How does Klap make sports highlights?
Klap finds moments from what's said, so it works on sports video where there's speech: play-by-play commentary, streamed games, broadcast replays, coach breakdowns, post-game interviews and sports podcasts. Each moment comes back as its own vertical clip with animated captions and a virality score, framed on the speaker or the action, and ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Why sports creators and coaches use Klap
Ask for the plays you want
Type "every goal", "shots on goal" or "the best dunks" and Klap looks for them in the commentary.
No editing skills required
Klap cuts each moment, adds captions and reframes it for vertical. You review and post.
Stop spending Sunday cutting Saturday's game tape
Coaches spend hours every weekend trimming footage for breakdowns. Sports creators rewatch whole games to find a few clips. Klap changes the math: give it a game with commentary, or a film session with your voice over it, and the moments come back as separate vertical clips, captioned and ready to post.
Give Klap footage with a voice on it
Klap finds moments from what's said, so the commentary is what makes it work. Broadcast feeds, streamed games, coach breakdowns and interviews all give it plenty to go on. Filming from the sideline? Talk through the plays as you film, or record a voiceover over your game film, and Klap has what it needs.
AI Reframe 2 keeps the frame on what matters
Klap's AI Reframe 2 turns horizontal video into vertical without losing the point of the shot. It detects content zones in your footage (webcam overlay, broadcast graphics, the playing field, replay segments) and then focuses on the active speaker's face when there is one, or the most important part of the frame when there isn't. Every clip also gets a Virality Score, so the strongest moments surface first. Clipping something other than sports? Use the highlight video maker.
How to make a sports highlight video in 3 steps
Drop in a streamed game, a broadcast replay, a film session with your voiceover or a post-game interview. Klap accepts MP4, MOV and links from YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Loom, Google Drive and Dropbox, up to 3 hours per video.
The AI reads the commentary for scoring plays, big calls and reactions, and gives each moment a Virality Score from 0-100. Or tell it what to look for, such as "every goal" or "the most pivotal moments of each drive". Each moment becomes its own captioned clip.
Add your logo and fonts with a saved template, trim any clip in the transcript editor, then download or post to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn or Facebook.
Built for sports video with a voice on it

Frequently asked questions
How do I make a sports highlight video?
Paste a link to the game or upload the video into Klap's sports highlight video maker. The AI reads the commentary for scoring plays, big calls and reactions, and turns each one into a vertical clip with captions and a Virality Score. You can also ask for specific plays, such as "every goal". Then edit any clip, add your logo with a template and post or download.
What footage works with Klap's sports highlight maker?
Sports video where there's speech. Klap finds moments from what's said, so broadcast feeds, streamed games with commentary, coach breakdowns, post-game interviews and sports podcasts all work well. If you film from the sideline, talk through the plays as you film or record a voiceover over the game film, and Klap has what it needs.
What sports does Klap's highlight maker support?
Any sport with commentary: basketball, football, soccer, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, baseball, rugby, MMA, wrestling, gymnastics, track and more. Klap doesn't use sport-specific presets. The same AI reads the commentary and reframes the video, whatever the sport.
Can I use Klap for youth and high school sports?
Yes, when there's a voice on the footage. Streamed games with commentary work straight away, and parents and coaches can talk through the plays as they film or add a voiceover. Coaches use it for film breakdowns, and creators use it for recaps.
Can I ask for specific plays?
Yes. Describe what you want in your own words, such as "every goal", "shots on goal" or "the most pivotal moments of each drive", and Klap looks for those moments in the commentary. You can also drag across the timeline to set the start and end of a clip yourself.
