Turn livestream VODs into short clips

The good moments are buried in hours of stream

A long stream has a few minutes that would make great shorts, spread across hours of waiting screens, breaks and slow stretches. Finding them means rewatching the VOD, and by the time you've cut, captioned and posted them, the next stream has already started. Most streamers end up clipping a couple of highlights, or none.

ChopHub reads through the whole VOD for you, cuts the moments that stand on their own, and posts them across the week to the platforms you connect. There is more on the ChopHub homepage.

How it works for a stream VOD

1. Get the VOD in. If your stream replay is published as a public YouTube video, paste its link. For Twitch and other platforms, download the VOD as a video file and upload it (MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WebM, M4V, FLV or WMV). ChopHub doesn't import directly from Twitch.
2. ChopHub finds the moments. It transcribes the stream and picks passages that make sense without the rest: a strong reaction, a complete story, a hot take. Clips come back ranked, strongest first. You can set a clip length and a target number of clips.
3. Crop, captions and titles. Each clip is cropped to vertical with the speaker in frame and captioned with word-level timing. On paid plans, AI titles are written for each clip.
4. Posted while you're offline. Connect YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X and LinkedIn. The scheduler spreads clips across the week at times ranked from your own results, and keeps posting overnight and at weekends.

Before you upload a long stream

Check the length limit

The longest source you can upload is 30 minutes on Free, 60 minutes on Creator, 2 hours on Pro, 3 hours on Team, and unlimited on Content Engine. For a stream longer than your plan allows, trim it or upload it in parts that fit.

Trim the dead time

Billing is 1 credit per minute of video you upload, however many clips come out of it. A 3-hour VOD uses 180 credits. Cutting the waiting screen, breaks and end screen before you upload saves credits and gives ChopHub only the parts worth reading.

Talking helps

ChopHub chooses moments from the transcript, so streams where you talk through what's happening give it the most to work with: commentary, just-chatting, live podcasts, Q&A and co-streams. Silent or music-only sections won't get captions, and a purely visual play with no commentary is harder for it to spot.

Keep the best clips coming back

Turn on evergreen recycling and your best performers, ranked by real views, are re-queued into open slots, so the calendar keeps filling between streams.
