How does automatic Twitch clipping work in VPE?

VPE keeps a rolling video buffer of your stream (15 seconds before, 15 seconds after by default) and watches stream events in real time. When the moment-detection pipeline classifies an event as clip-worthy — chat spike, big donation, raid, gameplay moment — it saves the buffer instantly and exports a vertical-ready clip. No replay-buffer hotkey, no scrubbing the VOD after the stream, no editing.

Is this a free Eklipse alternative?

Yes. VPE's auto-clip generator is on the free tier and outputs clips without a watermark. Where Eklipse mines your VOD after the stream and adds watermarks on the free plan, VPE clips in real time during the stream, exports them locally to your drive, and the free tier has no watermark at all.

Does VPE export clips for TikTok and YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Every auto-clip is exported in 9:16 vertical format ready to upload to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels — no re-cropping, no manual editing. The clip is named with the moment type and timestamp so you can pick the best ones for posting without watching them all back.

Do I need to upload my stream to the cloud for auto-clipping?

No. Auto-clipping happens entirely on your PC. The rolling buffer is in your local RAM, the moment detection runs in-process, and the exported clip lands in a folder on your drive. Nothing is uploaded to any cloud service. This is the local-first architecture that makes the latency math work — clips fire in real time, not hours after the stream ends.
