Counter-Strike 2 Clip Maker

Every CS2 round has a natural arc: buy, set up, fight, result. The clips that rank highest are rounds where the streamer talks through that arc. Common ones:

CS2 streams are usually full-screen game footage with a webcam placed in a corner or along the side. Facecam + Video gives you a stacked vertical frame: camera on top, game in the lower part. ClipX detects a webcam box on its own when its edges are clear; otherwise drag the top crop once for each clip.

With the default HUD, the radar occupies the top left corner, the timer and score are centred at the top, the kill feed runs down the top right, health and armour are in the bottom left and ammo is in the bottom right. Many players change their HUD settings, so check the stream itself. The middle caption position is usually the safe choice in a stacked frame, since it sits between the camera and the crosshair and away from both bottom corners. For a clip that needs the whole screen, such as a scoreboard check, use Full Fit + Title.

Auto is the right starting point. Clips stretch to fit what happened, never past roughly 2:45. Gaming / stream mode holds on to the lead-up as well as the reaction and targets 20 seconds at minimum.

Use Short (under 1 minute) for one duel or a fast clutch. Use Medium (1 to 3 minutes) when the round only makes sense with the buy and the setup included, like an eco win. Long (3 to 5 minutes) covers a run of rounds around a half or an overtime, which suits YouTube more than TikTok.

A streamer's own matches, in Premier, Competitive or on third-party servers, are their content to share, and clipping them only needs their say-so. Pro tournaments are a different case. Majors and other events are produced by their organizers, who own the broadcast and set the rules for co-streams and watch parties. Those rules may not cover clips of the event feed.

If a streamer watches a tournament live, ask them what you may post before you clip it, and keep the clip centred on their own commentary.

Clip another creator's broadcast only when they allow it. Many CS streamers welcome clip accounts and set rules on tagging and platforms; others prefer to post their own. No link is processed until you tell ClipX the footage is yours or that the owner signed off.
