Native Twitch clips
Native Twitch clips from VODs, without forced crop
Beyond vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts, Riveloop creates native Helix clips from VODs — keeping Twitch’s original format and audio.
Native clips vs vertical 9:16 clips
Native Twitch clips stay on Twitch with the VOD’s look and audio. 9:16 exports target external short-form feeds. On Riveloop they are two distinct objects, not one renamed file.
Choose native when you want a moment highlighted on Twitch; choose 9:16 when you’re aiming at TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.
How to create a native clip
From a channel archive VOD, set start and end (typically 5–60 seconds) and create via Helix. You need a real channel VOD, not a demo.
- Connect Twitch with clip permissions
- Open a channel archive VOD
- Set interval and title
- Create the native clip on Twitch
When to use them
Ideal for channel highlights, chat links, and moments that must stay faithful to the original layout (webcam, HUD, live aspect ratio).
What they don’t do
Native clips are not a 9:16 burn-in export. For overlays, stickers, and social format, use the Stories editor and vertical export.

Specific answers for this flow.
What are native Twitch clips on Riveloop?
Clips created via Helix from a VOD: they stay on Twitch with original format and audio, typically 5–60 seconds.
Are they the same as vertical TikTok clips?
No. Native clips stay on Twitch; vertical 9:16 files are exports for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, optionally with burn-in in the editor.
Which VODs can I use?
Real archives from your Twitch channel. Not available on demo content or when an existing Twitch clip is the source.
Can I burn text into native clips?
Text and sticker burn-in is designed for 9:16 Stories exports. Native clips preserve the original Twitch video.
