RipClip vs Moments

In short: SteelSeries Moments records your gameplay on Windows and clips moments with a hotkey or automatically in supported games. RipClip works after the stream: paste a Kick or Twitch VOD link and it finds the moments in the whole broadcast, talk and reactions included, then you edit, schedule and track the clips. Choose Moments to capture plays as they happen; choose RipClip to turn finished streams into a week of posts.

Why streamers try RipClip

Paste a Kick or Twitch link. VODs and clips work on every plan, even before you sign up. No downloading a 4-hour file first.
A whole stream, free. The free plan's 110 HU cover a 4-hour stream, exported in 1080p. Or try one 30-minute video without an account.
Pay for stream hours, not clips. Clip exports and edits are unlimited, and every minute costs less the longer the stream.
A real editor, included. An 8-track timeline with keyframes, speed ramps, 44 effects and colour grading, in the browser. The preview uses the same maths as the export.
Clip, edit, schedule, track. One calendar for TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads and X, and live view counts on what you post.*
Streams up to 12 hours. 4 hours on Free and Creator, 8 on Pro, 12 on Studio.

*Posting switches on platform by platform as each one approves RipClip; until then, download your clips and post them yourself.

Questions.

Can RipClip replace Moments?

They do different jobs: Moments captures game clips on your PC as you play; RipClip clips the Kick or Twitch VOD after the stream. Many streamers could use both.
