Your best gaming moments, found automatically.
Eklipse scans your Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or console VOD, marks the moments worth keeping, and turns them into vertical clips with captions, effects, and music. You start from moments already found, finish the edit in the same workspace, and post straight to TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.

Traditional editors, mobile apps, and AI gaming editing software solve different problems. Pick the lane that matches what slows you down.
Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve
Best when you want frame-level control and enjoy building every cut, caption, and effect yourself.
CapCut-style editors
Best for quick phone edits when you already know which moment to use and have the clip saved.
Eklipse
Best when the highlight is buried inside a long stream and you need detection, editing, and publishing in one workflow.
Best tools for editing gaming videos on a budget
The cheapest download is not always the cheapest workflow. Compare the cash cost with the hours spent finding highlights, learning the editor, and moving files between apps.
| Option | Cash cost | Time cost | Best use | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DaVinci Resolve | Free version available | High | Long-form edits, color work, and precise timelines | A steeper learning curve and manual VOD review |
| CapCut | Free and paid options | Medium | Fast mobile edits when the clip is already selected | You still need to find and import the right moment |
| Premiere Pro | Paid subscription | High | Advanced production and Adobe workflows | Software cost plus editing time |
| Freelance editor | Paid per project or retainer | Low editing time | Custom work with a creative brief | Invoices, handoffs, and turnaround time |
| Eklipse | Paid subscription | Low | Finding stream highlights, making vertical clips, and scheduling posts | Less frame-level control than a professional timeline |
Budget shortcut: choose DaVinci Resolve when cash is tight and you have time to learn. Choose CapCut when you already have the clip. Choose Eklipse when the expensive part is finding the moment and repeating the same short-form workflow after every stream.
The gaming edit starts before you open an editor.
Eklipse removes the search, reformatting, and handoff steps that consume most of a streamer’s editing time.

|---|---|---|---|
| Find highlights in a VOD | Manual scrubbing | Bring your own clip | AI detection |
| Vertical 9:16 formatting | Build a sequence | Manual template | Built into the workflow |
| Captions and effects | Manual | Manual or assisted | AI-assisted |
| Publish or schedule | Export and upload | Export and share | Built-in publisher |
| Best fit | Editors and production teams | Quick edits from known clips | Active streamers |

Which software is best for gaming video editing?
Eklipse is best suited to streamers who need to find highlights inside long VODs, reformat them for vertical feeds, add quick edits, and publish from one workspace. Traditional editors remain better for complex, frame-level production.
What do streamers use to edit clips?
Streamers use traditional editors such as Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, mobile editors such as CapCut, and AI gaming editors such as Eklipse. The right choice depends on whether the bottleneck is finding moments, editing them, or both.
Can Eklipse edit PS5 and Xbox gameplay?
Yes. Stream console gameplay to a supported Twitch, YouTube, or Kick channel, then connect that channel so Eklipse can process the saved VOD. No direct console file transfer is required for that workflow.
Does Eklipse require editing experience?
No timeline experience is required for the automated workflow. You can review detected highlights, choose an edit, adjust it, and publish.
Can I publish gaming clips from Eklipse?
Yes. Content Publisher and its planner let you post now or schedule completed clips for supported social platforms. The newer Content Agent acts as a content assistant: it finds strong moments, prepares edits and captions, then queues the posts for your approval.
Is Eklipse a free stream clipper?
No. Eklipse is a paid product, although creating an account is free. Eklipse also offers separate browser-based tools, but the full stream clipping and editing workflow requires a subscription.
What is an AI based game clip editor?
It uses AI to find or enhance gameplay moments. In Eklipse, AI-Edit analyzes a selected highlight and can add captions, memes, effects, and music. Eklipse Studio is the browser-based web editor for hands-on trimming, reframing, facecam placement, text, and layout control.
Your next stream already has the clips.
Connect a channel, stream as usual, and review the moments Eklipse marks for you.
