Split layout, captions, ranked moments, queued to 10+ platforms. 60 minutes free." --- # Twitch clip maker that keeps the game and your cam in the short > Upload the VOD or paste the link. Cliplala finds the moments, stacks the gameplay over your face cam in one 9:16 frame, burns in the captions, and ranks the clips. No cropped-out cam, no letterbox. ## How do I use the Twitch clip maker? Download the VOD from Twitch and drop the file, or paste a YouTube upload of it. Hours are fine; the plan is metered on source hours. The engine finds your face cam, checks it is a real face and not a character, and builds a split frame: the play up top, you underneath. Captions go in the band between. Ranked clips with reasons. Queue to TikTok, Shorts, Reels and 10+ platforms through Schedulala. Start at https://cliplala.com/tools/twitch-clip-maker: paste the vod link, or drop the file, press "Clip the stream", and the first 60 minutes of video are free with no card. ## What are the steps? 1. **Upload the VOD.** Download the VOD from Twitch and drop the file, or paste a YouTube upload of it. Hours are fine; the plan is metered on source hours. 2. **Game on top, cam below.** The engine finds your face cam, checks it is a real face and not a character, and builds a split frame: the play up top, you underneath. Captions go in the band between. 3. **Queue the clips out.** Ranked clips with reasons. Queue to TikTok, Shorts, Reels and 10+ platforms through Schedulala. ## What does it do? ### Split layout, not a crop that loses the cam Most clippers crop the centre of the game and your cam disappears, or they letterbox and waste half the frame. This one detects the cam region and stacks it with the gameplay, so the reaction and the play are both in the short. ### It knows your face from the game's faces The cam picker tracks how a face moves. A rendered character's face is pasted in place; yours jitters like a real one. That is how it avoids picking the boss instead of you. ### Moments scored on the beat, not just the words A clutch, a rage, a chat joke landing. The picker scores what was said and how, snaps to sentence edges, and drops the clips that need the setup you cut. [The ranking, explained](https://cliplala.com/tools/viral-clip-generator) ### Metered on VOD hours Cliplala meters the VOD you upload, not the shorts it makes. Lite is $14 a month for 4 hours; Pro is $78 for 25. Every plan posts to 10+ platforms, and every plan from Starter up includes seats for a team. The first 60 minutes are free, with a small watermark on the clips; paid plans have none. [Full pricing](https://cliplala.com/#pricing) ## Who is it for? ### Competitive: The clutch, with your reaction under it The play on top, your face below, captions in between. The frame is chosen from what is on screen about once a second, so a menu or a loading screen does not break the clip. ### Variety: Game switches, cam stays Different games put the cam in different corners. The picker re-finds it per stream, and per shot when it moves. ### Just chatting: Face cam full frame When there is no game, the layout goes solo on you, with captions carrying the take for muted viewers. ## What is included? - **Layout per moment.** Solo, stacked or split, chosen from what is on screen about once a second. - **Face tracking.** The crop follows the person, through cuts and camera moves. - **Ranked with reasons.** Every short says why it was picked, so you can disagree with it. - **Burned-in captions.** Word-level, active word highlighted, ten styles. Rendered into the file. - **Bad cuts dropped.** A short that starts or ends mid-thought does not reach you. - **Link or file.** Paste a YouTube link, or upload the file straight from your machine. - **Queue to 10+ platforms.** Post from the results page. No export step. - **Priced on hours.** Metered on source video. From $14 a month for 4 hours. ## What does it not do? - A fixed number of shorts. De-duplication and the coherence check drop shorts on purpose; a tight talk yields more than a rambling one. - A score that predicts views. Every short gets a rank and a written reason, and you can disagree with it. - A time. Long sources take longer; you see shorts as they finish. ## What else do people ask? ### How do I make clips from a Twitch VOD? Download the VOD from Twitch and upload the file, or paste a YouTube upload of it. Cliplala finds the moments, stacks the gameplay over your cam in a 9:16 frame, burns in captions, and ranks the clips. Queue them to 10+ platforms through Schedulala. ### Can I paste a Twitch link directly? Not today. Twitch VODs are downloaded from your dashboard and uploaded here; the upload goes straight from your browser to private storage. A YouTube upload of the VOD can be pasted as a link. ### Does it keep my face cam in the clip? Yes. It finds the cam, checks that it is a real face and not a character, and stacks it under the gameplay in one vertical frame. If there is no cam it goes solo on the game. ### What if my cam is in a different spot each stream? The cam is found per stream, and per shot if it moves. You do not tell it where the cam is. ### How many shorts do I get from one video? It depends on the video. The engine keeps the moments that stand on their own and drops near-duplicates and cuts that start or end mid-thought, so a tight talk can return more usable shorts than a rambling one. You can set a target count and a clip length before it runs. ### How long are the shorts? Between 15 and 90 seconds by default, snapped to sentence edges so nothing is cut mid-word. You can set the range before the run. ### Is the Twitch clip maker free? Your first 60 minutes of source video are free with no credit card. Those shorts carry a small Cliplala watermark. Paid plans start at $14 a month for 4 hours of video and have no watermark. ### Is my video used to train anything? No. Your uploads are used to make your shorts and for nothing else. Source files are deleted after 30 days; the shorts stay. ## Related tools - [Gaming clip maker](https://cliplala.com/tools/gaming-clip-maker): Gameplay and cam stacked in one vertical short. - [Stream highlight maker](https://cliplala.com/tools/stream-highlight-maker): Highlight shorts from a stream VOD, ranked, cam kept in frame. - [Viral clip generator](https://cliplala.com/tools/viral-clip-generator): Ranks the moments most likely to travel, and says why. - [AI clip generator](https://cliplala.com/tools/ai-clip-generator): Generates shorts from your own footage, not from a prompt. - [AI TikTok video generator](https://cliplala.com/tools/ai-tiktok-video-generator): TikToks cut from your own footage, opening on the hook. - [Podcast clip maker](https://cliplala.com/tools/podcast-clip-maker): Turn a two-hour episode into ranked shorts with both hosts in frame.
