Clipping Software
Clipping software finds the best moments in a long gameplay recording or stream and cuts them into short clips you can post. Some tools record live while you play; others scan a recording after the match.
What is clipping software
Clipping software turns hours of footage into a handful of short, shareable clips. Without it you scrub through a recording by hand, mark the kills, aces and funny moments, then crop and export each one.
The category splits in two. Recorders such as Medal and OBS capture clips while you play. Post-match tools such as FragCut scan a finished recording or Twitch VOD, detect the highlights, and cut them for you.
How to choose
Do you need live recording, or do you already have the footage?
Live recording needs a desktop app. Existing footage can go through a browser tool.
Which games do you play?
Some tools are tuned for one title, others work on any game. Shooters give the clearest highlight signals.
Where will the clips go?
TikTok, Reels and Shorts need 9:16 vertical output with captions.
What is your budget?
Free tiers usually add a watermark, a resolution cap or a clip limit.
How FragCut does it
FragCut is a post-match tool. Upload a local recording or paste a Twitch VOD, and it detects the highlights, then cuts them into 9:16 1080x1920 H.264 clips.
It works on any game, with extra tuning for FPS and shooter titles, most of all Valorant. It runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install. Your first match is analyzed free, and your top highlight comes back as a watermarked clip before you pay for anything.
FragCut does not record live. If you want background capture while you play, use a recorder such as Medal and bring the footage to FragCut afterwards.
