Eklipse analyzes your Twitch, Kick, and YouTube gaming streams, uses AI to detect the best moments automatically, and turns them into vertical clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. It supports over 3,000 games, scoring and extracting kills, clutches, chat spikes, and more. In June 2026, the company shipped “Gameplay Intelligence,” a new engine that analyzes the video itself — a step beyond the older detection method that leaned on audio spikes alone. That upgrade also broadened its reach into non-gaming content: just chatting streams, IRL broadcasts, and podcasts.
Key Features
- AI highlight detection (Gameplay Intelligence): Analyzes gameplay video, audio, and chat simultaneously, rating kills, clutches, comebacks, and chat surges with a “virality score.” The engine was rebuilt around video analysis in June 2026, adding support for highlight detection in just chatting, IRL streams, and podcasts
- Instant clipping by voice command: Say “Clip that.” mid-stream and the moment is saved. No hotkeys, no alt-tabbing — you never have to stop playing
- Automatic editing with AI Edit / Eklipse Studio: Detected moments are automatically cut, captioned, and converted to 9:16 vertical, with memes and effects inserted for you. You can fine-tune the result by hand in Eklipse Studio
- Publishing and scheduling with Content Publisher: Post finished clips straight to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels, or schedule them for later
- Up to 1440p output and multi-platform support: Works with Twitch, Kick, YouTube, and Facebook streams, and covers PS5/Xbox console streaming without a capture card. Ultra Highlights enables export at up to 1440p

Pros and Cons
✅ Pros
- Gameplay Intelligence analyzes the gameplay footage itself, so it catches clutches and comebacks that audio alone would miss
- Voice commands, automatic editing, vertical conversion, and scheduled posting all live in one pipeline, cutting post-stream editing work to nearly zero
- Supports over 3,000 games, and is one of the few clipping tools where serious editing is possible from a mobile app
- Beyond Twitch, Kick, YouTube, and Facebook, it handles PS5/Xbox console streams without a capture card
⚠️ Cons
- The free plan stops at highlight previews — exporting and posting clips requires Premium
- Monthly billing starts at $24.99 ($27.99 through the mobile app), which comes to $299.88 a year if you skip the annual plan — on the pricey side
- The tool is built around game streaming, and for podcasts or talk-heavy content, a purpose-built tool like OpusClip can be more accurate
- Its App Store rating sits at 3.9/5, lower than Trustpilot (4.1) or Capterra (4.8), so reception varies by platform

OpusClip is a general-purpose clipping tool aimed at podcasts and talk videos, while StreamLadder — like Eklipse — specializes in pulling highlights from streams and sits closest in feature set. What sets Eklipse apart is the gameplay-footage analysis accuracy that Gameplay Intelligence brought in 2026, along with how complete its mobile editing experience is.
Who It’s For
- Streamers on Twitch/Kick/YouTube who don’t want to spend hours cutting and editing clips after every stream
- Anyone who wants to mark a moment by voice with “Clip that.” and sort through the picks later
- Creators who want posting to TikTok, Shorts, and Reels automated or scheduled
- Streamers who want automatic highlight detection for just chatting and IRL broadcasts too (post-Gameplay Intelligence)
Summary
Eklipse is a clipping tool where AI detects highlights from your game streams and carries them all the way through vertical editing and publishing. The June 2026 Gameplay Intelligence launch widened both its detection accuracy and the range of content it handles, and its mobile editing is unusually polished. Worth keeping in mind: the free plan stops at previews, so real use assumes a Premium subscription (from $24.99/month, or effectively about $14.99/month billed annually).
