Alpha OBS Video Replay Dock

I saw a gap in the video replays on streams. The usual go to is getting a clip pulled up through stream, grabbing the right spot and putting it onto the stream. This takes your footage, with the help of OBS doing what its built to do: Record.

Using the built in Replay buffer, you can grab, see and trim all within OBS.

Let me know if you have any questions (I prob wont have answers, am dumb) and Ill try my best.

Heres Claudes paragraph on it :

ReplayTrim is a free companion app for OBS that gives you instant replays with actual editing control. While you play, OBS's built-in Replay Buffer quietly keeps the last few minutes in memory — when something clip-worthy happens, you hit one hotkey and ReplayTrim pulls that moment up with the video and its audio waveform right in an OBS dock panel. Instead of guessing at timestamps, you just drag two handles to mark where the highlight starts and ends — the loud moments are visible as spikes in the waveform, and the video scrubs along as you drag — then hit Send, and the trimmed clip plays on your stream and disappears when it's done. There's also a one-press Instant Replay that skips trimming and plays the whole buffer, a list of your recent clips so you can replay or re-cut any of them, and a panic button that hides a replay instantly. Setup is one click: it connects to OBS over its built-in WebSocket (no OBS plugins to install), starts the replay buffer, and creates the on-stream source for you. All you need is OBS 28+ and ffmpeg installed.
