Cliphi pulls out the best moments, crops them to vertical, and adds the captions and music for you. ## How it works 1. **Paste your Twitch link** Drop in a clip, a highlight, or a full past broadcast. Hand it a whole VOD and Cliphi watches the entire thing to find the moments worth posting. 2. **AI finds and reframes the moment** Cliphi spots the plays and the bits your chat went off for, then crops each one to vertical so your facecam and the gameplay both stay in shot. 3. **Post to YouTube Shorts** Each clip comes out vertical and inside the Shorts length limit, with captions on screen and a title and description written for you. Publish from Cliphi or download it. ## Why Cliphi - **Your facecam stays in shot** Cliphi follows your face and the action frame by frame, so the part people care about never gets cropped out of the tall frame. - **Clip while you are still live** Cliphi can work on your broadcast in real time, so a highlight can go up before you have even ended the stream. - **Keeps working after you post** A written title and description help a Short get found in search and on the Shorts shelf, so it can keep pulling views weeks later instead of dying in a day. ## Going from Twitch to short-form without the editing Twitch is where the moment happens. Short-form feeds are where people who have never heard of you run into it. The catch is that a Twitch clip is wide and built for a monitor, while short-form is tall and watched on a phone with the sound off. Cropping each clip, re-centering your facecam, and typing out captions by hand is the kind of work that quietly eats the hours you would rather spend live. Cliphi takes that part off your plate. Paste a clip or a whole VOD and it looks for the moments that tend to land, the clutch play or the line your chat spammed, and turns each one into a finished vertical clip. Your gameplay and your facecam both stay in the tall frame, the captions follow what you are saying, and the music sits under the moment instead of fighting it. You do not have to clip inside Twitch first either. Paste a single clip when you already know the moment, or let Cliphi find the highlights across a few hours of footage. If you stream live, it can work on the broadcast as it happens, so a good moment can go out while you are still on. ## Sized for the Shorts shelf Shorts has its own rules. A clip has to be vertical and under three minutes, and the first couple of seconds decide whether someone watches or swipes away. Cliphi opens on the moment, keeps the framing tall, and burns in captions so the clip reads even on mute. YouTube leans on text more than other platforms, so Cliphi writes a title and a description too. That matters because a Short can show up in search and on the shelf long after you post it, and it sits right next to your long-form videos, which makes it an easy way to send people back to the full upload. Shorts also leans on volume, so a batch of clips from one upload gives you something to post most days without filming anything new. And because the export is clean with no watermark, it does not get quietly pushed down as a repost. ## FAQ ### Can I turn an old Twitch broadcast into clips? Yes. Paste the VOD link and Cliphi watches the whole broadcast, picks the moments worth posting, and makes a vertical clip from each one. You do not have to clip them in Twitch first. ### Will my facecam stay in the shot? Yes. Cliphi follows your facecam and the on-screen action and keeps them in the tall frame, so the important part does not get cut off. ### Can I clip my stream while I am still live? Yes. Cliphi can work on your broadcast in real time, so a highlight can be cut, captioned, and posted before the stream ends. ### How long can a YouTube Short be? Up to three minutes. Cliphi keeps clips inside that limit and trims to the strongest part, so you are not relying on a slow opening to hold attention. ## Related - [Twitch → TikTok](https://www.cliphi.com/tools/twitch-to-tiktok.md) - [Twitch → Reels](https://www.cliphi.com/tools/twitch-to-instagram-reels.md) ## About Cliphi Clip your Twitch streams.
