3.1Thrown out
At 0:28:08
Routine planning, with nothing happening.
It never reaches you. Thrown-out moments cost you no review time and no render.
Turn it on. Let it run.
Pick your channels and leave your PC on. VodMine watches them, records when they go live, judges every spike, and cuts the keepers to 9:16 with captions and a hook, with nobody at the keyboard. You come back to finished clips and press Post on the ones you like, or turn on Autopilot and it posts them on your schedule. Pay once, with no subscription.
Most of a stream gets thrown out. This sample timeline is cut open, so pick a gold moment to watch a real VodMine clip and read what the judge said about it.
The line is chat speed. A shaft drops from each spike to a moment, and deeper means a higher score. The gold ones were kept.

Jynxzi turns a tiny failed hotwire click into an escalating meltdown, with the shouted “GET OUT OF MY PC, SATAN” as a clear emotional payoff.

A clear live-action Shrek reveal gives viewers an instant visual hook, followed by xQc’s surprised reaction and chat going wild.
Hook: xQc encounters live-action Shrek on stream 😳
The timeline and the thrown-out moments are samples. The kept ones are real VodMine clips from four separate streams, with the scores and reasons the judge gave them. IShowSpeed, Kai Cenat, Jynxzi and xQc have no connection to VodMine and don't endorse it.
Your PC takes the night shift
| Who | What |
|---|---|
| VodMine, by itself | Watches your channels, notices when they go live, records, flags the spikes, judges them, cuts the keepers, and writes the captions and hooks. It works through any VODs you line up, and restarts a recording if it drops. |
| You, once | Install it, connect an AI and add your channels. |
| You, after that | Leave the PC on, watch the finished clips and press Post. TikTok requires that last part. |
Left alone, it needs an AI that's always there, like a key or local AI. Free tiers have daily limits, and a chat plan only works while your chat is open. We can't promise views or money, and nobody honest can. VodMine does the hours of watching and cutting. What you earn depends on your clips, your accounts and each platform's rules.
What happens to a stream while you're gone
| Step | What VodMine does | Runs on |
|---|---|---|
| Watch | Give it a channel and it records whenever they go live, keeping a rolling 20 minutes. Or give it a finished VOD. | Your PC |
| Flag | Chat speed, loudness and YouTube's most-replayed graph mark the spikes. Each chat is measured against its own normal, so a huge chat doesn't flag everything. | Your PC |
| Judge | An AI rates each moment against a written rubric: the first 3 seconds, whether a stranger gets it, the payoff. Below the minimum score you set, it's out, and you can read why. | The AI you choose |
| Cut | Starts on the setup and ends just after the payoff, at whatever length the moment needs. | The AI you choose |
| Package | Facecam over gameplay, word-by-word captions, a one-line hook, a title and hashtags. Flagged words get reworded or masked. | Your PC, and the AI you choose |
| Review | You approve or reject. Every call becomes an example the judge reads next time, so it picks up your taste. | You |
| Post | Preview and press Post through your own Zernio account, or download it. Or let Autopilot post on your schedule, with TikTok getting drafts unless you switch it to posting straight away. | You, or your Autopilot rules |
This is what comes out
These came straight from the renderer at 1080 by 1920, with a hook, captions on the action and no watermark. Rendering takes 2 to 12 minutes a clip on a 4-core laptop, with no graphics card needed.
Review these yourself
Use the AI you already have
VodMine doesn't sell AI credits. Each job can use a different model, so a free one can write titles while a better one judges. Your keys stay in Windows Credential Manager, and they only ever go to the service they belong to.
Free ways in: OpenRouter's free models, Gemini's free tier, or Ollama and LM Studio on your own PC. Plans you already pay for: connect Claude Code or Codex and they do the judging while your chat is open. API keys: Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, MiniMax, Moonshot, Z.ai, Alibaba, ByteDance, or any compatible address.
During the beta, MiniMax, Claude Code and Codex have been tested for real. The other services are built from their docs and get tested as beta users connect them.
| Scout | Reads the whole transcript and proposes moments |
|---|---|
| Watcher | Watches each moment and reports what actually happens. VodMine checks a model can really watch clips before it gets this job. |
| Judge | Rates each moment, and code works out the score |
| Editor | Picks the exact start and end |
| Packager | Writes the hook, title and caption |
| Hook Critic | Asks whether a stranger would stop for this hook |
| Final Check | Confirms the hook matches what the clip shows |
Pay once. No subscription.
| What | Cloud clip tools | VodMine |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Prices and billing models vary by provider | $47 for VodMine. Connected services may charge separately. |
| Limits | May use credits, minutes or plan limits | Limited by your PC, selected settings and connected services |
| Your video | Cloud services process media on their servers | Editing and rendering on your PC. Selected media goes to the AI and posting services you use. |
| Watching live | Check the provider's current live-recording features | Records and clips supported live streams while your PC and services are available |
| Online access | Depends on the service and plan | Periodic license validation; streaming and cloud AI need internet access |
| Setup | Paste a link and go | Install it and connect an AI |
| Hardware | Any browser | A Windows PC that can stay on |

