StreamLadder
AI finds the best moments of your livestream and turns them into social-ready vertical shorts with one click
What is it
StreamLadder is an AI editing tool from the Netherlands that automatically finds the best moments of your livestream and turns them into vertical short videos suited to social platforms. It's built to handle the gap from long horizontal livestreams to vertical shorts, so streamers don't have to manually crop aspect ratios and reformat to produce content that fits mobile viewing habits.
Who it's for and how to use it
It mainly targets streamers and short-video creators on platforms like Twitch and YouTube. You hand it your livestream content, and the system picks out the highlight segments and outputs them in vertical format, ready to post to vertical-short social platforms to expand reach. For creators who want to run both livestreaming and shorts but struggle with the production cost of two formats, this turns "livestream archives" into an endless stream of social material, keeping exposure without pouring in extra editing time. Overall it lowers the barrier to repurposing content across platforms, letting one livestream spawn many shorts and reach more potential viewers who don't watch long streams — a practical content-repurposing tool.
