Find highlights in a recording
Rank the moments of a long game recording by game audio, your voice, what is on screen, chat and stream markers, then cut a reel or a Short.
The highlight finder reads a game recording on your own computer and ranks its moments. It explains each score, so you can see why a moment made the list.
Choose what to listen for#
Open "Highlights" in the left rail. "Find options" sets what counts:
- "Game audio": explosions, kills, crowd;
- "Your voice": you shouting or laughing on the mic track;
- "On screen": flashes, fast motion, kill feeds;
- "Chat": choose "Import a chat log…" to add a Twitch or YouTube chat replay saved as JSON;
- "Stream markers": markers you set while streaming.
It also sets "How many moments" and the "Minimum score".
Find and review the moments#
- Choose "Find highlights". Each moment gets a card with its score and the reasons for it.
- Review the cards from the keyboard:
- A accepts a moment and R rejects it;
- Enter jumps to its peak and Space plays it.
Make a highlight reel#
Choose "Make highlight reel (N)". It makes a new sequence of the accepted moments, or, when none is accepted, of every moment not rejected. "Reel options" sets:
- the "Order": "Best first" or "As it happened";
- the "Length" and the "Transition";
- "Music" from the Library, with the cuts landing on its beats;
- "Slow motion at each peak".
Make a Short from one moment#
Select a moment and choose "Make a Short". "Short options" set the "Layout" ("Auto", "Split" or "Blurred fill"), the "Facecam", "Captions" and a "Hook title". See Make a Short or TikTok.
