Kick clip to
Instagram Reels.

Instagram's Reels rules

From Instagram's own pages:

• Shape: anything from 1.91:1 (wide) to 9:16 (tall). Use 9:16 so it fills the screen.
• Quality: at least 720 pixels and 30 frames per second.
• Length: Reels can be up to 20 minutes, but Reels over 3 minutes are not recommended to new audiences. For a stream clip, under a minute is usually plenty.

Kick clips are 10 to 180 seconds, so any Kick clip already fits the 3-minute limit.

Step by step: the manual way

1. Make or find the clip. On Kick, click the Clip icon on the player or press C, set 10 to 180 seconds, add a title and click Publish.
2. Download it. Open the clip and click Download. It saves as an .mp4 in the stream's wide 16:9 frame.
3. Make it vertical. In CapCut or a similar editor, start a 9:16 project. Stack your face cam on top and the gameplay underneath, or crop to where the action is.
4. Add captions. Most Reels are watched with the sound off. Use the editor's auto captions and fix any wrong words.
5. Export at 1080p if you can, at least 720p, 30fps or higher.
6. Post it as a Reel. In the caption, say who it is and where they stream on Kick.

Plan on ten to twenty minutes per clip.

Posting someone else's Kick clip?

Any Kick clip can be downloaded, but it is still the streamer's content. Only post it if they allow it, for example through their clipping campaign. See how to make money clipping.

Skip the editing: clips that are already vertical

Every route above starts after the moment is over, one clip at a time. ReelShift works while you are live: it watches your Kick stream, cuts the best moments as they happen and hands you vertical clips with captions, ready for TikTok, Shorts and Reels. Say "clip that" on stream to save the last 60 seconds yourself. See the Kick clipper.
