How to cut your first clip
Three minutes from VOD URL to ready-to-ship clips. Here's what happens under the hood.
Drop the VOD
Paste any Twitch, YouTube, or Kick VOD URL on /upload. We auto-detect the platform and start downloading the source audio and video immediately.
Highlight detection
Our signal-fusion engine scans the VOD for hype spikes, comedic beats, and clutch moments. It scores every 15-second window on audio peak energy, chat velocity (when available), emote density, and duration fit. No training on scraped streams — pure real-time scoring.
Cutting + captioning
Top-scored windows are razor-cut to 15–60s clips. Whisper generates word-accurate subtitles. Captions burn into the video with cinematic emphasis in your chosen style — we ship 19 caption styles today (Bold Classic, Yellow Pop, Soft Shadow, Neon, and more) with no-caption as an option.
Reframing
For 9:16 exports we face-track the streamer and keep them in the safe zone. 16:9 keeps your original composition. 1:1 squares crop center with safe padding. A gaming split-screen layout is available when we detect a facecam + gameplay region.
Audio
Every clip is encoded clean via FFmpeg with dialog-forward loudness. Advanced LUFS / EBU R128 mastering is on the roadmap — until then, clips ship at broadcast-friendly levels but aren't hard-capped to -23 LUFS.
Download + publish
Clips land in /clips. Download as MP4 or publish directly to YouTube Shorts with one click (OAuth the first time; scheduled posting supported). TikTok, Instagram Reels, and X publishing are next up — until then, export lands 9:16-ready for manual upload.
