About

ClipFinder is a web tool that converts long livestreams and video-on-demand files into short vertical clips and finished long-form YouTube videos. Streamers routinely leave hours of footage unwatched because selecting moments, reframing them to portrait, adding captions and exporting each clip by hand takes more time than the stream itself. ClipFinder automates that grunt work: it analyzes a Twitch or Kick VOD, a Google Drive file or a direct upload, identifies the moments worth posting, and packages them as shorts or as complete videos.

The service runs its video analysis on Google Gemini, which reads the source end to end — up to five hours per job — and anchors every suggested highlight to verbatim transcript quotes rather than guessed timestamps. It offers two main modes: Shorts mode reframes, captions and publishes vertical clips to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels, while Long-form mode turns one stream into 4 to 6 finished 16:9 videos, each with its own title, thumbnail and cut. Nothing publishes automatically; the creator approves every export.

Key Features

AI clip discovery: Gemini scans the full footage and returns highlight moments with titles, descriptions and scores, tied to exact transcript quotes so timestamps match what was actually said.
Long-form video production: One stream becomes 4 to 6 finished YouTube videos of 2 to 20 minutes, or a single Supercut of the whole stream with redundant parts removed, each with a generated title and thumbnail built from a frame of the footage.
Transcript-based editing: Long-form videos are edited like a text document — delete words and the footage goes with them; the editor also handles silence removal, speed changes, zooms, text and version history.
Vertical reframe and captions: Auto-reframe tracks faces and action for 9:16 output without a blind center-crop, and burned-in captions come with style presets including word-highlight and bold-outline looks, exportable as .srt or .vtt.
Direct publishing: Shorts publish to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram Reels, and long-form videos go to YouTube with their thumbnails, either immediately or on a schedule with per-platform daily limits.
Free utilities: A Twitch and Kick clip downloader (1080p mp4), an AI clip grader and a Hype Map that charts chat reactions across a Twitch VOD are available without an account.
Transcript search: The whole video's transcript is searchable like a document, so any moment can be located by what was said.

Pricing & Fees

  • Pricing: A free tier covers 1 hour of shorts per month plus one one-time long-form stream (watermarked). Starter is $15/mo, Pro is $29/mo ($14.50/mo billed yearly), and Studio is $59/mo ($49/mo billed yearly), all cancelable anytime.
  • Plan differences: Pro includes unlimited shorts hours under fair use, 4 long-form streams a month and priority processing; Studio raises long-form to 12 streams a month and 4 concurrent jobs.
  • Long VOD support: Analysis windows run up to 5 hours, compared with the 2–3 hour ceilings of many competing tools.
  • No generated footage: Every frame in an export comes from the creator's own video; ClipFinder states it does not generate video content.

Who It's For

ClipFinder is aimed at Twitch and Kick streamers who want their VODs recycled into shorts and YouTube videos without an editor, and at part-time or full-time YouTube creators who upload long recordings and need multiple cuts from each one. The showcase examples span gaming, vlogging, piano improv, Reddit-story readings and science content in several languages, so it suits any talking-heavy or gameplay channel. Creators who already have editing software can still use it just to find and download moments; those without one can finish clips entirely inside the browser.
