Creating Twitch Clip Edits for TikTok??

I have used online software to creat TikToks from my twitch clips but the watermark is annoying lol. I havs scoured the internet and have had no luck with knowing if there is a way to do it with iMovie. Anyone know if this is possible??

Ha! Pretty cool.


So, essentially you have a video in the background with an insert of you speaking and interacting in real time. Is that it?


I don't know what formatting requirements that TikTok has. However, you can do a Picture in Picture with iMovie. You would need a camera recording the background and a second camera simultaneously recording you interacting with the background. You end up with two videos. Put the background video into the main iMovie timeline and the video of you speaking in the upper timeline above it. Then you use the Picture in Picture feature to insert your speaking video into the background video, at whatever position and size that you want. When you are done, export the video out to your desktop for uploading into the TikTok website. Not sure that that's what you want, but I think that that's the best that can be done with iMovie.

Ahhh I see that might work. Let me ask you this: I am able to download the twitch clip that shows the gameplay and me on the bottom right. Am I able to record On Screen playback on my mac? That way I can screen record my footage and crop something for tiktok ratio, and then record a second time to record and crop the section that shows me in there? Am I making sense? lol?

You can use the PhotoBooth app to record yourself speaking.


You can use Command-Shift-5 that will let you record the whole or selected portion of a movie that is playing on your screen. With screen recordings the sound isn't real great, so if you can record the sound separately, and then merge it with the video, that might give you better quality. You'd need to try it and see.
