How do you make vertical Twitch or Kick clips with the facecam on top and gameplay below?
Last updated: October 27, 2026
In short: In this layout, the top of a 1080×1920 vertical clip shows the webcam and the bottom shows the game or screen. To build it, you mark the camera area and the game area separately on a frame of the stream recording and stack the two pieces. In Wiozen Forge you make that selection once and save it as a template, and every clip that uses the template comes out with the same layout.
Why camera on top and game below?
On a landscape stream the webcam is usually a small box in a corner. Squeeze the whole frame onto a vertical screen and both your face and the game shrink; crop the middle and the webcam falls out of frame. A split layout keeps both: your face is big enough to read on a phone, the game fills most of the screen, and viewers see your reaction next to the moment that caused it.
In Forge's Streamer layout the camera goes into the top 1080×608 area and the game into the bottom 1080×1312 area. The camera area is 16:9, the same shape as the webcam itself, so your face isn't stretched or squashed.
Picking the camera and game areas
By hand, you open the same video twice as two layers in an editor. On one you crop just the webcam to 16:9 and put it on top; on the other you crop the game area and put it below. If your webcam sits in the same spot every stream, saving this as a project template helps; if it moves, you redo it for each recording.
When you start a job with the Streamer layout in Forge, the job page shows a frame from the video (it can take a few minutes to appear). There are two boxes on the frame, one for the camera and one for the game. You drag them and resize them from a corner. The proportions are fixed, so you can't pick a wrong shape. You save the selection as a template; up to 10 are kept, so you can have separate ones for different games or scene setups.
Channel band
Once a clip travels away from your stream, having your channel handle on screen is how viewers find you. Forge can add a channel band to the Streamer layout, and the band stays in the same spot on every clip that uses the template.
The band text is 1 to 32 characters of English letters, digits and . _ - / @, for example @yourchannel. You can place the band on the seam between the two images, at the top or at the bottom. There are preset colors (neon, green, purple, red and black), or you can pick your own gradient. The icon and font can be changed too.
Paste a stream or connect your channel
For clips from a single stream, open Clips, choose “Create clip” and paste the Twitch or Kick link of the finished stream. If the recording is on your computer, upload it as a file instead (MP4, MOV, MKV or WEBM, up to 2 GB). One job processes up to 6 hours; for a longer stream you pick the range.
If you stream regularly, connecting your channel saves work. You connect your Twitch or Kick channel through the platform's official sign-in, and only a channel you own can be connected. When a stream ends and its recording is ready, a clip job opens by itself and you get a notification when the clips are done. Streams shorter than 10 minutes are skipped. In the channel settings you choose how many hours per stream get processed, from 1 to 6. If a stream is longer than your remaining clip hours, the most active part is picked, and these automatic jobs never charge for extra time.
Channel connection starts with the Starter plan. How many channels you can connect depends on the plan: Starter 1, Pro 3, Agency 10.
When the clips are ready
Forge transcribes the stream, looks at reactions in the audio and the chat, scores each moment from 0 to 100 and renders the 10 highest-scoring clips. Every clip has word-timed captions, and with the hook title on, a short headline shows at the top for the first 3 seconds.
If you pick one of your accounts in automatic posting mode in the channel settings, the best 3 clips are scheduled on it automatically. Without one, clips are only prepared and you download or share them one by one. Downloads are unlimited; each shared clip uses 1 video from your plan.
How much clip time does it use?
The time charged is the length of the recording processed, counted when the job finishes; failed or cancelled jobs aren't charged. Process all of a 3-hour stream and 3 hours are used. The smallest clip plan, Streamer, is $6.99 a month with 3 hours of clips; to connect a channel, the Starter plan is $19.99 a month with 15 hours. On a job you start yourself, if you run out and approve it, the extra time is charged at $0.50 per hour from your Wiozen balance.
Frequently asked questions
Which layout should I use without a webcam?
The Streamer layout is for recordings with a webcam. Without one, Fit puts the whole game frame in the middle and fills the space above and below with a blurred copy of it. If there's a face talking, Single face follows it.
Do I have to pick the camera area for every clip?
No. You select it once and save it as a template, and it stays the same on every clip that uses it, including your connected channel's automatic jobs.
Do I give Forge my password to connect a channel?
No. The channel is connected through Twitch's or Kick's own sign-in page, and your password never reaches Forge. You can remove the connection any time from My channels.
What happens if a stream is longer than 6 hours?
On a job you start yourself, you choose a range of up to 6 hours. For a connected channel, you set the per-stream limit in the settings; if a stream goes past that limit or your remaining clip hours, the most active part is processed.
Can I make clips from someone else's stream?
You can only connect a channel you own or are authorized to manage. Streams you paste as links also need to be ones you have the right to use.
