What it does

Four groups: finding the moment, making the clip, your control, and billing. For the order in which things happen, read how it works.

Finding the moment

Picks come from you, not from chat.

Your voice: Loudness and pace are measured against your own normal level, so a quiet streamer has peaks too.
Your words: Every word is transcribed. An AI reads all of it, in order, and looks for a hook, a payoff and a story that stands alone.
Any game, and Just Chatting: There is no list of supported games and no fee for a game. Zero chat messages is fine.
Why this clip: Each clip lists the reasons for the pick. If you disagree, you skip it. If you agree, you learn what your stream does well.

Ready for a phone screen.

9:16, 1080 by 1920: Your camera on top, the game below, at up to 60 frames a second.
Face tracking: The frame follows your face when you lean. In our test it kept the face in frame in 10 of 10 samples of one clip.
Burned-in captions: One word lit at a time. Timing is measured and published.
Title and hashtags: A title and hashtags for each clip. Keep them or change them.
Clip audio near -14 LUFS: In our test the clips measured -14.8 and -13.9 LUFS, which is about the loudness short-form apps expect.

You are still the editor.

Approve or reject: Nothing leaves without you.
Trim by half a second: Move the start or the end, then render that clip again.
Edit the text: Fix the title, the caption text and the hashtags.
Real MP4 export: Download one clip or all of them. The free plan exports too, with a watermark.

The rules people complain about, written first.

One unit: Stream hours. Nothing else is counted. Unused hours roll over for 2 months.
Cancel in 2 clicks: Inside the app. No emails.
14-day refund: In the first 14 days you get back the price of the hours you did not use.
Delete on a schedule: Source video after 3 days. Clips after 30 days.

Listed so you do not have to guess.

Connect Twitch, clips ready after the stream: Planned, through the official Twitch clip API. Not built. Today you upload a file.
An OBS script: Planned: it would send your audio when OBS stops recording. Not built.
Posting for you: Not available, and not promised. You download MP4 files and post them yourself.
A scene change inside one clip: Not handled yet. A clip that crosses two scenes can show the wrong layout.

VodLift is in a closed test and not open to the public. Leave your email and we write once, when the first spots are ready.
