How to make a gaming highlight reel from your clips
A good highlight reel is mostly trimming: take ten raw recordings, cut each down to the two seconds that matter, and line them up. The slow part is usually the editor. Here is a free way to do the trimming entirely in your browser — built for CS2, Valorant, Apex, Fortnite, OBS and Shadowplay captures.
Open fqvid →Drop the whole session at once
Drag every recording from your clips folder onto fqvid in one go. Each becomes its own row with an audio waveform, so you can scan a long session quickly and spot where the action peaks.
Trim to the moment, keep the quality
Set IN and OUT points per clip with frame-accurate handles. Trimming is stream-copy — no re-encode — so a 1440p capture stays 1440p and the cut is near-instant even on multi-gigabyte files. Quick-cut presets grab the last few seconds for replay-buffer recordings.
Export the set
Click Download All to save every trimmed clip to disk, ready to drop into your editor of choice, or Upload All to push them straight to YouTube. Either way nothing uploads to a third-party server — the trimming is local.
How to do it, step by step
- Open fqvid. Go to yarimati.com/fqvid in a modern browser — no signup or install.
- Drop every clip. Drag your whole clips folder onto the page at once.
- Trim each one. Use the waveform and IN/OUT handles to cut each clip to its best moment.
- Export. Download All to save the trimmed clips, or Upload All to send them to YouTube.
Trimming runs in your browser via FFmpeg.wasm. Your recordings never upload to a server — only the optional final YouTube upload leaves your machine, going to your own channel.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need editing software to make a highlight reel?
Not for the trimming and assembly of clips. fqvid handles trimming each clip and exporting them; you only need a full editor if you want transitions or effects between clips.
Will trimming lower my video quality?
No. fqvid uses stream-copy, which removes frames outside your trim without re-encoding, so the output keeps the exact codec and quality of the source.
Is it free?
Yes — no ads, no signup, no upload to a third-party server.
