Vyra for streamers: turn VODs into clips, highlight reels, and Shorts

Clipping a stream is a search problem. Vyra transcribes the whole VOD and analyzes what's on screen, so "find the moment chat lost it" or "every clutch in the last hour" gives you timestamps you can cut from in the same message.

What you make

Vertical Shorts with facecam over gameplay
Highlight reels
Reaction clips
Recap and announcement videos

Your three most-used prompts

Find and clip

Find the five loudest reactions in this VOD, where I shout or laugh for more than two seconds. For each, cut a 30-second 9:16 clip starting 8 seconds before the reaction. Facecam in the top third, gameplay below. Word-by-word captions for my speech.

Highlight reel

Build a 6-minute highlight reel from the VOD. Best plays and funniest chat moments, in the order they happened. Short title card with the game name at the start. Original audio, no music.

Reframe

Take the clip from 1:42:10 to 1:42:55 and make a 9:16 version. Crop the gameplay to the center of the action and keep the facecam on top. Captions in yellow, bold, black outline.

A typical workflow

Upload the VOD.
Ask for candidate moments by description. Review the timestamps.
Cut clips from the ones you want.
Reframe to 9:16 with a layout for facecam and gameplay.
Export the batch.

What Vyra does that matters for you

Long-file search by transcript and by what's on screen.
Layouts for facecam plus gameplay, including picture-in-picture and stacked grids.
Batch clips from one VOD in one conversation.
Bring your own Claude or ChatGPT over MCP if your editor already works that way.

What it does not do

It doesn't record your stream. Bring the VOD.
It doesn't read your chat log. Describe the moment or give a timestamp.

FAQ

How long can the VOD be? Long files work, but go in sections if the browser gets heavy. Ask for clips by time range.

Can it keep my overlay and alerts? Yes. It edits the recorded frame as-is. Crop them out if you don't want them.

Can a separate editor run it for me? Yes. Share the project and they describe the clips they want.
