Turn Dead by Daylight Gameplay into Shorts

The DBD HUD Editor is a flexible 9:16 composition tool built specifically for Dead by Daylight gameplay. Instead of blindly center-cropping a 16:9 stream and cutting off critical information, the editor composites full-frame vertical gameplay in the background and overlays independent live widgets for Perks, Survivor status, Item & Add-ons, Generators, and streamer Facecam.

You can independently crop, position, scale, and mask five dedicated widgets: (1) Streamer Facecam, (2) DBD Perks with four distinct diamond masks, (3) Survivor status icons and health states, (4) Item & Add-ons charges, and (5) Generator counter. Each widget can be repositioned anywhere across the 1080×1920 canvas.

Yes. Signed-in creators can customize widget crops, positions, scales, and mask feather settings, then click "Save as New" or "Update" to store the layout in their account under Dead by Daylight. When editing future DBD clips, you can apply your saved personal layout in one click without reconfiguring coordinates.

Widgets support two rendering modes: (1) Original live crop, and (2) Mask-only, where selected HUD shapes (such as the four DBD perk diamonds or circular icons) remain sharp with soft feathered edges while the surrounding rectangular crop is fully transparent.

Yes. Gameplay Shorts analyzes your Twitch stream broadcast across multiple signals—including gameplay action surges, streamer vocal energy shifts, chat message velocity, and visual dynamics—to identify and rank candidate highlight moments for your review.

No. Gameplay Shorts does not use a game-specific event classifier for in-game mechanics (such as pallet stuns, Moris, hatch escapes, or individual perk triggers). Instead, the platform evaluates broader audio, visual, vocal reaction, and chat signals across the broadcast to surface candidate highlight moments while you make the final creative choice.

Yes. The multi-signal highlight analysis and the 9:16 HUD editor work effectively across both Killer and Survivor perspectives. You can adjust the widget crops and positions to match Killer power icons and hook statuses or Survivor perk loadouts and item charges.

Yes. The Facecam widget can be repositioned and resized anywhere on your 9:16 canvas, or you can use the classic Facecam + Game stacked layout. You can adjust horizontal gameplay pan independently to keep your character centered without affecting camera framing.

Yes. Gameplay Shorts includes automatic speech-to-text transcription for any selected clip. You can select Clean, Bold, Gaming, or Karaoke visual styles, adjust placement between Bottom and Center, edit transcript wording directly in the browser, and burn subtitles into the exported MP4 with no extra credit charge.

No. You do not need to download multi-gigabyte video files to your computer. Paste the direct Twitch VOD link or enter the video ID into Gameplay Shorts, and the system retrieves, analyzes, and previews the footage directly in the cloud.

When a long stream broadcast exceeds your available VOD hours, Gameplay Shorts offers a Partial Stream Scan option. This allows you to scan the beginning portion of the stream up to your available credit balance (for example, analyzing the first 2 hours of a longer stream) or purchase additional hours to scan the entire broadcast.

All clips export as high-definition, watermark-free 1080×1920 vertical MP4 files, ready for upload to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.

Yes. Every new account receives a one-time allowance of 2 VOD hours (120 minutes) of stream analysis upon sign-up, with no credit card required. You can test highlight scanning, vertical reframing, the DBD HUD Editor, and captions on your own Dead by Daylight streams.
