How to use Game Clipping

Create gaming highlights from VODs, streams, or gameplay recordings.

👀 Availability

Game Clipping may use credits. VOD length, upload source, timeframe processing, and clip settings can depend on your plan.

Use Game Clipping to automatically turn long gameplay videos or livestream recordings into short, engaging clips.

Game Clipping is designed for gaming content. It helps identify memorable gameplay moments and generate clips that you can edit, export, or publish.

đŸ”„ Built for marathon streams

Many gaming creators stream for hours — 4 hours, 8 hours, even 10+ hours in a single session. WayinVideo is the only AI clipping tool that can handle ultra-long gaming videos of this scale. Whether your VOD is 2 hours or 12 hours, Game Clipping processes the entire video and finds your best moments, so you don't have to scrub through hours of footage yourself.

Create game clips

  1. Open Game Clipping.

  2. Upload a gameplay video or paste a supported VOD link.

  3. Choose your clip length and other clip settings.

  4. Choose whether to process the full video or a specific timeframe.

  5. Generate clips.

  6. Review the clips and continue editing the ones you want to keep.

Stream & VOD platform links

Game Clipping supports pasting links from the platforms streamers use most:

  • Twitch : paste a Twitch VOD link to turn your past streams into clips

  • YouTube Gaming : paste any YouTube video link, including livestream archives

  • Kick : paste a Kick stream or VOD link

  • Medal.tv : paste a Medal.tv clip or video link

  • Facebook Gaming, TikTok, Instagram, Rumble, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Google Drive, Zoom, and more

All you need is a public or properly shared link — no downloading, no re-uploading. Paste the link and WayinVideo pulls the video directly from the platform.

Before uploading or importing your video, make sure it meets the supported upload requirements, including file size, file format, and link access permissions. For the full list of supported link sources, see Supported Upload Sources & Limits.

If you are using a third-party video link, the video must be publicly accessible or properly shared.

Choose full video or timeframe

You can process the full video when you want WayinVideo to find highlights across the entire stream.

Choose a specific timeframe when:

  • You know the best action happened during one part of the stream

  • The VOD is very long and you want faster results

  • You want to focus on one match, level, boss fight, round, or segment

  • You want to save credits by skipping low-value sections

Examples:

Situation

Better choice

You streamed for 6 hours and want highlights from everything

Process the full video

The best team fights happened between 03:20:00 and 04:10:00

Select that timeframe

A stream includes several games, but you only want one game

Select the relevant segment

You want a recap of the entire session

Process the full video, then combine clips later

Pick settings for the platform

Choose clip settings based on where you plan to publish.

Common options may include:

  • Clip length

  • Aspect ratio or template

  • Subtitle style

  • Hook text

  • AI Emoji, if available in your workspace

Shorter clips often work well for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Longer clips can work better when the gameplay moment needs more setup or payoff.


Review clips on the timeline

After clips are generated, you'll see a video timeline with markers showing exactly where each clip falls in your original video. This makes it easy to:

  • Review all highlights in context

  • Check what happened before or after a clip

  • Compare several clips from the same match or stream section

  • Decide which clips are worth editing or exporting

For long gaming videos that produce many clips, the timeline gives you a quick overview of where the action happened — no need to re-watch the full VOD.

Next steps: Find Moments & AI Montage

Game Clipping generates clips automatically from your full video. If you need more control:

  • Find Moments — if you're looking for a specific type of moment across a long video (like every kill, every goal, or every time chat went wild), use Find Moments to search with keywords and pinpoint exactly what you want.

  • AI Montage — once you have your best clips, use How to combine clips into a montage to combine them into a single highlight reel with transitions, music, and pacing — perfect for YouTube or end-of-stream recap videos.
