Features

Finds the spikes, not the lobby time

Streams are mostly dead air punctuated by 20 seconds that matter. Moments get scored on how sharply the energy and reaction rise, so queue time and menu screens do not make the cut.

Facecam split layout

The player's reaction and the play itself both stay visible in 9:16. A single crop has to pick one, and picking wrong is what kills gaming clips in vertical.

Twitch and Kick monitoring, not just YouTube

Add a streamer's Twitch, Kick, or YouTube channel and new VODs get clipped automatically, usually within minutes of the stream ending.

Stream-friendly credit math

Twitch and Kick VODs bill only the highlight segments rather than every minute, so a multi-hour stream typically runs 35–90 credits instead of hundreds.

How It Works

Paste a VOD or add a channel

Public YouTube gaming uploads, Twitch VODs, Kick VODs, highlight reels, or reaction content.

The peaks get ranked

Commentary energy, reaction, and what is actually being said all feed the score, so a quiet clutch is not ranked above a loud nothing.

Clips come out ready for the feed

Vertical, captioned, with the facecam split layout where it helps, ready to post to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it detect the best gaming moments?

It looks for the point where the energy jumps and stays up — the reaction, the callout, the noise after a play — and cross-checks that against what is being said so a loud menu screen does not outrank an actual clutch. Where it struggles is silent gameplay: a perfect flick with no commentary has almost nothing to detect.

Does the gaming clipper work with Twitch VODs?

Yes, directly. Twitch and Kick channels can both be monitored alongside YouTube, so stream VODs get clipped without you re-uploading anything. Those sources also bill only the highlight segments, which is why a six-hour stream does not cost six hours of credits.

What kinds of gaming content work best?

Anything with live commentary — FPS clutch rounds, team fights with callouts, rage moments, funny fails, reaction segments. Silent gameplay, long build or farming stretches, and heavily music-bedded montages give the thinnest results, and no automatic tool will do well on them.

Can I automatically clip a streamer's channel?

Yes. Monitoring covers public YouTube, Twitch, and Kick — new VODs get picked up and clipped without a submission step. Starter watches 1 channel, Pro 3, Scale 10. If you clip several streamers, the channel count is usually what decides your plan, not the credits.

How long does it take to clip a gaming video?

About 10–15 minutes for a typical video. A full stream VOD takes proportionally longer since there is far more footage to read — Scale includes priority processing if you are turning around clips the same night.

Is the gaming highlights clipper free?

The free tier gives watermarked trial clips so you can see the split layout on your own footage. Starter is $19.99/mo (200 credits, 1 monitored channel, watermark-free export). Most gaming clippers end up on Pro at $39.99/mo — 500 credits, 3 monitored channels, and 12 clips per video.
