About

Built for the people who clip.

StreamCatcher is a browser workspace for turning a public Twitch VOD into a vertical clip: find the stream, mark the minute that mattered, reframe it, caption it, download the MP4.

Who we are

A small team. There is no floor of account managers behind this: the address on this page — support@streamcatcher.pro — reaches the people who write the code, and it is the same address for a bug, a billing question and a takedown request.

Why we built it

Streamers don't have the time to clip their own streams. After four hours live, nobody wants to scrub back through four hours of themselves looking for the thirty seconds that landed. So the clipping gets done by other people — editors, clip channels, community accounts, friends with an eye for a moment — and it gets done in desktop editors that were built for something else entirely. Download the VOD. Wait. Cut. Crop to vertical by hand. Type the captions out. Export. Repeat tomorrow.

That workflow is not hard, it is just long, and almost none of it is the part that requires taste. Choosing the moment does. StreamCatcher keeps that part for you and does the rest: it searches any public channel's VODs, plays them in the browser, and turns a marked in and out point into a finished vertical file. You don't have to be the streamer, and connecting your Twitch account is optional — it's only needed to reach your own VODs, or ones only your subscribers can see.

What we do with the video

Worth being specific about, because "we process your video" can mean almost anything:

• We fetch only the segment you mark. When you set an in and an out point, we resolve the VOD's media URL and pull that range — not the four-hour stream. Nothing gets archived on our side because you watched it.
• The work happens on our servers, not in your browser. FFmpeg does the cutting, the 9:16 or 1:1 reframe and the caption burn-in; OpenAI's Whisper API produces the word-level transcript that the captions are timed to.
• We keep your finished clip and its transcript so that you can come back to it, re-caption it, share it, or download it again. Anything you record yourself — a voiceover, a picture-in-picture webcam reaction — is kept the same way, as part of that clip.
• We do not rehost streams. Your library holds a VOD's details — channel, title, duration, a link back to Twitch — not the video. There is no StreamCatcher archive of other people's streams to browse, and the stream itself stays where it lives.
• We do not publish anything for you. Nothing leaves your account until you download it or turn on a share page yourself.

Deleting a clip deletes its files and its transcript. The Privacy Policy is the long version of this section, including every outside service a clip touches on its way through.

Rights stay with the creator

A clip is someone else's work, cut shorter. The streamer owns the stream; the game, the music and anyone else on screen have their own claims; and Twitch's Terms of Service apply to the VOD whether or not you are the one who broadcast it. A tool that makes clipping fast does not make any of that go away, and we would rather say so on this page than in a paragraph of legalese.

So: it is on you to have the right to clip and post what you clip. If a creator asks you to take a clip down, take it down. If you want us to remove one hosted here, write to support@streamcatcher.pro and we will.

Bugs, a VOD that will not load, a feature you keep wishing existed, an invoice question — same address, and a person reads it.
