How do I make a Short from a Twitch or Kick clip?

Paste the clip link into Clipr Studio, select Open, then press Make a Short on the clip's page. In the editor you pick a layout, add captions and extras, and select Make the Short to get a 1080 × 1920 MP4.

  3. Pick a layout and place the crop on the source frame. See layouts.

The Short editor: source frame, vertical preview, Part to keep timeline, and the Look, Captions, Words and Extras tabs

What's in the editor

  • The source frame on the left, where you place the crop or cam box.
  • The vertical preview in the middle, with Safe zones for TikTok, Shorts or Reels (key S).
  • The timeline below, for trimming and pauses.
  • The inspector on the right, with the tabs Look, Captions, Words and Extras.

Use Undo and Redo (⌘Z and ⌘⇧Z) at the top. Space plays, and 1-3 switch layouts. The arrow keys nudge or seek, comma and period step one frame, and Delete removes a selected item.

Without the editor

Signed out, Make a Short in the site's menu opens a quick converter. It crops a clip to 9:16 and downloads it free in your browser, with a small watermark. See turning a clip into a TikTok. From there you can move to the editor to add captions, and your crop, layout and cam box carry over.
