## Summary

This video explores six methods for converting Twitch clips into short-form content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The creator reviews web-based tools like Streamladder, JoinCombo, and CrossClip, as well as manual approaches using desktop editing software (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve) and mobile apps (InShot, CapCut). The goal is to help streamers efficiently repurpose their clips to grow their audience across multiple platforms.

### Key Points

- **Importance of posting clips** [00:00] — Posting clips on short-form platforms is the best way to bring attention to your live stream, even if conversion is low.
- **Platforms and formats** [00:30] — Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts require portrait mode; Twitter can use landscape. Square format works for YouTube Shorts.
- **Workflow scheduling** [00:51] — Dedicate a day (e.g., Sunday) to reformat clips for the next week. For busy streamers, find a workflow to transform clips efficiently.
- **Streamladder overview** [02:30] — Popular web tool. Free version: 720p 60fps, limited templates, no circular webcam support. Paid ($4/month annually) unlocks 1080p 60fps, stickers, custom templates.
- **JoinCombo features** [05:31] — Free tool with full template access, circular webcam support, custom layers, text, and multiple clips. Works on phone browser. Pro offers auto-editing while live.
- **CrossClip by Streamlabs** [08:43] — Free version has watermark and outro, 720p 30fps, limited layouts. Paid removes watermarks and adds layers. Supports montages.
- **Desktop editing software** [11:16] — Use Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve to create a template with gameplay, webcam (circular mask), and blurred background. Replace footage quickly.
- **Mobile app method** [14:48] — Use clipper.xyz to download clips, then InShot or CapCut to add picture-in-picture, circular mask, text, and captions. InShot exports 1080p 60fps free (with watermark removal).

### Conclusion

The best method depends on your needs: web tools for speed, desktop software for control, and mobile apps for on-the-go editing. Experiment to find what fits your workflow.

## Transcript

oh look at that pretty much every day we
see a twitch clip going absolutely viral
on those short form content platforms so
posting your clips on those platforms is
basically the best way to bring
attention to your live stream now on the
realistic side of thing you're not
necessarily going to have a huge amount
of conversion but if it allows you to
grow on another platform that still
contributes as your career as a content
creator you know how creators are always
talking about how they want to get
sponsored but the truth is it's way
easier to get some sponsors from some
platforms versus others but anyways to
keep it simple you need to be posting
your clips to other platforms there's
going to be instagram reels there's
going to be tick tock there's going to
be youtube shorts and there's going to
be twitter now twitter might let you get
away with normal format 16x9 landscape
mode but other platforms such as tick
tock instagram reels and youtube shorts
they absolutely want you to post in
portrait mode all the youtube shorts you
can even post a square if you have a
good schedule that allows you some time
off basically to work on your channel
and stuff like that you can take like i
don't know your sundays and then just
reformat all your clips from that week
to be able to post them during the next
week but if you're constantly streaming
or you have a full-time job on top of
streaming and you have kids or whatever
you have you gotta figure out a workflow
to transform your twitch clips into tick
tocks into instagram reels into youtube
shorts so today i'm going to be talking
about all the different ways all the
different software that you can use in
order to accomplish that i'm going to
tell you what's special about each and
every one of them with the pros and cons
so that you can decide which one you're
going to use for your workflow and i'll
be telling you all that right after a
message from our sponsor this portion of
the video is sponsored by ownpro own pro
is a complete service to help you
jumpstart your streaming career by
offering you every single thing that you
need in order to become the streamer
you've always wanted to be you'll get
access to over 600 overlay packs and
alerts you'll get widgets such as events
list stream labels you need help
managing your stream here's a custom
chat bot ownedpro even went as far as
creating copyright free music just to
make sure you stay on the safe side on
pro has the biggest library of overlay
packs on the internet and allows you to
install them in one click
look at that there's so many
now i've been working with owned for a
while now so they decided to throw in 50
off of their pro plan so if you want to
upgrade simply use code guile g-a-e-l
for fifty percent off but i'll let you
find this out at own dot gg slash guy
level pro that is own 3d.g