Not for everyone
- It's a beta. The whole product is here, but expect rough edges and fixes arriving as updates. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows warns you when you install it.
- Windows only for now. No Mac or phone version.
- It needs a PC that stays on. It can only record a stream while it's running, so a laptop that goes to sleep will miss things. You'll want 8 GB of memory at the least and 20 GB free.
- Twitch and YouTube only. No Kick yet.
- TikTok's rules still apply. TikTok wants you to confirm each post, so Autopilot sends TikTok drafts you post from the app. You can switch it to posting straight away, but that breaks TikTok's rule and puts your account at risk.
- You'll do some setup. Connecting an AI takes a few minutes, where cloud tools work from the first click.
Questions
Can I really just leave it running?
Yes, once it's set up. Keep its window open and the PC awake, and it watches your channels, records, judges and cuts without you. Finished clips wait on the review page, and that's where you press Post. Free AI tiers have daily limits and a chat plan only works while your chat is open, so use a key or local AI to run it all night.
Will it make me money?
No income or results are promised or guaranteed. You may earn nothing or lose money after costs. A clip score does not predict views, virality or earnings. Reused clips can be ineligible for monetization even with permission. VodMine is editing software; buying it does not qualify you for a payout program or campaign.
How long does my license last?
100 years from the day you buy, and you won't pay a subscription for it. It checks in about once a month to confirm the license, and updates keep it working as things change. If we ever stop running that check for good, we'll first release an update that removes it, so the copy you bought keeps running. We can't promise Twitch, YouTube or your AI service will never change in a way that stops it working.
What does beta mean if I'm paying?
You get the whole product now, with rough edges, and fixes arrive as updates. It isn't code-signed yet, so Windows warns you when you install it. We reserve the right to change how VodMine launches after the beta, but if you buy during the beta, your license lasts 100 years from the day you buy.
Do I need to know how to edit video?
No. Cuts, layout, captions and hooks are done for you. You watch the result and decide. You can fix the title and caption before you post.
Is there a watermark?
No. TikTok's rules bar apps from adding one, and we wouldn't anyway.
What does it cost to run?
VodMine itself charges nothing per clip. Free AI tiers exist but have limits, around 50 requests a day on OpenRouter's free models. Paid keys bill you directly. Zernio, if you use it to post, is free for up to 2 connected accounts. Three accounts cost $6 a month, and that's Zernio's price, not ours.
What PC do I need?
Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit, with 8 GB of memory at the least, 16 GB to be comfortable, and 20 GB free. No graphics card needed. A 4-core laptop renders a clip in 2 to 12 minutes.
Will it post without me?
Only if you turn on Autopilot. Then it can approve clips that score high enough and post them to the accounts you pick, right away or at the times you set, up to a daily limit. TikTok gets drafts you post from the TikTok app, unless you switch it to posting straight away. That goes against TikTok's rule that you confirm each post yourself, so it could cost you the account, and that's your call. With Autopilot off, nothing goes out until you press Post.
Which sites does it work with?
It clips from Twitch and YouTube. It posts to TikTok, YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels through your own Zernio account, or you can download any clip and post it anywhere.
Am I allowed to post clips of streamers?
Use your own content or obtain the permissions or other legal basis you need. Public availability, credit, cropping and captions do not grant copyright, music or publicity rights. Platforms have separate originality and monetization rules. Manual posting does not remove those obligations.
Does it work offline?
After it checks in around day 8, the license keeps working for up to 30 days without a connection. Downloading streams needs the internet, and so does judging, unless you run AI locally with Ollama or LM Studio.
What happens to my data?
Your files and keys are stored on your PC. AI and posting services receive the material needed for the features you use. Our license service processes your license, a hashed PC identifier and a first-clip yes/no report; Cloudflare processes web requests. See the privacy policy for details, retention and support information.
Can I get a refund?
Full refund within 7 days of purchase, as long as VodMine hasn't made any clips for you.
