Powder.gg alternative for Valorant streamers
For creators who were using Powder to auto-clip highlights.
Powder's team posted a notice that the Powder app will no longer be updated or maintained. If you were using it to turn your gameplay into shorts, you'll need another tool. This page is for Valorant creators looking at what to try next.
What Clutch does
- Valorant-only on purpose. We read the in-game Combat Report and kill feed to find your actual 3K / 4K / ace rounds, not generic highlight guesses.
- No install. It runs in the browser. Paste a Twitch VOD link from your own channel, or upload an mp4/mov/mkv/webm (up to 15 GB, 4 h).
- Shorts, ready to post. Up to 8 vertical clips per VOD with a HUD-aware crop (three variants), word-by-word captions, and titles — ranked by predicted CTR.
Where Clutch is narrower than Powder was
- One game. Powder covered multiple games with desktop recording or a VOD link import. Clutch only works on Valorant VODs — if you also need clips from other titles, Clutch can't help there.
- Twitch links only. Powder could pull VODs from Twitch, YouTube or Kick. Clutch takes Twitch VOD links from your own channel, or a file upload.
- 3K+ rounds only. We clip 3Ks, 4Ks and aces. If you want long highlight compilations or every notable kill, Clutch is the wrong fit.
- VOD-based. We process after the stream ends. If you need clips while you're still live, look elsewhere.
