How to auto-clip Twitch VODs with AI

A practical guide to recording Twitch streams and turning them into AI highlight clips with AutoVOD.

July 10, 2026

Manually scrubbing multi-hour VODs for highlights is slow. AutoVOD automates the loop: record or download → transcribe → rank moments → export clips.

1. Get the VOD into your library

You can:

  • Paste a Twitch (or YouTube / Kick / Rumble) URL into the Downloader
  • Or enable a live downloader so AutoVOD records whenever a channel goes live

Files land in your Library as VODs or downloads, ready for tools.

2. Run the Clip Generator

Open Clip Generator, pick one or more files, and start a job. AutoVOD:

  1. Transcribes the audio with Whisper
  2. Uses an LLM to rank the most interesting segments
  3. Cuts clips with FFmpeg and uploads them to your library

Tune defaults (clip length, count, language, prompt) in your clip-generator settings so every run matches your channel’s style.

3. Turn winners into Shorts

Send strong clips through the Shorts Creator for 9:16 vertical output, optional animated captions, and ready-to-post files for TikTok or YouTube Shorts.

4. Optional: schedule social uploads

Connect YouTube or TikTok in Automation, then queue uploads immediately or on a schedule — useful when you batch-edit after a long stream week.

Why this beats manual clipping

  • You do not need to watch the whole VOD twice
  • Consistent naming and storage in one library
  • Credits-based usage so you only pay for what you run
  • Live recording + auto-clip options so highlights can start while you sleep
