm the exact account type and plan entitlement for each destination before relying on it for a production schedule.
Scheduling and hosting
Wave.video documents scheduling for live streams and webinars: the Setup Live Stream path lets a user choose destinations and schedule the stream for later or start it immediately. Getting started with Wave.video live studio That supports a planning workflow for broadcast events. It does not establish a general social-media content calendar for ordinary posts across Instagram, LinkedIn, or X.
Hosting is sold with measurable allowances. The pricing excerpt lists embed counts, monthly traffic, and storage across tiers, including smaller allowances such as 5 embeds, 10 GB per month, and 10 GB storage, larger allowances such as 20 embeds, 150 GB per month, and 30 GB storage, and an advanced hosting entry with 200 embeds and 500 GB per month and storage. Wave.video pricing Because the excerpt’s table is truncated, the plan-by-plan mapping of those figures should be checked on the live pricing page.
Pricing structure and practical cost
Wave.video is presented as a paid subscription product in the supplied pricing excerpt. Three plan names are shown: Streamer at $16/mo, Creator at $24/mo, and Business at $48/mo. Wave.video pricing The excerpt does not state the currency, tax treatment, annual prepayment terms, seat counts, or whether a free plan or trial exists. It also does not make clear which add-ons are available. Those omissions matter because a monthly plan price is not the total cost of a production workflow if stream duration, guest count, hosting traffic, storage, or embeds push a user to a higher tier.
| Plan | Displayed price | What the excerpt establishes |
|---|---|---|
| Streamer | $16/mo | Lowest displayed paid plan in the supplied excerpt |
| Creator | $24/mo | Middle displayed paid plan |
| Business | $48/mo | Highest displayed paid plan |
The feature rows show meaningful tier separation even where the excerpt’s column order is hard to follow. Editor entries mention a 15-minute limit with a watermark, a 5-minute limit for videos and GIFs, a 30-minute limit, and a 2-hour limit at 60fps. Wave.video pricing Streaming entries range from 2 channels, 6 guests, 1 hour per stream, and 720p to 5 channels, 10 guests, 4 hours per stream, and 1080p, with a mid-tier note about 2 cameras and 3 screen or video shares per guest. Wave.video pricing Hosting entries move from 5 embeds and 10 GB allowances to 20 embeds and 150 GB/30 GB allowances, with an advanced hosting row at 200 embeds and 500 GB. Wave.video pricing
As a hypothetical cost illustration only, if a reader paid the displayed monthly rate for 12 months at the same rate, with no tax, add-on, overage, or annual discount, the totals would be 12 × $16 = $192 for Streamer, 12 × $24 = $288 for Creator, and 12 × $48 = $576 for Business in the displayed currency. This is arithmetic on the published rates, not a quote or a promise of the amount a specific buyer would pay.
Strengths, limitations, and trade-offs
The main strength is consolidation. Wave.video documents editing, recording, thumbnail creation, live streaming, and hosting as parts of one platform, which can reduce the number of separate tools needed for a basic video workflow. Wave.video homepage The live studio’s destination connections and multistreaming support are useful for creators who need to send one production to several channels without assembling a separate streaming stack, while pre-recorded broadcast support gives a fallback for scheduled events that are not truly live. Wave.video homepage
The constraints are mostly about scope and plan fit. The supplied pricing page indicates paid plans with watermarks and duration limits on lower editor entries, and streaming or hosting allowances that change by tier. Wave.video pricing A reader planning a weekly stream should check the channels, guests, stream length, resolution, embeds, traffic, and storage attached to the intended plan, not only the headline monthly price. The destination list is broad but not a guarantee of support for every account type or platform; Instagram and X are not established by the supplied material, and analytics or reporting for connected channels is not documented there. Getting started with Wave.video live studio
Team collaboration is another trade-off to confirm. Guests can be invited to live productions, and plan entries mention guest limits, but the sources do not document roles, permissions, approval workflows, or shared review spaces. Wave.video homepage Wave.video pricing A small team that only needs to produce and stream together may find the guest model sufficient; a team that needs formal client sign-off should verify that workflow separately.
Evidence scope and next checks
This profile is based on Wave.video’s official homepage, pricing page, and two help-center articles. It is documentary evidence, not a hands-on test: no account was used, no stream was run, and no plan limits were measured for this profile. Product status is not separately asserted here beyond the accessibility of those official pages. The exact plan-to-feature mapping, currency, billing terms, free-plan availability, analytics, and account-type restrictions remain unconfirmed in the supplied material.
Before committing, a reader should check the following:
- Which editor limits, watermark rules, stock-library access, and export options come with the chosen plan. Wave.video pricing
- Whether every intended live destination is supported for the required account type, and whether the plan covers the needed channels, guests, duration, and resolution. Getting started with Wave.video live studio
- Whether hosting embeds, monthly traffic, and storage are enough for the expected audience and video library. Wave.video pricing
- Whether scheduling is limited to streams and webinars or also covers ordinary social posts, which the supplied sources do not establish. Getting started with Wave.video live studio
- Whether team roles, approvals, analytics, and billing in the reader’s currency are available; these are not documented in the supplied excerpts.
The practical next step is to open the official pricing page and the live studio help article, match the reader’s intended destinations and production length to a plan, and confirm any missing term directly with the vendor before paying.
