# Clip a Kick stream

Turn a long Kick broadcast into short, captioned clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Paste the link and Cliphi finds the best moments.

Kick streams can run for hours, and the moment worth posting is usually buried in
the middle. Cliphi watches the whole thing, finds the best moments, and turns
each one into a short clip with captions on it.

## Before you start

You need a link to your Kick video. There are three kinds, and any of them works:

- **A past broadcast.** Your whole stream after it ends. On Kick, open your
  channel, find the broadcast, and copy the link from your browser's address bar.
- **A clip.** A short bit already snipped from a stream. Open the clip on Kick and
  copy its link.
- **A stream that's still going.** Paste your channel link while you are live and
  clips can come back before you finish.

Your plain channel link only works while you are actually live. Once the stream
ends, grab the past broadcast instead.

## Steps

### 1. Paste the link

On the Cliphi home page, paste your Kick link into the box and select
**Get clips**.

### 2. Choose how much to use

A broadcast can run for hours, so Cliphi shows you the video and lets you point it
at the right part. Use the whole thing, or drag the handles to pick just the
stretch you care about. Then select **Continue**.

### 3. Look through your clips

Cliphi makes your clips and they show up one at a time, each cut tall with the
speaker in frame and captions already on it. Play any clip to see how it feels.

### 4. Tweak and post

Open a clip to change the look with the controls down the side, then tap
**Get Clip** to make the final version and download it, or **Share** to post it.

## Quick check before you post
