A multi-hour stream VOD has maybe a dozen clip-worthy moments buried in it — a clutch play, a big reaction, a funny exchange with chat. Scrubbing the whole thing to find them is the bottleneck. Here's how to speed that up and frame the result properly.
Step 1: Add the VOD
Paste the recording's URL or drop in the downloaded file. Long recordings are handled the same way as short ones — a long-video is automatically split into overlapping analysis windows behind the scenes.
Step 2: Let AI find the highlights
Review ranked clip suggestions across the whole VOD, each with a reason for why it stands out — a reaction spike, a strong exchange, a complete moment — rather than manually scrubbing hours of footage.
Step 3: Frame gameplay + facecam
A plain center-crop cuts off either your reaction or the gameplay — neither is great. A dedicated gameplay-split framing mode tracks your facecam and stacks it over a looping background clip of the gameplay, so both stay visible in the 9:16 frame.
Step 4: Caption and export
Add animated captions so the clip reads even muted, then export — ready for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok. Batch-export the whole set of approved clips from one VOD in a single pass.
Two people on screen instead of gameplay? The duo split-screen mode tracks two faces independently instead of one face plus a background clip.
