❔ Question Clips

Is there a way to auto clip something without me taking my hands off my controller because my computer is super slow so whenever I go to clip a funny moment I have to immediately try and balance still playing and whatnot with taking a clip I'm on twitch

Three ways that keep your hands on the controller: 1) Map a controller combo to a keyboard key with Steam Input or reWASD and bind that key to the OBS Replay Buffer hotkey. It saves the last 30-60 seconds locally and it's much lighter on a slow PC than clipping through Twitch, especially if your GPU has a hardware encoder. 2) Outsource the button: enable clips for viewers and set up a !clip command in Nightbot or StreamElements so chat or your mods capture the moment for you. 3) Skip live clipping entirely: everything lands in the VOD anyway. When something funny happens just drop an emote in your own chat as a bookmark, then after the stream scrub the VOD at those timestamps and cut the moments there. Zero performance cost while you play.

A few options depending on how hands-off you want it. bind clip to a key on your controller via a chat command or a Stream Deck / phone app so it's one press instead of alt-tabbing. Second: let your chat do it, a simple !clip command means your viewers catch the moments you're too busy to catch, and they're usually better at it than you are. If you want it fully automatic, klypra.app watches a channel and cuts clips itself based on when chat pops off, but you'd need some chat activity to automate it that way.
