How to turn a Kick VOD into clips
To turn a Kick VOD into clips, paste the VOD link into AI Clipping. It scans the stream for its strongest moments, ranks them, and opens each one in a 9:16 editor where you add your facecam layout and captions.

Moments come back in ranked order. Open the ones you like in the editor and adjust where each clip starts and ends.

Make it vertical and export
Choose a facecam and gameplay layout, add automatic captions and effects, then export in HD or schedule to TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Why turning a Kick VOD into clips takes so long by hand
A Kick VOD holds hours of footage, and the best clips are a few seconds scattered through it. Doing it manually means scrubbing the whole stream, noting timestamps, downloading or recording the parts you want, and then reframing each one for vertical. For a long stream that can eat an entire afternoon.
Past broadcasts also don't stay on Kick forever, so waiting too long can mean losing the footage altogether. Check Kick's help center for how long VODs are kept on your channel, and clip the stream while it is still fresh in your mind and in your library.
How AI finds the best moments in a Kick stream
StreamClip's AI Clipping listens to the stream and reads its transcript. Sudden changes in volume, laughter, shouting and the words you use around big plays are strong signals that something clip-worthy happened. The moments are scored and ranked so you can start with the best ones instead of watching everything.
Chat activity is used as an extra signal on Twitch VODs; on Kick, the analysis relies on audio and transcript. Either way, you stay in control: every suggestion is a starting point that you can trim, extend or skip in the editor.
From a ranked moment to a finished vertical clip
Each moment opens in a 9:16 editor built for streams. Split layouts put your facecam on top and gameplay below, with the facecam detected automatically. You can crop, zoom and trim to tighten the shot, then add freeze frames, slow motion, mute zones, stickers or animated emojis.
Automatic captions handle Spanish and English slang, which matters for the many Latin American streamers on Kick. Pick one of about 90 animated styles with word-by-word highlight, export in HD in your browser, or publish and schedule straight to TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
What you need and what it costs
AI Clipping is part of Pro, which costs USD $15 a month or $150 a year and includes 50 hours of VOD analysis per month, watermark-free unlimited HD exports, and publishing and scheduling. That covers several long streams every week.
If you already know which moment you want, the Free plan works too: paste a single Kick clip link or upload a file, and you get the full editor, captions and effects, with a small watermark on exports. No credit card is needed to start.
