Turn a Twitch 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 — no scrubbing through hours of footage yourself.
How it works
Paste your VOD link
Grab the link to any finished Twitch VOD from your channel — no download, no export from Twitch Studio first. Live streams aren't supported yet; the broadcast needs to have ended and saved to your channel.
The AI watches the whole thing
OptimaClip transcribes the full VOD and reasons over it for hooks, clutch plays, funny reactions, rants, and teaching moments — not just whatever got the loudest chat spam. Tell it what you're after ("funny fails", "someone getting mad", 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
Clutch plays and rage moments
The AI moment-search field finds exactly what you're describing — "a clutch ace", "chat going insane", "rage quit" — instead of you scrubbing an 8-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, just-chatting segments where you gesture around, or any setup where you're not glued to one spot on screen.
A whole VOD's worth of clips at once
Submit a 3-hour 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
Twitch clipping FAQ
Does this work with live Twitch 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 twitch.tv/videos/... link directly into New Clip Job and OptimaClip pulls the video in as a source automatically.
What if my VOD is really long?
That's exactly what this is for — the AI scales how many clips it looks for based on the video's actual length, so a 4-hour stream gets a proportionally larger set of candidates than a 15-minute one, not a flat count regardless of length.
Which plan do I need?
Twitch VOD import is available on the Creator plan and higher. The Starter plan supports direct file uploads and YouTube links.
