You give it a Twitch VOD (sometimes 4+ hours long) and it finds the best moments, generates titles, adds karaoke-style animated captions, and renders them as vertical clips ready for TikTok (pending), Shorts, and Reels. I'm actively developing and testing live clipping. While a stream is happening, it watches via a VLM every 30 seconds, moments in real time, and creates clips on the fly.
