A story-driven cut
AquaEdits finds a clear reason for someone outside your Kick community to watch: a challenge, a comeback, or a discovery. The rules and stakes come before the first payoff, and the breaks that interrupt the thread go.
Kick VOD in. Video out.
The AI Kick
VOD editor.
Kick is where you stream. YouTube is where the video keeps working. AquaEdits is an AI long-form video editor: upload your Kick broadcast, and it reads the whole stream, finds the story, and cuts it into one finished video.

Why Kick streamers cross-post
Stream on Kick.
Grow everywhere.
A Kick broadcast and an edited YouTube upload serve different viewing situations. Someone who missed the live session needs context, and the moments that connect the goal to the ending. AquaEdits makes that long-form gaming edit.
Kick VOD only
A broadcast that stays on Kick
- Only seen by viewers who were already on Kick
- Hours of footage for viewers to navigate
- Editing every VOD by hand doesn't scale
- Nothing to post on YouTube between streams
Edited with AquaEdits
The whole VOD, cut to a story
- Cut into a finished long-form video
- Reaches YouTube viewers who have never opened Kick
- A planned upload from your recording
- Yours to publish, or to finish in your own editor
Save your Kick VOD as a video file, then upload it to AquaEdits. Your upload stays in your studio.
What you get
Kick stream editing, end to end.
Every edit starts with a full section of your Kick VOD and ends with one long-form video. Not a highlight reel.
Your brief steers it
Set a title, a target length, and a brief. Explain unfamiliar usernames and community catchphrases, name the moments that must stay, and list the sections to skip.
Up to five hours per edit
Upload a recording up to 50 GiB and mark the section to edit with in and out points. AquaEdits reads the whole section before it cuts.
A finished MP4
The default deliverable is a finished video with effects and captions, ready to upload to YouTube.
Or an editable project
Prefer to finish it yourself? Download the cut as a timeline for Premiere Pro (XML) or DaVinci Resolve (.otioz), with your source media and a separate WAV.
How AI Kick VOD editing works
Kick VOD in.
Video out.
-
01
Save and upload the VOD
Keep your local recording, or save the Kick VOD as a video file, then upload it to your studio. Mark the section to edit, up to five hours.
-
02
Direct the edit
Name the video, pick a target length, and tell AquaEdits what matters. Start from a preset: tell a story, best moments, or clean it up.
-
03
Download, then post
Take the finished MP4 and publish it on YouTube, or open the editable project in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve first.
Before you upload
Check your Kick recording before you upload
Look for the complete session
A reconnect can split a Kick stream into multiple VODs. Check the recordings in order and note any missing segments so the edit can preserve the setup and ending. Keep a local source copy before an archive expires; an automatically deleted VOD cannot be recovered.
Save the VOD as a video file
AquaEdits edits an uploaded video file, not a playlist link. Kick’s download guide describes third-party tools, so check that what you saved is a playable video before uploading it. Retention can depend on account features, including eligible pinned VODs.
Platform guidance checked September 11, 2026: Kick missing VOD guidance, Kick download guide, and VOD pinning.
Check the file against the upload limits
AquaEdits accepts one recording up to 50 GiB and edits a section of up to five hours per video. Play the beginning, middle, and ending of the file before you upload it, and note the timestamps for the goal, the turning point, and the payoff so your brief can name them.

FAQ
AI Kick VOD editing, explained.
What an AI Kick VOD editor is, how it differs from clipping tools, and how a Kick stream becomes a YouTube video. Anything else? Email us.
What is an AI Kick VOD editor?
An AI Kick VOD editor turns a recorded Kick stream into an edited video without you scrubbing through the timeline. AquaEdits is built for long-form: it finds the story across hours of footage and cuts it into one complete video.
How is long-form VOD editing different from clipping?
A clipping tool selects short excerpts from a longer recording. AquaEdits makes one complete long-form video with connected setup, progression, and payoff, built from a section of up to five hours.
Can you turn a Kick stream into a YouTube video?
Yes. Save the Kick VOD as a video file, upload it, and set a title, a target length, and a brief. AquaEdits returns one long-form video you can upload to YouTube.
Do I need to download my Kick VOD first?
Yes. AquaEdits edits an uploaded video file, so save the VOD or use your local recording. Keep a copy before the platform archive expires.
How long can the Kick stream be?
Upload a recording up to 50 GiB and mark a section up to five hours long with in and out points. For a longer stream, edit one section per video.
What do I get back?
A finished MP4 with effects and captions, ready to upload. You can choose an editable project instead: a cut timeline for Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve with your source media and a separate WAV.
How much does it cost?
Your first video is free on a 7-day trial; a card is required and nothing is charged until the trial ends. After that, Creator is $50 a month for 5 videos and Professional is $80 a month for 10.
