FAQ
Stream clipping, answered
Can I send a Twitch or YouTube link?
No. Download your VOD or the local recording and upload the file, or pass a direct file URL to it. Page links from Twitch or YouTube aren't accepted.
My stream ran longer than 3 hours. What now?
Split the file and send each part as its own job. A 4 hour stream becomes a 3 hour part and a 1 hour part, ~$7.20 in total. Each part can be up to 5 GB.
How does it find the highlights?
From what is said. The VOD is transcribed with timed words, then every candidate moment is scored on its hook, whether it is a complete thought, and its payoff. A story, a rant or a big reaction scores well. A silent play does not, because there is nothing to read.
Will it crop out my gameplay?
The 9:16 reframe centers on your face. If most of your VOD is gameplay with a small facecam, the game will not fit in a vertical frame. Ask for aspect 16:9 to keep the full picture, or 1:1 for a middle ground.
How many clips can I get from one VOD?
Up to 20 per job, each 10 to 90 seconds. They are all included in the per minute price, so a full 3 hour VOD costs ~$5.40 whether you ask for 3 clips or 20.