guy level pro okay so this is actually a
while after i recorded the intro the
total video was over an hour so i'm
gonna try to do this way faster we're
gonna start with the most popular one
which is streamladder.com
you come in here and the cool thing with
streamladder is that you can access your
clip in many ways but eventually you're
gonna have to log in at some point
basically you can enter the clip url
which you can find from your twitch
channel you can upload a local file if
you already downloaded the clip and you
can directly log in with your twitch
account and then oh actually you don't
need to log in you just type your the
name of your twitch account and then
search the clips boom that means that
you can do this for any any person's
twitch clips if you're an editor for
example and you're working with a
streamer boom this is great let's pick a
random clip here and it's going to bring
us right there we can change the video
if we change your mind right here and
this is uh one of the things one of the
particularities with stream ladder is
that you have pretty much like three
templates that are free one of them is
not necessarily usable if you don't have
a webcam so it's like webcam only
gameplay only or this single format
where you're gonna have like a rectangle
with your webcam now if your webcam
overlay is circular in my case for
example it can be very difficult the
thing is you can see a circular face
camera right there but this is paid
actually you have to pay for the trim
ladder plus which we're gonna take a
look at right now you'll be able to
exploit in 1080p 60fps you can add
stickers the stickers is basically
something to add your name in a cool way
it's not totally necessary especially
when platforms like uh instagram or even
tiktok will allow you to just put text
over it so you can just do that directly
into the app send directly to tik tok
send to youtube short premium templates
use on mobile send results to phone save
crop areas which is like basically save
the template hopefully so that when the
next time you log in you can just pick
the template and it knows where your
face cam is gonna be support development
so now it's actually not a lot of money
per month is four dollars per month if
you pay annually all right let's go
ahead and pick the free one and you will
see what i mean when i say that if you
have like a square ish camera it's gonna
be an issue as you can see right there
but you can always select like the face
cam ratio for example let's say
four thirds
is the closest thing or there's also
free form which you can just select like
that and then and then you have game
feed and this one you cannot change the
proportion based on the template just
click edit video it's gonna bring it
here so the thing is uh that you can't
just move those things around after that
on the free template that is at least
you can switch the face cam position
from top to bottom if you want to and
those are the stickers i was talking
about as you can see here you would be
able to place put that here you would be
able to place this thing but you have to
pay for it so let's get rid of it output
settings we're locked in at 720p 60fps
so click let's click render clip and
it's going to bring us here this is the
part where it will most likely ask you
to log in in order to render the video
so streamladder is popular for a reason
apparently when it comes to 720 60fps it
has one of the best qualities but that
is for people who actually have very
very good quality don't be fooled it
tells you here send to tiktok but you
need streamladder plus and any
streamladder plus but you can download
it the fact that you can't use it on
your phone without having streamladder
plus it's kind of like a disadvantage
but but here it is streamladder the
other option is one of my favorite ones
and it's join combo this one you kind of
have to log in with your twitch account
but it will immediately access all of
your clips it will even show you the
most recent clips right there you can
save templates for completely free you
have access to all the templates that
they already have but also you can move
things around you're gonna see if i
click this for example i have access to
circular webcam for free i have access
to all of those things for free and i'll
be able to add my own layers look at
that i have two templates that i already
saved for free i don't have a premium
account and let's say we're starting
from scratch for example and my webcam
looks kind of like that gonna pause this
and i'm just gonna do this
center it a little bit and of course you
can um go ahead and change the the shape
of the webcam if you want a square
rectangle portrait lens landscape and
also custom click continue and it
already knows where the gameplay is it's
kind of like by default you have to pick
where the gameplay is but if you do want
to move it around because it's not
correct you can always move every layer
around even the background
which is amazing this works on your
phone so you go to joincombo.com on your
