Kick clips, transcribed
Kick has grown into a major streaming platform, and its clips spread across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X within minutes of a big moment. Every re-post works better with captions, and every highlight channel needs the words: for titles, descriptions, subtitles and community posts.
PullSubtitle turns a Kick clip into text. We check for a caption track first and return it with its timings if one exists. Since most streams aren't captioned, paid plans add AI if no captions, which sends the clip's audio to speech recognition and gives you a transcript of what was said. Kick clips are short, so they fit within the two-minute AI window that costs a single credit.
Alongside the transcript, you'll see the clip title, the channel, the clip's length, when it was created and how many views it has. Paid plans add likes, the stream category and who made the clip.
How to transcribe a Kick clip
- Open the clip on kick.com, or follow a clip link someone shared.
- Copy the URL from your browser, or use the clip's share option to copy the link.
- Paste it into the box at the top of this page.
- On a paid plan, leave AI if no captions switched on.
- Press Get transcript.
- Copy the text or download it in any format your plan includes.
Clip links normally look like kick.com/channelname/clips/clip_01ABC.... Links to a channel page or a full VOD aren't clips; make a clip of the moment you need first.
Who uses Kick clip transcripts
Clip channels and editors
Captions are the difference between a clip that gets watched and one that gets scrolled past. Download SRT, drop it into CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci Resolve, style it and publish. For AI transcripts, timings are estimated across the clip, which is close enough for most short edits.
Streamers building a highlight library
Keep a searchable text record of your best moments. Signed-in users can search their history by title and channel, so finding last month's legendary rant takes seconds.
Community managers
Post the transcript in Discord or on X so fans who missed the stream can catch the moment, and so moderators have a record of what was said.
Brand and sponsorship tracking
When a sponsor's product is mentioned on stream, the transcript of the clip is quick evidence of what was said, and the view count shows how many people saw it.
Writing titles and hooks
Read the transcript and use the strongest line as the title or on-screen hook of your re-post.
Clip details included
Each Kick result shows:
- Every plan: clip title, channel name and link, channel avatar, thumbnail, duration, creation date and view count.
- Paid plans: likes, the stream category, who clipped it and all details exported with the transcript in JSON or Markdown.
Use the channel link to credit the streamer when you repost, and include the clipper's name if your community values it.
Captions, AI and what counts against your plan
Every Kick result is labelled either Original captions or AI transcription:
- If the clip has captions, they're returned with exact timings. That's 1 credit on any plan.
- If there are no captions and AI if no captions is on (Starter or Pro), the audio is transcribed. Clips up to two minutes cost 1 credit.
- If there are no captions and you're on the Free plan, you'll see a message instead of a transcript, and no credits are used.
AI works best when the streamer's voice sits clearly above game audio and music. Heavy background noise, loud alerts or several people talking at once can lower accuracy, so give the transcript a quick read before publishing subtitles.
Batch mode for compilations
Compilations and weekly recaps start with a pile of clips. Turn on Batch on a paid plan, paste the clip links one per line (up to 10 on Starter, 50 on Pro), and PullSubtitle transcribes them one after another. Each row shows the clip title and word count when it's done, and you can open any clip to copy or export it.
Export SRT for each clip you're using, or export JSON for the whole set to plan the running order in a spreadsheet using views and likes.
Export formats
- TXT — plain text for captions, descriptions and posts.
- SRT / VTT — subtitle files for editors and video platforms.
- CSV — each line with start and end times for spreadsheet planning.
- JSON — transcript plus clip metadata for automation.
- Markdown — a tidy document with the clip's details at the top.
TXT and SRT are included free; paid plans unlock all six formats.
A fast captioning workflow for Kick highlights
If you run a clip channel or edit for a streamer, here is a workflow that keeps captioning to a couple of minutes per clip:
- Collect clip links during or after the stream. Paste them into a note as you go.
- Run them through batch mode on PullSubtitle in one go after the stream ends.
- Skim each transcript for the strongest line. That becomes your title and on-screen hook.
- Download SRT for the clips you're publishing and import them into your editor.
- Fix names and slang. AI handles everyday speech well, but streamer nicknames, game terms and chat in-jokes may need a quick correction.
- Restyle and export your vertical edit with captions burned in.
Over a week, this turns a pile of clips into a consistent stream of captioned shorts without anyone typing subtitles from scratch.
Short clips, long clips
Kick clips are usually short, which keeps them inside the two-minute AI window that costs a single credit. If you're working with a longer clip, switch on Long-video AI; it costs 3 credits per started minute, and your balance is shown under the input box.
Multilingual streams
Many Kick streamers switch between languages. The AI transcribes what it hears, so a bilingual clip comes back in both languages. If you need everything in one language for subtitles, paste the transcript into a translator and adjust the SRT lines afterwards.
Respect the streamer
Clips belong to the streamers who made them. Check a streamer's rules on clipping and reposting, credit their channel and link back to Kick. PullSubtitle doesn't use a Kick account, never follows or chats, and doesn't store the video file. Signed-in users' transcripts stay in a private history for their plan's retention period and can be deleted at any time.
