Stream VOD Highlight Finder for Clips
Mines a stream transcript and chat log for standalone clips with exact in/out points, hook text, scores, and rights flags.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
I can help you identify highlight moments from your stream. Good clippable moments often include: - Funny or unexpected reactions - Emotional peaks or big wins - Insightful or quotable statements - Dramatic turning points - High-energy sequences If you share the transcript, I can scan it and flag moments that might work as clips. Timestamps would help so you can find them in the recording. Generally, clips that work well are self-contained, have a strong hook in the first few seconds, and run 15-60 seconds.

Scanned the full 3-hour transcript. 7 clippable moments, ranked by clip
potential — not just "interesting," but "works as a standalone vertical
with a hook in the first 2 seconds."
RANK TIMESTAMP TYPE WHY IT CLIPS
1 1:47:20 reaction Genuine surprise, clean setup→payoff in
22s. Starts mid-action — no context
needed. Best clip in the stream.
2 0:34:05 quotable One-line take that stands alone.
Screenshot-and-caption territory.
3 2:12:40 win The clutch moment. Emotional peak, but
needs a 5s setup trim to land.
4 0:58:15 hot take Opinion that'll drive comments. Higher
risk, higher reach.
5 1:23:00 funny Bit lands, but it's 90s — cut to the
40s core or it drags.
6 2:44:10 teaching Useful, less viral. Better for
YouTube than TikTok.
7 0:12:30 energy High-energy run, weak standalone hook —
clip only if you can add a cold open.
THE TOP PICK, EXPANDED
1:47:20 — cut IN at 1:47:22 (skip your setup, start on the reaction),
OUT at 1:47:44. Caption the surprise so the sound-off scroll still
gets it. This is the one to post first.
WHAT I SKIPPED AND WHY
Several "good stream moments" didn't make it — they were funny in
context but need the surrounding 3 minutes to work. A clip that requires
context isn't a clip. That filter is why this is 7 and not 20.
Want the top 3 cut into ready-to-caption scripts with hook lines?About this skill
You streamed for four hours, and somewhere in there were three great clips. Scrubbing the VOD to find them takes longer than the stream did, and half the moments you remember turn out to be inside jokes that make no sense to anyone outside chat. Paste your transcript, plus your chat log if you have it. You get a ranked shortlist of clips that stand on their own, each with exact cut points and a note on what to check in the video.
What it does
- Separates moments the words carry from reactions to on-screen gameplay the transcript can't see, and tells you which ones to verify in the VOD before editing
- Tests every candidate for chat dependency (read-aloud questions, emote lore, usernames) and either fixes it with a text card or cuts it
- Uses chat-log message spikes and emote types to find hype, fail, and funny moments, corrected for stream delay
- Sets tight in/out points with editor handles, and suggests cold-open reorders when the setup runs too long
- Flags rights and safety risks: in-stream music, TTS donations, guests' voices, personal info read aloud, and lobby voice chat
- Scores each clip on hook, standalone clarity, payoff, and editing cost, so you cut the best ones first
What you get
A ranked clip sheet. Each clip has timestamps, first and last lines, a type, scores, first-frame hook text, a caption, a target platform and length, and VOD-check and risk flags. A short reject list explains why the near-misses won't travel.
Best for
Twitch, YouTube Live, and Kick streamers who clip their own VODs, plus the clip editors and channel managers who turn long streams into Shorts, TikToks, Reels, and highlight videos.

description: Mines a live stream transcript (and chat log if available) for clips that work standalone. It classifies each moment as spoken vs visual-dependent, tests for chat dependency, detects chat spikes with delay correction, and sets exact in/out points, hook text, scores, and rights flags. Use when the user says "find clips from my stream", "here's my VOD transcript, what should I clip", "pull highlights from last night's stream", "which moments would work as Shorts", "my clips keep flopping because nobody gets the joke", "I don't have time to rewatch 4 hours", or "here's my chat log, where did chat pop off".
