	<h2>How to turn a Twitch VOD into clips</h2>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Four steps. The second is the long one, and you don't have to sit through it.
	</p>
	<ol class="pipeline">
	<li>
	<strong>Paste the VOD link</strong>
	<span
	>The <code>twitch.tv/videos/…</code> link of a past broadcast, or a recording
	saved on your PC. No Twitch login is asked for.</span
	>
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>Let it work through the stream</strong>
	<span
	>It downloads the VOD, transcribes every word, reads the chat replay, and
	scores each moment on what was said, how it sounded, how it looked and how chat
	reacted.</span
	>
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>Look over the clips</strong>
	<span
	>Each one comes back 9:16 with the speaker kept in frame, word-synced captions
	and a title. Move a start or an end, fix a caption or change the layout in the
	built-in editor.</span
	>
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>Post them</strong>
	<span
	>Save the files and upload them to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels
	yourself, or turn on publishing and send them from the app.</span
	>
	</li>
	</ol>
	</div>

	<div class="wrap">
	<h2>Chat tells you where the moments are</h2>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Twitch is the one platform that keeps its chat after the stream ends, and that is
	the most honest signal there is: hundreds of people reacting in real time to
	something that just happened.
	</p>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Clips Kitty reads chat replay and measures <strong>unique chatters per
	window</strong> rather than raw message count. That distinction matters, because a
	gifted-sub train or one person spamming copypasta produces a wall of messages that
	says nothing about the content. Counting distinct people instead means a genuine
	room-wide reaction registers and a single excited viewer does not.
	</p>
	<div class="note">
	Chat is a <strong>bonus, capped deliberately low</strong>. It nudges a moment up
	the list; it cannot carry a clip on its own. What was said and what the audio and
	video were doing still decide the score, because chat also erupts at things that
	do not survive out of context.
	</div>

	<div class="wrap">
	<h2>Built for how streams actually look</h2>
	<div class="grid">
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Long and unstructured</h3>
	<p>
	A six-hour stream is chunked and analysed end to end, so the good bit at hour
	five gets the same attention as the intro.
	</p>
	</div>
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Sparse talking</h3>
	<p>
	IRL and gym streams go quiet for minutes at a time. Analysis is sized by how
	much was actually said, not by the clock.
	</p>
	</div>
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Guests wander in</h3>
	<p>
	The crop stays locked on whoever is speaking rather than jumping to every
	person who walks past the camera.
	</p>
	</div>
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Game streams</h3>
	<p>
	Tick Gaming / Reaction and the webcam and the game share the clip, in one of
	eleven layouts. Twitch says which game was played over which part of the
	stream, so a highlight is judged the way that game needs.
	<a href="gaming.html">Game stream clips</a>.
	</p>
	</div>
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Streamed vertically</h3>
	<p>
	A Dual Format stream already has its phone layout. Tick Vertical Live and it is
	kept as it is. Twitch does not hand its vertical VOD to downloaders yet, so add
	the vertical recording as a file.
	</p>
	</div>
	<div class="card">
	<h3>Viewers abroad</h3>
	<p>
	Captions can be translated and clips dubbed into 19 languages, and you review
	each one before anything is burned in.

	<h2>A free Opus Clip alternative for Twitch</h2>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Opus Clip and tools like it run your VOD on their servers, on a free tier with
	limits or a monthly plan. Clips Kitty does the same job on your own PC, so there is
	nothing to meter.
	</p>
	<ul class="ticks">
	<li>
	<strong>No subscription.</strong> Free and open source under AGPL-3.0, with no
	paid tier. A six-hour VOD costs what a ten-minute one does.
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>No watermark, no clip cap, no expiry.</strong> Every moment that clears
	the bar comes back as a clip, and the files stay on your disk.
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>Your VOD stays on your PC.</strong> It is downloaded to your machine and
	worked on there.
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>Chat counts.</strong> For a Twitch VOD the chat replay is read as well,
	so the moments your viewers reacted to move up the list.
	</li>
	<li class="weak">
	<strong>The catch.</strong> It needs a Windows PC with 16 GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA
	graphics card is strongly recommended. Opus Clip runs in any browser, including
	on a phone. If you have no suitable PC, or you clip only now and then, Opus Clip
	is the better choice.
	</li>
	</ul>
	<p class="section-lead" style="margin-top: 26px">
	The <a href="opus-clip-alternative.html">full comparison with Opus Clip</a> has the

	CapCut.

	<div class="wrap">
	<h2>Hands-off: let it watch your channel</h2>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Add your Twitch channel to the channels Clips Kitty watches. Each new VOD is
	spotted and clipped by itself, starting from the layout you saved for that channel.
	</p>
	<p class="section-lead">
	Turn on publishing as well and the clips are posted without you opening the app.
	Left running on a spare PC or a mini PC, it does this around the clock. A mini PC
	too weak to run the AI itself can hand that part to OpenRouter on your own account:
	in our test, a 2-hour stream cost about 11 cents.
	</p>
	</div>
	</section>

	<section>
	<div class="wrap">
	<h2>What it does not do</h2>
	<ul class="ticks">
	<li>
	<strong>Live streams are not supported</strong>, by design. Clips Kitty works on
	finished VODs, where the whole thing can be studied before deciding what matters.
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>It only posts if you ask it to.</strong> Clips land in a folder,
	organised by creator and video, ready to upload wherever you like. If you would
	rather not do that by hand, turning on publishing sends a clip 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.
	</li>
	<li>
	<strong>It does not need your Twitch account.</strong> There is no login and no
