Guide: From Twitch Clip to YouTube Short

This walkthrough takes you from a raw Twitch clip to a published YouTube Short using the full EzClap pipeline. Once set up, steps 1–2 never repeat — every future clip only needs the polish-and-publish half.

Step 1: connect your accounts

  1. Log in to EzClap with Twitch — this also enables automatic clip syncing (details).
  2. On the auto-publish page, connect your YouTube channel with the Google sign-in button and check Enable Posting. Leave privacy on Private for now so your first test upload stays invisible (details).

Step 2: build your layout template

  1. Open the Clip Wizard and fetch a recent clip that shows your normal stream layout.
  2. Drag the camera crop box over your facecam; enable a custom gameplay area if you want tight control of the gameplay framing.
  3. Pick a camera position (top, bottom, or floating), add your logo, and click generate & test preview.
  4. When it looks right, save as template. This is now your default layout — every synced clip renders through it automatically.

Step 3: get a clip processed

Either wait for your next stream (new clips sync and process automatically within minutes), or open the Super Editor, sort your history by most viewed, select a proven clip, and Start Super Editing. The finished vertical clip appears on your Clips dashboard.

Step 4: captions and polish

  1. Open the clip in the caption editor and click generate captions — EzClap transcribes the audio (details).
  2. Fix any misheard words, retime blocks with the start/end snap buttons, and trim dead air with the trim controls.
  3. Set the upload title in the title field at the top — this becomes your YouTube title.
  4. Apply changes, preview, and save. Make sure a caption style you like is set as default (a preset like hormozi bold or clean social default is a fine start).

Step 5: spotlight it

Click add to spotlight in the editor. The clip joins your publishing queue; in the Spotlight view of the dashboard, drag it to the front if you want it posted next.

Step 6: publish

Two options:

  • Automated (recommended): pick an engine mode on the auto-publish page — DailyDrop posts one queued clip per day at a fixed time; StreamSync posts around your streams. Apply settings and let it run.
  • Manual: click download with captions on the clip card and upload the file to YouTube yourself.

Step 7: verify and go public

Check the upload on your channel: title, description (from your Default Description template), captions, and framing. Happy with it? Switch the YouTube privacy default to Public. From now on the pipeline is: stream → clips appear → caption the keepers → spotlight → automation posts.