phone on a browser let's say chrome and
you'll be able to do pretty much all of
this but you're not going to have as
many options as you have here here i can
add an extra video if i wanted to i can
add multiple clips back to back or on
top of each other if i wanted to i can
add an image if you have a logo you want
to put on it boom you can do this for
free for free all of that for free join
combo if you want to put text if you
want to add manual subtitles you can do
it straight from here and like not even
counting all the options you have there
and you pretty much have a full on video
editor at the bottom here it's not like
fully fledged video editing but it's
very fast and it's uh practical once
you're done you can click uh export and
we're going to talk about like the pro
plan as you can see at the bottom here i
can save the template so if i have
multiple clips from the same stream or
if my overlays don't really change when
i'm in gameplay scene i can just use the
template and just click and i'll never
have to even select my webcam anymore it
will automatically know where it is and
set it up i can share to tick tock for
free i can share to youtube for free now
what does pro offer if there's all of
that the cool thing with pro is that
they have some automatic stuff first of
all it's more expensive but it also has
options for it um as i said if your
overlays don't change that much it can
basically already format those clips
while you're still live so you're live
streaming and people are taking clips or
you're telling your chat hey clip this
clip that once you're done streaming
your clips are already like they're
they're already ready to post
so that's pretty dope of course you have
all unlimited custom templates early
access to new features you can cancel at
any time unlimited videos priority
support vip discord role this is more
for a support thing but yeah
automatically edited clips right there
includes increased file upload size
in the case of twitch clips maybe you
don't wanna like maybe that you don't
care about that but if you're saving
your clips through the replay buffer in
obs so that you can physically have the
clips you might want to upload them and
in a priority rendering queue so it
renders faster i'm guessing and then you
will have an inbox where all the clips
that you edited will just reside and you
can access this from your phone and
easily post to talk to youtube to
whatever you want you can manage your
templates here and it's it's just great
that's combo and here we have cross clip
which is created by the people at stream
labs and uh even though i'm logged in i
actually don't have access to all of my
twitch clips directly i might have to
copy paste a link so let's go to my
twitch channel or maybe i'm missing
something if i click i'm feeling lucky
what is it going to do it's going to
pick up
that's not me that's a popular streamer
what okay that was weird anyways let's
go to my channel and pick a clip from my
clips okay i have a clip here uh warning
it's glory i was playing the game evil
dead the game so let's do this paste the
clip click get clip and it's right there
cool thing with crosslip is that it
shows you the output and you can also
move things around even though it
doesn't update in real time you have to
play pause
for me at least maybe it's different on
other browsers there you go and you have
you can trim the clip if you want
although you can't split it or delete
parts in between you can select the
output format landscape square or
portrait for tick-tock and all of that
you can blur the background if basically
there's a spot where the background is
visible you can see that's blurred or
you can just not blur it and it's just
gonna be a black background now one
thing to keep in mind is that cross clip
comes with not only a watermark but also
an outro video with a little animation
of their logo so it's like double
watermark and uh you have to pay to
remove both of those when it comes to
your layers if you want to basically add
additional layers you will have to pay
for the pro and we're going to take a
look at the pro in a little bit so you
will have options for your camera like
square and in that case i got to play
and move this around boom and now it's a
square and i would have to select my
camera play around with this until it
turns into a square there you go and it
definitely gives you option to move
things around to make them look good my
camera is here i'm going to put the
blurred background on again boom there
you go so if i want to add any type of
layer
i have to upgrade to pro if you want to
change the layout you can go here up to
layout go to browse layouts and uh check
out what they have not a lot of options
not a lot of um not very very versatile
we don't have the circular webcam we
don't have a ton of things here but you
can save some of your own layouts for
free with the free version which is
something let's click on compile and
then you will give a title quality is
gonna be stuck at 720p 30fps for the
free version
and you can click start compilation now
