VALORANT Clip Maker

Rounds are short and self-contained, which is good news for clips: a single round often has a beginning, a middle and an end. These are the rounds that tend to rank well when the streamer is talking:

A typical VALORANT stream is the full 16:9 game with a webcam box placed over a corner. Pick Facecam + Video: ClipX puts the webcam at the top of the vertical frame and the crosshair area below it. A camera with a clean, bordered box is found automatically; with a borderless camera you set the top crop yourself for each clip.

By default the minimap sits in the top left, the round timer and team score run along the top centre, the kill feed shows in the top right, and health, abilities and ammo sit along the bottom. Players can resize or shift some of these, so look at the streamer's screen before you set captions. In the stacked layout, middle placement keeps captions off the bottom ability bar and away from the crosshair. Full Fit + Title is the better choice for an overview shot, such as a replay or a scoreboard the streamer is reading out.

Leave the length on Auto for most VALORANT clips. Each clip then follows its moment (2:45 at most), and in Gaming / stream mode the talk before a fight and the reaction after it both stay in, with a target of 20 seconds or longer.

Choose Short, under a minute, for a single duel or a quick clutch. Medium, one to three minutes, fits a whole round with the buy talk and the post-plant. Long (3 to 5 minutes) is for a run of rounds that tells one story, like a comeback from a big deficit, and plays better on YouTube than on short-form feeds.

Some streamers play with teammates' voices audible on stream. Their words get transcribed and captioned too, so think about whether the people you hear are fine with appearing in a clip. Heated rounds also bring swearing: the editor's Bleep swear words switch beeps or mutes each one before you post.

VALORANT Champions Tour broadcasts are produced by Riot Games and its partners. When a streamer co-streams a VCT match, the organizer's co-streaming terms apply to that broadcast, and they may not allow reposting clips of it. Check with the streamer first if you want watch-party clips, and build the clip around the streamer's reactions rather than the pro footage.

Your own VODs are yours to clip. For anyone else's, ask first: plenty of streamers are glad to have clippers and share rules on tagging and where to post, and some say no. Before ClipX processes a link, you confirm that you own the video or have the owner's permission.

Riot Games has not endorsed or sponsored ClipX, and ClipX has no connection to Riot Games. VALORANT is a Riot Games trademark, named here only so readers know what kind of stream this page covers.
