<h2>Kick throws its chat away, so the video has to speak</h2>
<p class="section-lead">
Kick keeps no chat replay once a stream ends. On Twitch, chat is a useful hint
about which moments landed. On Kick there is nothing to read, so a clipper that
leans on audience reaction has nothing to lean on.
</p>
<p class="section-lead">
That is fine here, because audience data was only ever a small capped bonus.
Everything that does the real work is measured from the video itself:
</p>
<div class="grid">
<div class="card">
<h3>What was said</h3>
<p>
A local language model reads the transcript for hooks, revelations, strong
opinions and quotable lines.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>What it sounded like</h3>
<p>
Loudness spikes against a rolling median, laughter-shaped bursts, and the
silence-then-explosion shape that marks a payoff.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>What it looked like</h3>
<p>
Scene cuts, motion, and sudden changes in how much of the frame a face fills:
a lean into the camera is someone reacting.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<p class="section-lead" style="margin-top: 26px">
Each signal is normalised <em>within your own video</em>, so a calm chat stream and
a shouting one both produce meaningful peaks. Nothing is scored against some
average of other people's content.
</p>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="wrap">
<h2>Whatever the stream looks like</h2>
<div class="grid">
<div class="card">
<h3>Talking and IRL</h3>
<p>
This is what it is tuned for. The crop holds on whoever is speaking, and when
the speaker changes it cuts to them instead of panning across.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Game streams</h3>
<p>
Kick gives the stream's category, so with Gaming / Reaction ticked a highlight
is judged for that kind of game, and the webcam and the game share the clip in
one of eleven layouts. <a href="gaming.html">Game stream clips</a>.
</p>
</div>
<div class="card">
<h3>Already vertical</h3>
<p>
A vertical recording of your stream already has its phone layout. Add it as a
file with Vertical Live on and the layout is kept.

<h2>A free Opus Clip alternative for Kick</h2>
<p class="section-lead">
Cloud clippers are metered: their plans count minutes, credits or clips a month, and
Kick streams run for hours. Clips Kitty does the work on your PC, so the length of
the stream stops mattering.
</p>
<ul class="ticks">
<li>
<strong>Free, with no paid tier.</strong> Open source under AGPL-3.0. No
subscription and no per-clip fee.
</li>
<li>
<strong>No limits to run into.</strong> No watermark, no clip cap, and exports
that never expire.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Local.</strong> The VOD is downloaded to your PC and stays there.
</li>
<li class="weak">
<strong>The catch.</strong> You need a Windows PC with 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA
graphics card makes it far faster. A cloud tool runs in a browser on anything,
a phone included, and suits you better if you clip only now and then.
</li>
</ul>

<h2>Hands-off: watch a Kick channel</h2>
<p class="section-lead">
Add a Kick channel to the channels Clips Kitty watches, and each new VOD is clipped
by itself. With publishing on, the clips are posted too, from a spare PC or a mini
PC that is left running.
</p>
</div>
</section>
<section>
<div class="wrap">
<h2>Good to know</h2>
<ul class="ticks">
<li><strong>Finished VODs only.</strong> Live streams are deliberately not supported.</li>
<li>
<strong>Kick VODs download as H.264</strong>, which decodes fast in hardware. Long
Kick streams process at roughly the same speed as Twitch ones.
</li>
<li>
<strong>No Kick account needed.</strong> No login, no API key, no rate limit to
worry about.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Posting is optional.</strong> Clips are yours to upload by hand, or you
can turn on publishing and send them to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and six more
at once through <a href="https://woopsocial.com/?via=clipskitty" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer sponsored">WoopSocial</a> or Upload-Post on your own account. This is the one part that
is not local.

<h2>Questions</h2>
<h3>How do I turn a Kick VOD into TikTok clips?</h3>
<p>
Copy the VOD's kick.com/video link into Clips Kitty and press Generate clips. The
VOD is downloaded to your PC, the moments worth posting are picked out, and each
comes back as a 9:16 clip with the speaker in frame and captions burned in. Upload
them to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels by hand, or turn on publishing.
</p>
<h3>Is there a free Kick clip generator?</h3>
<p>
Yes. Clips Kitty is free and open source under AGPL-3.0. There is no paid tier, no
watermark and no cap on clips, and it runs on your own Windows PC.
</p>
<h3>Kick has no chat replay. Does that hurt the clips?</h3>
<p>
No. Kick keeps no chat once a stream ends, so there is nothing to read, but chat
was only ever a small capped bonus. The clips are picked from the video itself:
what was said, how it sounded and how it looked.
</p>
<h3>Does it need my Kick account?</h3>

<h3>Can it clip a Kick stream while it is live?</h3>
<p>No. It works on finished VODs only, by design.</p>
<h3>Does it work for game streams on Kick?</h3>
<p>
Yes. Tick Gaming / Reaction: Kick gives the stream's category, the webcam and the
game share the clip in one of eleven layouts, and in-game moments count when the
clips are picked.
</p>
<h3>What PC do I need to clip Kick VODs?</h3>
<p>
A Windows 10 or 11 PC with 16 GB of RAM, ideally with an NVIDIA graphics card. On a
PC too old to run the AI, the clip scoring and transcription can run through your
own OpenRouter account instead: in our test, a 2-hour stream cost about 11 cents.
