Questions streamers ask
Plain answers. Where we do not know yet, we say so.
Which files can I upload?
The VOD download from your Twitch Creator Dashboard, or the recording OBS saved on your computer. Your own files only. We will list the exact file types and the size limit before launch.
How long does it take?
On our own test (a 92-minute stream, Apple M4 Max, a development build) it took about 5 to 8 minutes from the file to five clips, upload not included. In the closed test the processing worker runs on a Mac, so we have no cloud numbers and we do not promise a time. Upload is the slow part: a 4-hour VOD is about 11 GB, which is about 21 minutes at the US median upload speed and about 2.4 hours at 10 Mbps. Sending the audio first is planned, and it is not built yet.
What about music and copyright?
You own your content, and you are responsible for the rights to it. Platforms can mute, block or strike a clip that has music you cannot use. We plan to mark clips where we detect music. Listen to every clip before you post it.
Is it safe for my Twitch account?
We never fetch video from Twitch ourselves. You give us your own file, and you sign in with Twitch. We do not post for you. Twitch has no official way for a tool to download a VOD, so we do not ask for a VOD link. VodLift is not affiliated with Twitch.
My chat is six people and a bot. Does it still work?
Yes, that is what it is built for. Picks come from your voice and your words: speech-to-text, loudness against your own normal level, and an AI that reads the full transcript. It does not read chat. It has no list of supported games, and Just Chatting is fine.
Can it post my clips for me?
Not yet. You review the clips, fix what you want and download MP4 files. Then you upload them to TikTok, YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels yourself.
What do the hours mean, and what happens to the ones I do not use?
One hour is one hour of stream that you upload. The free plan has 2 hours a month. Unused hours roll over for 2 months. You can see your hours in the app.
How do I cancel, and can I get a refund?
Cancel inside the app in 2 clicks. No emails. In the first 14 days of a paid plan you can ask for a refund, and you get back the price of the hours you did not use. The hours you used are not refunded.
How do you handle my data, and can I delete it?
We delete your source video 3 days after you upload it and your clips 30 days after we make them. You can ask us to delete your account and data at any time: support@vodlift.com. The privacy page has the details.
