Step 6–7: Run AI Highlight Detection #

6. Select your game category from the dropdown, Eklipse’s AI highlight detection uses game-aware models, so picking the right category (FPS, Battle Royale, IRL, etc.) improves clip precision
7. Start processing, Eklipse scans the VOD and surfaces your best moments: kills, clutches, squad wipes, reaction peaks

> 📸 Screenshot tip: Capture the processing screen showing the AI scanning progress on a Kick VOD.

What Happens Next #

After exporting, your Kick highlights are formatted and ready to post. Eklipse processes the full VOD in minutes, a 4-hour stream typically yields 5–10 clip candidates. For consistent posting, set up a weekly schedule in Content Publisher to keep your clip output steady without manually revisiting each stream.

Troubleshooting #

Q: My Kick VODs aren’t showing up after connecting my account.
A: Check that your Kick channel has VODs set to public or unlisted, private recordings may not be accessible. You can also paste the direct VOD URL as a fallback.

Q: The AI is missing clips from my IRL or talking-stream content.
A: Switch the game category to IRL / Just Chatting before processing, Eklipse has separate detection models for non-gameplay content that catch reaction peaks and high-chat moments.

Q: I want to clip another streamer’s Kick VOD, not my own.
A: Paste the Kick VOD URL directly in the import step, you do not need to be the channel owner. Make sure the VOD is publicly accessible.
