From a stream clip to a portrait video

1. Find and review the clip

Enter the Twitch channel in the clip tracker. The tracker lists the newest available clips by creation time, which is useful when you are checking what has been clipped during or after a stream.

Open the clip and watch it before exporting. Check that the moment makes sense on its own and that you have the rights or permission to use it. This is not an automatic highlight detector: the tracker does not decide what is funny, cut a new moment or publish anything for you.

2. Export a portrait version without cutting off the picture

Copy the supported public clip or recorded-video link into the portrait downloader. It creates a 1080 × 1920 MP4, keeping the complete original frame with blurred fill above and below. That is a formatting workflow, not a face-following crop.

Use a short recording: the downloader accepts up to 5 minutes and 200 MB. A public link may still be unavailable to the service because of the source platform's access rules. Private, live and restricted videos are not supported. If the link fails, use a recording you are authorized to download rather than trying to bypass a restriction.

The free service allows 10 requests per hour per IP and up to 3 concurrent jobs across the service. When the result is ready, download it within 30 minutes. Check the exported picture and audio before moving to the next step.

3. Add translated subtitles only if you need them

If you want to reach viewers in another language, open the Video and VOD Translator and upload the saved recording. Choose the subtitle language or up to three tracks, review the available customization settings, and download the subtitled result when processing finishes.

There are 60 video subtitle languages. This tool keeps the original voices; it does not create a dubbed voice track. Video translation is billed separately from the free portrait downloader and live-caption memberships at $0.50 to start plus $0.01 per second, with a five-second minimum.

If you translated the original file first, you can use that subtitled version in your own editor to create the portrait layout. ClipLab's public-link downloader does not accept a local upload, so its formatting and upload-based subtitle tools are separate steps, not one automatic combined export.

4. Review the result before you post

Watch the finished file with sound. Make sure a game's HUD, the streamer's face and any existing text remain readable. Review names, slang and timing in translated subtitles rather than assuming every phrase is correct.

The downloader adds a small StreamTranslate watermark and removes source descriptive metadata and chapters. It does not erase visible watermarks, give you permission to repost a clip, guarantee platform acceptance or improve recommendation algorithms.

You upload to TikTok, Reels or Shorts yourself. ClipLab does not post the video automatically, manage a social account or promise a particular audience result.

Keep each stage separate and easy to repeat

ClipLab groups the tools so you can return to the task you need. A completed downloader job offers a download and a way to start a new job. Starting again resets that job rather than turning the tracker, downloader and translator into one shared queue.

For the complete collection, open StreamTranslate Studio. For pricing distinctions, use the free-tools guide. For a different kind of translation, compare spoken captions and written chat.
