Long recording → social clips
Hours of VOD hide the minutes that should become clips.
The chain
Get the recording out of Twitch
VODs live under Creator Dashboard → Content → Video Producer; download your own VODs from there, or paste the VOD URL. VODs expire (7–60 days by account tier) — export or transcribe before they vanish.
Transcribe first
Text is the fastest way to find the moment worth clipping.
Cut clips by transcript
Whipscribe's clipping renders 9:16/1:1/16:9 with burned-in captions from the word timestamps.
For streamers: Clip-worthy moments are found by searching what you said.
Frequently asked
How do I long recording → social clips?
First transcribe first (whipscribe.com/upload) Then cut clips by transcript (whipscribe.com/clipping). You end up with: Caption-burned vertical clips located by search, not by scrubbing.
Where does Twitch store its recordings?
VODs live under Creator Dashboard → Content → Video Producer; download your own VODs from there, or paste the VOD URL. VODs expire (7–60 days by account tier) — export or transcribe before they vanish.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The free preparation tools run entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and transcription is a web upload with an instant no-signup preview.
Is my file uploaded during the preparation steps?
No — the tools-online steps (extract, compress, trim, convert, clean up) process the file locally in your browser. Audio only uploads when you choose to transcribe it.
How accurate is the transcription?
Clear audio in major languages transcribes near-publishable; noisy or accented audio deserves a review pass. The instant preview shows real output on your own recording before you commit anything.
Why does this matter for streamers?
Clip-worthy moments are found by searching what you said.
