Turn a Kick VOD into a week of clips
Paste the link. The AI watches the whole broadcast, finds what's actually worth clipping, and hands you back captioned, vertical, ready-to-post shorts — real, working Kick VOD import, not a workaround that quietly fails.
How it works
Paste your Kick VOD link
Grab the link to any finished Kick VOD from your channel. Kick's newer, less standardized video infrastructure has made reliable VOD import a real gap for a lot of clipping tools — OptimaClip pulls it in the same way it does YouTube or Twitch.
The AI watches the whole thing
OptimaClip transcribes the full VOD and reasons over it for hooks, funny reactions, arguments, and teaching moments — not just whatever got the loudest chat spam. Tell it what you're after ("dramatic arguments", "someone getting hurt", a co-streamer's name) and it prioritizes matches.
Vertical clips come out captioned
Every clip is reframed to 9:16, captioned in your chosen font and style, and scored for how likely it is to actually perform — with a plain-English reason why. Export, or schedule straight to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels from the same dashboard.
Built for how streamers actually clip
Dramatic moments and reactions, found for you
The AI moment-search field finds exactly what you're describing — an argument, someone getting hurt, swearing, a specific name — instead of you scrubbing a multi-hour VOD by hand.
Stay in frame while you move
Smart Reframe follows the visual subject through the clip instead of a fixed center-crop — useful for IRL streams or any setup where you're not glued to one spot on screen.
A whole VOD's worth of clips at once
Submit a long stream once and get back a full library of standalone clips, each with its own title, hashtags, and virality score — not one clip at a time.
Publish everywhere, from the same dashboard
Kick clipping FAQ
Does Kick VOD import actually work? A lot of tools claim it and don't.
Yes — reliably. Kick changed how VODs are served in 2026 in a way that broke the extraction method most clipping tools rely on, and it's a real, still-open gap for several competitors. OptimaClip pulls VODs in through Kick's own video API directly, not a workaround that only sometimes works.
Does this work with live Kick streams?
No — only VODs that have already finished streaming and are saved to your channel. Submitting a link to a currently-live channel won't work; wait until the broadcast ends.
Do I need to download the VOD myself first?
No. Paste the kick.com/<channel>/videos/... link directly into New Clip Job and OptimaClip pulls the video in as a source automatically.
Which plan do I need?
Kick VOD import is available on the Creator plan and higher. The Starter plan supports direct file uploads and YouTube links.
