Turn Live Stream VODs into Viral Highlight Clips

Your live stream already happened — now make it work harder. Extract the best moments from your VODs and turn them into clips that keep growing your audience long after you've gone offline.

Scenario

A live streamer goes live for 2-4 hours multiple times per week. The live audience sees the magic in real time, but most potential fans never catch the stream. Repurposing VODs into short clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels is the highest-leverage way to grow — but scrubbing through hours of footage manually is unsustainable. OpenClip processes each VOD, identifies the highest-energy moments from the transcript and commentary, and outputs polished vertical clips ready to post within minutes.

Workflow

1

Download and upload your stream VOD

Export your VOD from Twitch, YouTube, or any streaming platform and upload it to OpenClip. Works with any video file format from your recording.

2

AI scans for viral moments

OpenClip's AI engine analyzes your stream transcript, scoring segments by hook strength, emotional energy, and narrative completeness to find your best clips.

3

Preview ranked clip candidates

Review a ranked list of clip candidates from your stream. Each one includes a viral potential score and a preview so you can approve the best ones in seconds.

4

Customize captions and framing

Pick a caption preset that matches your brand — from bold Beast-style to clean Default. Speaker tracking automatically keeps your face centered in every vertical clip.

5

Yes. Batch processing lets you upload and queue multiple VODs simultaneously. This is ideal for catching up on a week's worth of streams or building a content backlog.
