How to post Kick clips on TikTok
Paste a Kick clip link into StreamClip, choose a vertical layout, add captions and export a 9:16 video that fills the TikTok screen. Everything happens in your browser.
Step by step
- 1
Copy the Kick clip link
Open the clip on Kick, copy its URL and paste it into StreamClip. You can also upload a video file you already have.
- 2
Pick a layout
Choose a split layout with your facecam on top and gameplay below, or a single full-frame crop. Facecam can be auto-detected.
- 3
Trim, caption and add effects
Cut to the best part, generate automatic captions, and add freeze frames, slow motion, stickers or animated emojis if the moment calls for it.
- 4
Export and upload
Export in HD from your browser and post it on TikTok. Pro users can publish or schedule to TikTok without leaving StreamClip.
Getting Kick clips ready for TikTok
Kick streams and clips are horizontal 16:9, while TikTok expects vertical 9:16 video, ideally at 1080×1920. Posting a Kick clip without reformatting leaves you with black bars above and below and a facecam too small to see on a phone.
The fix is to reframe the clip: crop the gameplay to fill the vertical space and give your facecam its own frame. Add captions so the clip still works for people watching on mute, and you've got something that looks native to TikTok instead of a pasted stream.
Doing it manually
The traditional route is to save the clip to your computer, open it in a video editor, set up a vertical 1080×1920 timeline, and duplicate the clip so one copy shows your camera and the other shows the game. Then you crop, position, and line them up.
After that you still need captions, which usually means a separate transcription tool and lots of manual timing. For a single clip it's fine, but if you stream on Kick several times a week, the editing quickly takes longer than the clipping.
Kick to TikTok with StreamClip
StreamClip accepts Kick clip links directly, so there's no download step. Pick a layout and the facecam is detected for you, then crop, zoom or trim to tighten the shot. The editor is vertical 9:16 only, so whatever you make is already the right shape for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
Automatic captions are generated with AI that handles English and Spanish slang, and you can choose from about 90 animated styles with word-by-word highlight. Export happens in your browser in HD, and captions are free on every plan, so you never pay extra to make a clip readable on mute.
What's free and what's Pro
On Free you get the full editor, captions and effects, with a small watermark on exports. You can start without a credit card and convert as many Kick clips as you want, then decide later whether the extras are worth it for your channel.
Pro is USD $15 a month or $150 a year. It removes the watermark, unlocks unlimited HD exports, lets you publish or schedule to TikTok and YouTube Shorts from a calendar, and adds AI Clipping to pull the best moments out of full VODs.

Not if you use a split layout. Your facecam gets its own frame above or below the gameplay, and you can adjust the crop by hand.
