Stop streaming. Your recording is already on its way.

VFXFlow for OBS is a companion app that connects to OBS's built-in WebSocket. It saves a full-quality replay clip whenever the VFXFlow Twitch bot spots a moment, and sends your whole local recording to VFXFlow the moment you end the stream. No exporting, no uploading.

Early access. Uploading and editing in the browser work today. VFXFlow for OBS, the Twitch bot, channels, the agent connector and posting are rolling out to the waitlist a batch at a time. Join the list.

What it does during a stream

  1. Connects to OBS on your PC through OBS WebSocket, with the password you set in OBS.
  2. Notices when you start streaming and recording.
  3. When the Twitch bot marks a moment, tells OBS to save its replay buffer, so the last minute or two is kept at full quality.
  4. When you stop streaming, uploads the full recording and the replay clips to VFXFlow in the background.

Separate tracksYes, if you record mic and game audio apartNo, one mixed track

Recording separate audio tracks in OBS (mic on one, game on another) gives the best edits: VFXFlow can duck the game under your voice and mute copyrighted music without touching what you say.

Settings we recommend

  • Recording format: MKV or fragmented MP4, so a crash doesn't lose the file.
  • Replay buffer: on, 120 seconds.
  • Audio: mic and game audio on separate tracks.
  • Resolution: record at your canvas size, even if you stream lower.

Questions people ask

What is VFXFlow for OBS?

A small companion app for your streaming PC. It talks to OBS through OBS's built-in WebSocket, saves replay clips when the VFXFlow Twitch bot spots a moment, and uploads your full recording to VFXFlow when the stream ends.

Is VFXFlow for OBS available?

Not yet. It's coming after the Twitch bot. Join the waitlist to get it first. Until then, upload your recording or VOD in the browser.

Why use my OBS recording instead of the Twitch VOD?

It's better quality, because it hasn't been compressed for streaming, and it doesn't expire. Most Twitch channels keep VODs for about 7 days; your own recording is yours for good.

Does it slow down my stream?

It's designed not to. Uploads start after you stop streaming, so they never compete with your stream for upload bandwidth, and replay clips use OBS's own replay buffer.

What do I need?

OBS Studio 28 or newer (WebSocket is built in), recording turned on, and the replay buffer turned on if you want instant moment clips.

You record. We handle everything else.

Editing is free with no watermark. Posting is $5 a month for each channel you connect.
