This guide covers how to generate highlights from a Twitch, Kick, or YouTube stream VOD using Eklipse’s AI highlight detection, from importing your VOD to downloading finished clips.
Before You Start #
- Active Eklipse account (create one free)
- A stream saved as a VOD on Twitch, Kick, or YouTube, or a direct VOD URL
- Twitch or Kick connected to Eklipse, or a YouTube URL ready to paste
How to Make Stream Highlights with Eklipse #
Step 1–2: Import Your Stream VOD #
1. Log in to app.eklipse.gg and select New Clip from the Dashboard
2. Choose your source, Twitch, Kick, or YouTube, then select your VOD from the list or paste the VOD URL directly
> 📸 Screenshot tip: Show the source selection screen with Twitch selected and a VOD list visible.
Step 3: Select Your Game Category #
3. Pick your game or content type from the dropdown before processing; Eklipse’s AI gaming stream highlights uses game-aware models tuned for specific moment types, FPS kills, clutch rounds, squad wipes, IRL reaction peaks, selecting the right category gives you more precise highlights
> 📸 Screenshot tip: Capture the game category dropdown with a game selected.
Step 4: Run AI Highlight Detection #
4. Start processing; Eklipse scans the full VOD and surfaces your best moments ranked by signal strength; kills, clutches, squad wipes, and high-reaction moments are detected automatically; a 3-hour stream typically returns 5–12 highlight candidates
> 📸 Screenshot tip: Show the clip results grid with detected highlights, timestamps, and moment type labels.
Step 5: Review Your Highlight Clips #
5. Browse detected clips in your library; each entry shows the moment type, timestamp, and a preview; deselect any clips that don’t match what you want to keep; Eklipse ranks by signal strength so the top results are usually the cleanest highlights
> 📸 Screenshot tip: Capture the clip library grid showing ranked highlights from a stream.
Step 6–7: Edit and Export #
6. Open any clip in Eklipse Studio to trim start/end points, apply 9:16 vertical formatting for TikTok or YouTube Shorts, and add captions or effects
7. Export the clip in your chosen format, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram Reels, or use the Content Publisher to schedule posts directly from Eklipse without downloading
> 📸 Screenshot tip: Show the export format selection screen with platform options.
What Happens Next #
Your stream highlights are downloaded or queued for posting. A single 3-hour session typically yields enough clip candidates for 3–5 short-form posts. For consistent highlight output without manual review, run Eklipse immediately after each session and batch-schedule the week’s clips through Content Publisher in one pass.
Troubleshooting #
Q: The AI is detecting the wrong moments, rotations instead of kills, or slow moments instead of reactions.
A: Confirm the correct game or content category is selected before processing. Generic detection misses game-specific signals. Delete the job and re-process with the right category set.
Q: My VOD isn’t showing up after connecting Twitch or Kick.
A: Check that your VODs are set to public. Private or subscriber-only recordings may not be accessible. Paste the VOD URL directly as a fallback.
Q: I got fewer than 5 clips from a long stream.
A: Short streams or low-activity sessions return fewer candidates. Try switching the game category if the default produced sparse results, or lower the minimum signal threshold in the clip settings if available.
