How to Turn Twitch Streams or VODs into X (Twitter) Clips
To post your Twitch stream or VOD as a vertical, captioned clip on X (Twitter), you need to reformat, trim, and size it to fit X's specs. Vidulk’s AI clipper can automate much of this process.

Step 1: Get Your Twitch VOD or Stream Recording
First, download your Twitch VOD from your Creator Dashboard or record your stream locally using OBS. Make sure you have the full broadcast-quality file for best results.
Step 2: Understand X (Twitter) Video Specs
- Length: Non-Premium: up to 2:20 (140 s). Premium: up to 2 hours (1080p), up to 4 hours (720p).
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (landscape or portrait), 1:1. Accepted range: 1:3 to 3:1.
- Resolution: Recommended 1280x720 (landscape), 720x1280 (portrait), 720x720 (square).
- Captions: X supports attached SRT subtitle files on web uploads.
Step 3: Clip and Reframe for Vertical or Square
Since Twitch VODs are 16:9 landscape, you’ll need to crop or reframe for vertical (9:16) or square (1:1) formats. A common approach is to split the frame: put your face-cam on top and gameplay below. This format works well for short, engaging clips on X.
Step 4: Automate with Vidulk's AI Clipper
Vidulk’s AI clipper (iOS and Android) lets you paste your Twitch VOD or stream recording. The AI automatically finds the most exciting moments, reframes them for vertical, adds captions, and lets you export short clips sized for X. You can then upload these directly to X (Twitter) from your device.
Step 5: Add Captions and Export Correctly
Vidulk auto-generates captions burned into the video, which helps with engagement on X. If you prefer separate captions, you can attach an SRT file when uploading on X’s web interface. Export your clip in 720x1280 (vertical), 1280x720 (landscape), or 720x720 (square) for optimal quality.
Vidulk's AI clipper (free to start, iOS + Android) finds the best moments in a long video and exports captioned vertical clips sized for the destination.
