Kick VOD editor
The KickBot VOD editor is a Kick VOD viewer with a cut tool. Paste a Kick VOD link at kickbot.com/dashboard/editor, play the stream, set where your clip starts and ends, and export it. KickBot cuts the clip on its servers and gives you an MP4 file and a shareable clip page.
Use it to turn a long stream into short highlights, or to convert one part of a Kick VOD to MP4 without downloading the full stream. It works with VODs from any Kick channel. You need a KickBot account. See create your account.