it's compiling you can actually create
montages if you want to put multiple
clips back to back that is something
that you can do and there you go your
clip is done and now let's check out the
difficult way of doing things this is
what i use
most of the time it is uh more complex
than any web-based stuff but it gives me
more versatility and uh the goal here is
to create some sort of template that i
can just replace the footage and it will
automatically pick where my webcam is
where the background is and stuff like
that and the way i do this is i create
two compositions so i'm using adobe
premiere here but that doesn't mean that
you need adobe premiere to do this you
can use any free editing software or any
other other editing software that you
have davinci resolve is one of them is
like the main one that i'm going to take
into account i'm even counting premiere
and davinci resolve as separate tips
basically but what you want to do is
create a composition where you basically
drag and drop one clip and then you
separate the three of them one of them
is the background let me just turn off
that so this is the background and all i
did was basically scaled it up to fill
the screen i'm gonna add a blur later on
and then the second one is going to be
my main gameplay i scaled it up a little
bit 140 percent and i dragged it down
just a little bit and then i have the
last one where it's basically my camera
and the way i did that is by using the
circle here the the ellipse mask and i
just moved it around right i just went
ahead picked it and placed it exactly
where i wanted all right now from there
what i want to do is create a new
sequence and with the composition that i
have i want to cut it so that next time
i want to have this all i have to do is
go back to my original footage right
click it and then click replace footage
now i don't use davinci resolve i'm
guessing that it must be easy to do it
i've heard a lot of good things about it
so i'm guessing it must be easy to do
the same thing there so if i want to
switch this to another clip i can just
pick the clip here click select and boom
as you can see it automatically added it
now it shows me that this clip is
shorter that's not a problem we can go
ahead and basically trim it somewhere
else now you want to change of course
like the cuts here are not going to work
so i can delete them just bring back the
first composition and boom now i can
edit my stuff and i can automat
automatically add captions with premiere
which is why i like using it there is a
whole captioning section and it's um
yeah it's great i always advise people
to add captions as much as they can even
visually on screen but it's not
something that you need to worry about
too too much because platforms such as
tick tock will add automatic captions
and instagram allows you to use stickers
to add captions too i don't know about
youtube shorts i just don't use it like
that but if you can the best thing you
can do is hard code or burn the captions
into the video not only for people who
don't have access to audio but it's an
additional attention grabber people just
can't help themselves but to read the
captions now the auto caption on in
premiere is not perfect but it does its
best especially on a twitch clip where
you're going to have gameplay sound and
you're gonna have
music and maybe you have some characters
speaking at the same time but i like it
because i can quickly edit it and also
like add some presets to make it pop and
look a little bit better than if i was
doing it with um joint combo for example
for example here it says playing smite
but i said playing smart i'm gonna
double click
change this boom and now i can create
captions and i can pick like the
frequency maybe i want just a couple
words at once in that case maximum
length character i would do this click
create and boom now i have and you can
see it but it's at the bottom here i can
select it
put it in the middle just so you can see
it make it bigger
and just like that
there you go
so that is the editing software route
now i'm going to show you how you can do
those things with your phone and it's
also pretty much the same as the editing
software route but it's on your phone so
you can do it on the fly you can do it
from anyone's phone and stuff like that
keeping in mind that crossclip has its
own app to do that and join combo is
accessible from your phone and i believe
streamladder is also accessible from
your phone but if you want to get fancy
you're going to be using two apps in
order to do this so here's what i like
to do basically i'll find a clip on the
twitch app i'll go to my channel go to
my clips and then tap on it we're gonna
pause it we're gonna click top right on
the share button and we're gonna copy
the link basically copy link
boom and then we're gonna go on chrome
or any web browser that you want and i'm
gonna go on clipper.xyz
i'm gonna paste the code in there right
there and i'm gonna click download now
and it's basically gonna ask me to
download whatever quality i want and
