For streams and gaming VODs
Twitch Clip Maker for Streams and VODs
ClipClap is a Twitch clip maker for long VODs: paste a public VOD link or upload the recording, and it transcribes the stream, picks spoken highlights and returns vertical 9:16 clips with subtitles. A paid plan takes a VOD of up to 3 hours, and you can pick one stretch of a longer one.

A public Twitch VOD link or an uploaded recording

Gameplay and webcam context in 9:16
How do I clip a Twitch VOD with ClipClap?
Paste the VOD link or upload the file, optionally pick a start and an end time, and wait for the job to finish. ClipClap transcribes the stream, selects moments built around a reaction and its cause, reframes them to 9:16 with the webcam and gameplay in view and burns in subtitles. Then you review and download.
- 01
Send a VOD you can reuse
Paste a Twitch link or upload the recording. There is no Twitch account connection or automatic VOD import, so you submit the source you want processed each time.
- 02
Find the reaction and the payoff
ClipClap transcribes the stream and searches for moments that can stand alone, such as a joke, a rant or a fail with the reaction after it. The vertical framing is designed to keep the webcam and the gameplay visible when both matter.
- 03
Review action, names and timing
Check that the action stays visible, that the opening explains the moment and that usernames and game terms are spelled correctly in the subtitles before you download.
Which Twitch moments does a clip maker miss?
Selection reads the transcript, so it follows what is said. A quiet clutch play with no talk, a pure gameplay highlight or a chat-driven moment is the most likely to be missed, because Twitch chat and audio loudness are not used. Streams are the hardest source type, so expect to keep fewer clips than from a podcast.
- No automatic Twitch account sync, scheduled VOD processing or direct publishing is included.
- Fast gameplay, tiny webcam windows and loud streams can still need manual checking of the framing and the subtitles.
- A VOD must still be public on Twitch. Once Twitch has removed it, upload the file you saved.
Does the link import work with Twitch VODs?
Yes. Twitch links go through the same importer as YouTube and TikTok, and it fetches the VOD when it is public. If a link will not import, for example because the VOD was removed or Twitch blocks the request, download the video yourself and upload the file, which always works within the file size limit.
How does the vertical frame handle a webcam and gameplay?
When a stream has a webcam inset, ClipClap detects it and builds a vertical layout that keeps the face and the game in view instead of centre-cropping a 16:9 picture. If the webcam is borderless or tiny, the detector can fall back to a plain crop for that clip, so check the framing before you post.
How much of a long VOD can I clip?
A whole VOD of up to 3 hours on a paid plan; the cheapest plan that covers a full one is Starter monthly at €12 ($13.99) for 200 minutes. For a longer stream, pick a start and an end, and only the picked part counts.
Is this the right tool for clipping campaigns?
It works for them, because clips are 9:16 files with subtitles and no watermark that you can submit yourself. ClipClap does not post for you or read campaign rules. If you clip for paid campaigns on Whop, the Whop clipping tool page covers that workflow and what to check in a campaign before you start.
Does ClipClap connect to my Twitch account?
No. Paste a Twitch URL or upload a VOD file you have permission to use. This keeps the workflow explicit, and it also means ClipClap never sees your channel, your chat or your subscribers. It does not monitor your channel for new VODs either, so each stream is a separate submission.
Can I do it from my phone?
Yes. Open @clipclapio_bot in Telegram, paste the VOD link and the clips arrive in the chat, or use the mobile site. The step-by-step phone workflow, including how to copy the link from the Twitch app and pick the part you want, is on the Twitch VOD to shorts on your phone page.
