Frequently asked
Can ViralMint convert a single Twitch clip to vertical like Crossclip?
Yes. Paste the clip URL (or upload the mp4) and use the Reframe tool to convert 16:9 → 9:16 with face-tracking. Pair with the Captions tool for word-by-word burn-in. If you're starting from a long VOD instead of a pre-cut clip, Clip Studio extracts the viral moments first.
Do I need Streamlabs OBS to use ViralMint?
No — ViralMint is fully independent of Streamlabs. Any source URL (Twitch, Kick, YouTube) downloads via yt-dlp; any local mp4 imports directly. The Streamlabs ecosystem integration is a Crossclip-only feature.
Is the conversion quality the same as Crossclip?
Reframe uses MediaPipe face-tracking to keep the speaker centered during the 16:9 → 9:16 crop, same approach as most competitor tools. Quality depends on the source resolution and the camera framing, not the converter.
