A story-driven cut
AquaEdits builds around the attempt, the setback, and the payoff. In a Twitch session, an earlier failed run may explain the winning decision, so the setup stays and the queues and repeated attempts go.
Twitch VOD in. Video out.
The AI Twitch
VOD editor.
Twitch VODs expire. AquaEdits is an AI long-form video editor: upload the broadcast, and it reads the whole stream, finds the story, and cuts it into one YouTube-ready video. Edit Twitch VODs with AI before they disappear.

Why Twitch streamers need this
Twitch VODs expire.
Videos don't.
Twitch keeps past broadcasts for a limited time. Save a source copy before the storage window closes, then turn it into the edited upload. AquaEdits cuts that recording into one long-form video you can publish.
Leave it as a VOD
A broadcast with a countdown
- Deleted when Twitch's storage window closes
- Only seen by viewers who were live
- Hours of footage for viewers to navigate
- Nothing to post on YouTube between streams
Edit it with AquaEdits
The whole VOD, cut to a story
- Saved as a finished long-form video
- Reaches viewers who missed the stream
- Cut to the story, not to the clock
- Ready to upload to YouTube, where it keeps working
Download the broadcast from Twitch before it expires, then upload the file to AquaEdits. Your upload stays in your studio.
What you get
Edit Twitch VODs with AI, end to end.
Every edit starts with a full section of your Twitch 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. Name the moments that must stay, the running jokes that need their setup, and 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 Twitch VOD editing works
Twitch VOD in.
Video out.
-
01
Download and upload the VOD
Save the broadcast from Twitch before it expires, then upload the file 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 publish
Take the finished MP4 and post it to YouTube, or open the editable project in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve first.
Before you upload
Save the Twitch source before you start
Check storage and expiration
Enable past-broadcast storage before streaming. Twitch lists retention windows of 7 days for other broadcasters, 14 days for Affiliates, and 60 days for most Partners, Prime and Turbo users. Some recording versions have shorter limits, so check the actual broadcast in Video Producer and save your own copy promptly.
Check the downloaded recording
Note missing audio, muted sections, or interruptions before you write the brief. A highlight without its setup may not tell the whole story, so keep the earlier scenes the ending depends on.
Platform guidance checked September 11, 2026: Twitch on-demand content and VOD retention. These are Twitch storage windows, not AquaEdits input limits.
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 Twitch VOD editing, explained.
What an AI Twitch VOD editor is, how it differs from clipping tools, and what to do with a VOD that is about to expire. Anything else? Email us.
What is an AI Twitch VOD editor?
An AI Twitch VOD editor turns a recorded Twitch 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 Twitch VOD into a YouTube video?
Yes. Download the VOD from Twitch, upload the file, and set a title, a target length, and a brief. AquaEdits returns one long-form video you can upload to YouTube.
What if my Twitch VOD is about to expire?
Download your own broadcast from Twitch Video Producer before it expires and check that the file plays. Upload that copy to AquaEdits; an expired VOD cannot be recovered from a link.
How long can the Twitch 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.
