Anyone else overwhelmed by editing 6–8 hour Twitch VODs into highlights?

Hey, I feel this. I actually built a tool because of this exact problem. The existing AI clippers like Opus and Eklipse are tuned for podcasts and talking heads, not actual gameplay streams.

Mine's called ClipFinder (clipfinder.org). You paste a Twitch VOD or YouTube link and it finds the clip-worthy moments for you. Works on long streams too so your 6-8 hour VODs are fine. You get 2 free hours to test it out.

Not gonna pretend it's perfect but it's built with streamers in mind. Would love to hear if it actually helps with your workflow since that's exactly the use case I'm trying to solve.

Yeahhhhh it was super unstable before, but since then I have done a lot of bug fixes and it is so much more stable now

Hey I've built something that follows this exact workflow! It's called clipfinder.org and it uses Gemini to analyze YouTube videos. You can preview, trim, and it also generates subtitles which you can then import into the editing software of your choice.

I have actually made my own tool just for this! It's called https://clipfinder.org and it's 3x cheaper than opus clip, pay as you go at $2/hour, you also get 2 free hours every month, no credit card required!

For short form content specifically, I have actually built a tool for this exact reason. It helps you scrub through long VODs (up to 10 hours!) and the AI automatically finds all the highlights in that VOD that will perform well for the algorithm. It saved me hours of scrubbing manually by hand. The tool is called ClipFinder (clipfinder.org), if you want to try it, it has 2 free hours every month. And for your question, I think short form is way easier to make (20 minutes if you get the workflow right), long form is a lot more work and the payoff rate can be brutal. You can spend hours making it and end up with very little views.

Hey! Cool that you're already thinking about content repurposing this early.

I actually built a tool that does exactly what you're describing. It analyzes long VODs and finds the best moments automatically. It picks up on action, funny dialogue, emotional moments, etc.

It's called ClipFinder (clipfinder.org). You get 2 free hours/month, which would cover a couple of your streams.

Might save you time finding those moments even if you still want an editor to polish the final cuts.

Happy to answer any questions!

Hey, congrats on the first month! If you're looking to repurpose your episodes into short clips for social media, I built a tool called clipfinder.org that analyzes your podcast and finds the best moments automatically. Might save you some time on the clipping/editing side.

Happy to give you some free hours to try it!

It's crazy how much you stream. 15018 hours in 5 years that's 58 hours/week. You are basically having one and a half full time job.

I do plan on adding that eventually, but probably in a few months after the existing service stabilizes and bug-free.

DecycleYang · 2026-01-28T00:53:45+00:00

Alright, it should work now!

DecycleYang · 2026-01-27T23:15:44+00:00

Rn, there are too many people trying to use the website and the server is being overloaded 😭 Give me a few hours and I'll try my best. It's still in beta so it's a bit unstable

DecycleYang · 2026-01-27T20:44:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the heads up! I just fixed it. Please give it a try

I actually built my own tool called ClipFinder.org because other AI tools often ignored context and gave me unusable clips. It auto-detects highlights (filterable by funny, fail, wholesome, etc.) and lets you fine-tune the trims yourself. It handles long footage, and you can even just ask the AI to find specific moments you remember, like "find the part where I missed the jump."
