How to Edit Gaming Clips for TikTok

The first step is to have some clips, and the best way to capture those from your PC games is through Moments — it's free and easy to use. It includes auto-clipping, super easy editing, and quick sharing to social media platforms.

Once you have your clip open, in the upper right, select the canvas size to be 9:16. Then, you can also slide the selector on the clip preview to capture the most important section of the video.

Remember, you can adjust various aspects of the clip, such as its length and audio, or even adds GIFs, with Moments.

Once you're ready for the next step, click Share Clip.

Log in to your TikTok account on your computer. In the next step, you'll be able to drag the video onto the TikTok upload screen directly.

Just like so, with a simple drag and drop, your video clip is in the right dimensions for TikTok. From there, you can follow your typical configurations to set up the clip using the editor in TikTok. Note though that the name of the clip does carry over.

Configure your usual settings on TikTok. Write out the hashtags, set the schedule for publishing, and anything else that you may think about. Hit that publish button when you're ready, and there you go — you just successfully edited and posted your gaming clip on TikTok!

How to Share Gaming Clips on YouTube

Maybe you're not a TikTok person. Or maybe you want to cover even more platforms, which is the smart thing to do. Of course, Moments allows you to also quickly and easily export your clip to YouTube, and it automatically recognizes the clip as a Short. Here are the step.

It's quite similar to what we talked about above. Choose your clip and edit it, and when you select which platform to Share the clip to, choose YouTube instead of TikTok. You will be asked to connect your account if you haven't before.

Once that's successful, return to the Moments screen, and keep going with the YouTube upload. You should see a screen like this that confirms a few things, such as the title of your clip.

Adjust the details of your clip there, but don't worry; you will have another opportunity to overview all the details. Simply hit the Start Upload button and wait a bit, then proceed to your YouTube Studio account.

Note that YouTube does automatically recognize the video as a Short. Fill out all the details you need, such as Visibility, hashtags, description, thumbnail. etc. You're ready to hit Publish and your clip from Moments is live to share on YouTube!
