Start with the job, not the brand
VOD → vertical Shorts
You already have a finished broadcast and want AI cuts, captions, and TikTok/Shorts exports. Look at AI VOD tools (Eklipse, OpusClip, FragCut, Nexus Clips, and similar).
Local PC / console capture
You want hotkey or in-game event clips of your gameplay on the machine you play on. Tools like Medal fit that category.

How to choose in 60 seconds
- If you need official Twitch clips from live channels you monitor (including other creators) → start with HighlightPilot.
- If you need edited vertical videos from finished VODs → use an AI VOD/Shorts tool; you can still use HighlightPilot upstream for Twitch candidates.
- If you need hotkey / in-game clips of your own PC play → use a local capture tool like Medal.
Many teams use more than one category. HighlightPilot does not replace a Shorts editor or a desktop recorder — and those tools do not replace live multi-channel Twitch Helix clipping.
