# Free Opus Clip and Eklipse alternative for gameplay highlights
Last checked November 13, 2026 .
## The short version
Cutshed Video Game Clipper and Stream Clipper score loudness in the browser. Audio-only scoring is free and spends 0 credits. The video stays on this device. They do not fetch a Twitch, Kick, or YouTube URL.
Opus Clip’s pricing page, read on November 13, 2026, lists Free at $0, Starter at $15 a month, Pro at $29 a month, and Business as Custom. The free column marks watermark-free export as unavailable, and it says animated caption templates on that plan are with a watermark. Eklipse’s own FAQ says Premium starts at $24.99 a month and Premium Pro is $39.99 a month. Eklipse connects a stream channel. Cutshed does not.
## What Cutshed actually does
Cutshed publishes 29 free browser tools. Vocal removal, audio and video trims, compression, format conversion, background removal, upscaling, subtitles, and a timeline editor run in the tab. The file you open in those tools is not uploaded. There is no account and no watermark on a free export. Studio is separate, and it is the only paid part of the site. A Studio job sends the prompt, and a reference only when the model accepts one, to the provider. The credit price is the provider cost times 1.5, rounded up to the nearest 5. Packs are $5 for 400, $10 for 850, and $25 for 2,250. Credits stay on the account until they are spent. A failed or blocked generation puts them back. An unused pack is not refunded, except where the law requires it. The default clip, a 5-second Seedance 2.0 Mini at 480p, is 30 credits. Seedance 2.5 at 720p is 175 credits for 5 seconds, which is $2.19 on the $5 pack, $2.06 on the $10 pack, $1.94 on the $25 pack.
Video Game Clipper is for a gameplay recording you already have. Drop an MP4, MOV, or WebM. The page measures loudness in the tab, keeps the loudest stretches, and cuts 15, 30, or 60 second windows. You can ask for 3, 5, or 8 highlights. Vertical 9:16 is on by default and exports 720 by 1280. The file limit is 30 minutes or 400 MB. A silent file stops, because the score needs an audio track. The walkthrough is how to clip gameplay highlights automatically .
Stream Clipper is the same idea for a livestream VOD you already saved. It does not log into Twitch, Kick, or YouTube, and it does not fetch a URL. You can stack a facecam or center-crop, both at 720 by 1280. A file over 1.5 GB, or longer than 3 hours, is refused. The walkthrough is how to clip Twitch streams automatically . Week of Shorts plans several vertical clips from one saved VOD. Credits apply only when a vision model is configured. With no vision model, the score is free.
## Opus Clip, from its pricing page
On November 13, 2026, opus.pro/pricing listed four plans: Free at $0, Starter at $15 a month, Pro at $29 a month, and Business as Custom. The Free column’s video import is a local video up to 10 GB. Auto video import is marked unavailable on Free. Starter adds auto import from a verified YouTube account, still with a 10 GB local video. Pro lists a local video up to 30 GB and a public MP4 URL. The homepage says you can drop a video link or upload a file, and it says the Pro plan supports videos from YouTube, Twitch, and other hosts. A separate help article says the free plan can import YouTube, which that pricing column does not list, so this page does not settle it.
On that same table, Free animated caption templates are labeled with a watermark, and watermark-free video export is marked unavailable. Their help article says a Free plan or free trial shows an Opus Clip brand watermark on the clips, and that a paid plan removes it. Starter, Pro, and Business include watermark-free export. Free export is described as a 3-day limit, up to 1080p rendered clips, and Free media storage expires after 3 days. Free aspect ratio is 9:16. Moving object tracking is marked unavailable on Free and Starter, and included on Pro. The homepage FAQ also describes a 7-day Pro trial for a new user. The visible FAQ and the page’s schema markup disagree on whether the free allowance is counted in credits or in minutes, so this page does not repeat either number.
## Eklipse, from its own FAQ
Eklipse’s homepage, read the same day, says it is a clip maker for Twitch, Kick, and YouTube streamers, and that it also connects to Facebook. The steps on the page are: link the channel, get highlights, then post. The page has a streaming-channel URL field. Its FAQ says detection combines gameplay events, audio spikes, and chat sentiment, and that finished clips are vertical 9:16. It also says you can download a clip, and that Content Planner can schedule posts to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook.
The same FAQ says Premium starts at $24.99 a month and Premium Pro is $39.99 a month, and that annual plans add 1080p lossless export. Clips are stored 14 days on monthly plans and 90 days on annual plans. Asked about a clip cap, the FAQ says the limit depends on the plan and points to the help center. The help-center pricing URL we opened returned the homepage, not a plan table, so this page does not invent a clip cap or a free-plan price. It also does not state a watermark rule, because that page did not.
## When to pick which
Open Video Game Clipper when you have a gameplay file and you want the loud parts cut on this device, with no account for the audio-only pass. Open Stream Clipper when the file is a saved livestream and you want a facecam stack or a center crop. Neither page pulls a live channel.
Open Opus Clip when you want their hosted clipping, captions, and social posting, and you are willing to import a local video or, on the plans that say so, a link. Read their pricing page for the current watermark and storage rules. Open Eklipse when the job is a connected Twitch, Kick, YouTube, or Facebook channel rather than a file on your computer. Their FAQ is the price source used here.
## Gameplay clipping, November 13, 2026
## FAQ
- Is there a free Opus Clip alternative that does not upload the video?
Yes, for a file you already have. Video Game Clipper and Stream Clipper score loudness in the browser. The recording is not uploaded for that pass. They do not fetch a stream URL.
- Does Opus Clip’s free plan include a watermark?
Their pricing table, read on November 13, 2026, says animated caption templates on Free are with a watermark, and it marks watermark-free video export as unavailable on Free. Starter and the higher plans include watermark-free export.
- Does Eklipse clip from a stream link?
Their homepage asks for a streaming channel URL and says you link Twitch, YouTube, Kick, or Facebook. Cutshed does not connect those accounts. You drop a file you already saved.
- What does Cutshed charge to clip a gameplay highlight?
Audio-only scoring is free and spends 0 credits. A vision model scores sample frames only when one is configured, and that is when credits are spent. The estimate shows on the page only while vision scoring is on.
- Can Cutshed download a Twitch VOD for me?
No. Stream Clipper and Video Game Clipper both need a file you already have. The Twitch download steps, from Twitch’s own help, are in the stream-clipping walkthrough.
## Clip the file you already have
Open Video Game Clipper for a gameplay recording, or Stream Clipper for a saved livestream. Audio-only scoring stays in the browser.

Files stay on this device.
Free tools never upload the file you open. Studio is the only paid part of the site, and the only place a prompt is sent to a video model.
