How Hypecut picks the moments
Hypecut starts listening when you go live and learns your chat’s normal pace. When it spikes (emote spam, ALL CAPS, “clip it”), it clips the moment. One spammer can’t set it off, and a small chat that suddenly goes off still counts, because it’s compared with its own pace rather than with big channels.
You can make each channel more or less sensitive. You or your mods can also ask for a clip by starting a chat message with “hypecut”, and the dashboard has a Clip now button for the moments chat misses.
What you get from each moment
- A Twitch clip with the build-up kept: 20 seconds before chat reacts by default, adjustable from 5 to 25 seconds per channel, so every clip shows what chat reacted to.
- A 9:16 video with your facecam and gameplay framed for a phone.
- A hook written on screen in one of 10 looks, or one you make yourself, plus captions of what’s said.
- A description and hashtags for the post, written in your voice once Hypecut has learned it from your posts.
- After the stream, a highlight of your best clips in one video, if you want one.
Set it up
- Sign up at hypecut.stream, or in Hypecut’s iPhone app from the App Store.
- Connect your Twitch account. Hypecut makes clips with your own account, so clips need to be allowed on your channel.
- Add your channel. There’s nothing to install on your PC and nothing to add to OBS.
- Go live. Hypecut starts listening to your chat as soon as you do.
Review and post
- Open Clips. Every new video waits in To review.
- Watch it, and change the hook, captions, cut or framing in the editor if you want. Editing is free.
- Approve the ones you like and post each in a tap to the places you’ve connected, or save it to post anywhere.
Doing it by hand
Without a tool, auto-clipping means asking viewers or mods to press Twitch’s clip button, or scrubbing the VOD after the stream for the moments that landed. Then each clip still needs cropping to 9:16 in an editor, a title on screen and a caption before it can go up.
That works for one or two clips a week. Hypecut is for streamers who want every moment chat reacted to, made the same night.
Limits to know
- Hypecut clips Twitch streams today. Kick and YouTube are on the way.
- Clips need to be allowed on your channel. If Twitch refuses one, Hypecut pauses clipping there for a while and shows you what to change.
- Clips you don’t review expire after the review period you choose, from 3 to 30 days.
