vod.ing /about

Built by editors, for editors.

Voding is a small, independently operated tool. We made it because the existing options either downloaded the whole VoD to your hard drive or charged enterprise money for an AI black box that still missed the actual jokes.

Why this exists

Twitch VoDs are long. An eight-hour stream is 35 GB at source bitrate. The best moments usually live in a few minutes scattered across that runtime, and chat has already told you where they are — chat just isn't legible at 1× speed when you're scrubbing. Most VoD editing tools either ignore chat entirely or render it as an unsearchable image. Voding puts chat activity on a graph, lets you cut clips before downloading anything, and renders chat overlays you can drop into Resolve or Premiere.

How it works under the hood

Voding runs on dedicated infrastructure in Frankfurt (eu-central-1). When you request a VoD, our ingest pipeline pulls it from Twitch at around 230 Mb/s to an S3 bucket. The chat log comes down separately via TwitchDownloaderCLI and lands in MongoDB. Clip and chat-overlay renders run on a long-warm worker fleet so jobs start in seconds, not minutes. The editor itself is a SvelteKit app — server-side rendered for first paint, interactive for the timeline UI.

What's included on every plan

Every paid plan ships with every feature: the chat-activity graph, automatic highlight suggestions, animated 7TV/BTTV/FFZ emote overlays, transparent MOV export, FCPXML 1.10 for round-tripping into your NLE. The only variable is how much storage you keep on Voding S3 at one time. Pricing detail lives on /price.

What we don't do

Voding does not train AI models on your VoDs or chat. We do not sell user data, we don't run third-party advertising trackers, and we don't share content between accounts. The content you process belongs to the streamers who made it; we treat it that way.