i'll download it on my phone 1020p
download right i already have the clip
so then after that i'm gonna get in shot
i'm gonna go in in shot which is an
editing app i'm gonna click on video new
and i'm gonna find the original clip
which i believe is this one check mark
boom this is what it's going to look
like click on canvas if you want to make
sure you set it to the tick tock format
basically and here you can already
basically zoom in a little bit because
this is going to be the gameplay anyways
right we're going to have to reimport it
to get the webcam i'm gonna drag this
down a little bit click on the check
mark now we're good we're gonna look for
something that says pip this is picture
in picture i'm gonna click it once we're
gonna find the same clip right and we're
gonna drag this down until it basically
fills the screen we're gonna drag to the
side because we're looking for the
webcam remember and then we're gonna
find mask bottom here we're gonna find a
circular mask in our case and now we can
basically put this in the middle
and adjust our mask
just like that you can click check mark
here accept and place this in the middle
and you're basically done the cool thing
with inshot is that it allows you to add
some text you know you can put whatever
you want possibly like your twitch name
and you can even animate it if you want
to do some cool stuff like there's so
many
options
when it comes to this app click check
mark let's say we just want this
and i want to make it small i'm using my
two hands here can make this go
throughout the whole clip there's even
copyright free music straight into the
app tap okay if you're using the free
version there's actually a watermark but
you can get rid of it there's gonna be a
tiny little x on top right of the
watermark i believe just tap it and then
boom you're done when you click save you
can save to 1080p 60fps which is the you
know all of the web-based options will
not allow you to do and then click save
and that's it you can directly share
since you're on your phone you can
directly share on tick tock instagram
even youtube everything and boom you're
done with in shot in a couple of seconds
you can add your text you can add your
captions that way too another software
you can use i keep saying software app
if you will is cap cut and cap cut is
also pretty great you can tap on new
project select the clip click add first
of all we're going to change the format
by sliding the bottom bar until we see
format boom and we will see nine by
sixteen is what we're looking for we can
click back or a little arrow bottom left
and then we're gonna find overlay bottom
here
add overlay and then you pick
the main clip click add
i'm gonna hold and then drag just to
make sure it's really on the left it is
okay cool i'm gonna select it and we're
gonna find a mask there it is mask
circle just like the other one really
like no difference pretty much i
personally prefer using in shot because
it seems to be more malleable there's a
lot of like snapping going on with cap
cut that i just don't enjoy that much
click ok and now you can tap and drag
the mask around you can even use your
two fingers to make it a little bigger
and then you'll be able to adjust that
mask a little bit better there we go the
gameplay you can select it by tapping on
it use two fingers to zoom in a little
bit
nice and we should be able to click away
from everything
click back here and we're going to find
that background and it's under canvas
for to find the blur background you can
click blur
and there you go you can adjust the the
amount of blurring you want to happen i
like that one now the cool thing with
capcom is that it has all sorts of
amazing effects so if you're doing a
montage using it you can do some really
really professional looking montages
using only cap cut that's the whole
thing with cap cut is that it has
amazing presets obviously you can also
add some text and add some templates and
and a lot of things even auto captions
which i i didn't even know was an option
and we're not going to do that now but
check it out definitely check it out and
once you're done you can click top or
right on the little arrow that's
pointing up to boom and now it's
exploiting and there you go you have a
full clip a full clip ready to share to
tic toc and everything oh i forgot to
show that it does add an outro kind of
like cross clip but the cool thing with
cap cut is that you can select that
outro right there and delete it for free
i just forgot to do that
oof
okay okay hopefully you're still with me
so uh as i said i count premiere and
davinci resolve as two different tips
but um yeah i hope you guys learn a
couple of things and maybe you'll be
able to choose the one that's more
suitable for you you're gonna tell me
what's worth it what's not let me know
in the comment section below if you use
another method in order to transform
your clips into short form content or
portrait format i should say but yeah i
had to turn off the ac in order to
record the video with good audio thank
