Make Viral YouTube Shorts from Your Streams
Import any Twitch, Kick, or YouTube clip. Add vertical layouts, animated captions, and effects. Export or schedule directly to YouTube Shorts - all in your browser.
YouTube Clip Maker
Turn stream highlights into YouTube Shorts
You already have the content - your streams are packed with highlight-reel moments. Clip a moment on YouTube first, then paste that clip URL into StreamLadder's Clip Editor to turn it into a vertical Short. You can also paste Twitch or Kick clip URLs, or upload any video file. Pick a vertical layout and add animated captions synced to your voice.
Layer in stickers, Twitch emotes, and zoom effects to make Shorts pop. Remove silences to keep clips tight and censor words before they hit YouTube's filters.
When your Shorts are ready, schedule them from the same dashboard. Set the time, add a title and description, and StreamLadder uploads for you.
Let ClipGPT find the best moments first - it analyzes your entire VOD and ranks highlights by virality score. Clips come out fully edited and cropped to vertical. Fine-tune in the editor or post them straight. You can also combine your top clips into a highlight reel for long-form YouTube.

How to make YouTube Shorts from your streams
Import, edit, and publish - three steps from stream to Shorts.
01
Import your clip
Clip a moment on YouTube, then paste that URL into StreamLadder. Twitch and Kick clip URLs work too, or upload a file.
02
Edit for Shorts
Pick a vertical layout, add animated captions and stickers, trim the clip to the best moment.
03
Publish to YouTube
Export the MP4 and upload manually, or schedule directly to YouTube Shorts from the Content Publisher.
Clip Editor
Stream to YouTube Shorts in minutes, not hours
Vertical layouts, animated captions, and direct YouTube publishing - all from your browser.
Vertical layouts that show facecam and gameplay
Choose from pre-made 9:16 layouts designed for streaming content. Stack your facecam above gameplay, go side-by-side, or build a custom layout and reuse it for every future clip.
Animated captions for maximum reach
AI generates captions synced word-by-word to your audio. Pick from multiple styles. Captions help your Shorts reach viewers who browse with sound off - and YouTube rewards the accessibility.
Schedule to YouTube from one dashboard
Connect your YouTube channel once. Schedule Shorts with titles, descriptions, and tags - StreamLadder uploads on time. Post to TikTok and Instagram Reels from the same queue.
