For gameplay reactors
Gaming reaction video editor
Make gaming reaction videos in your browser: trailer reveals, speedruns, tournament moments or another creator’s run. Line your camera up with the footage, pick a layout, and the editor cuts to you the moment you react out loud.

What people make with it
What makes gameplay reactions hard to edit
A HUD you cannot cover
The health bar, the minimap and the timer are part of what people watch. Your camera takes any of nineteen shapes and goes where the game shows nothing important, and a saved project keeps that spot for the next video from the same game.
Fast footage and small text
The output follows your source resolution, up to 4K, so HUD numbers and the small print in a trailer stay readable instead of blurring.
Pointing at one detail
Pan and zoom with keyframes pushes into a corner of the frame and back out, so viewers see exactly the secret, the glitch or the reveal you are talking about.
Three moments, and you choose every look
The editor swaps between the first two from your microphone and puts the third at the start and the end. Each look is a ready-made one or one you build, and a second version makes the clips take turns over a long video.
You’re quiet
The look that runs while the footage plays. Keep your camera small and out of the HUD, because the action is what people came for.
You speak
The look the editor cuts to when you react out loud. A bigger you, with the footage still moving behind.
Intro & outro
Just you, on the whole frame, at the start and the end. The game, the record or the reveal you are about to watch.
Where we would start for gameplay reactions
A gaming reaction is about the action, so the footage should own the frame. Video-first keeps it full-screen with your camera in a corner, and cuts to a bigger you when you start talking.
You’re quiet
The footage has the whole frame
Your camera sits in a corner shape, placed where the HUD has nothing to say. Size, corner and shape are yours to set, and the footage is untouched behind it.
You speak
You come to the middle, the footage goes soft
The moment you react out loud, the camera grows to the centre and the footage blurs behind you. It keeps running, so the fight or the run never disappears.
A suggestion, not a lock. The same project can run the other way round: you full-screen, the footage in a window you control. It shows less of the original, which is what you want on a trailer that gets claimed.
And then you are in a real editor
Gaming reactions move fast, and the edit has to keep up without hiding the thing people came to see.

- Pan and zoom into a detail of the trailer, with keyframes, so viewers see exactly what you are pointing at
- A shape over part of the frame to circle a secret or hide a spoiler
- Hard cuts for the fast moments, and a transition where the reveal needs a breath
- A title with the record time or the game’s name, filled with a gradient or a glow

A gameplay reaction, start to finish
The order we would work in. New to it? Start with the beginner guide.
- 1Get the footage at the highest resolution you can: your own capture, or the publisher’s trailer file.
- 2Record your reaction with headphones on, so game sound does not fire the cuts.
- 3Take a Video-first template set and drag your camera to a corner the HUD leaves empty.
- 4Generate, then add pan and zoom on the replay you want people to see up close.
- 5Add a title with the record time or the game’s name, and save.
You get the finished final.mp4, and a timeline for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere or Final Cut if you want to keep going.
If you get a copyright claim
Publishers differ. Many are happy to see reactions to their trailers and gameplay and some are not, and a soundtrack inside the footage can be matched like any song. If a trailer gets claimed, move to You-first and shrink the window, or turn the footage down while you talk. Your own gameplay is yours; someone else’s run is their recording, so credit the creator and keep your commentary going.

Questions about gameplay reactions
Can I react to my own gameplay?
Yes. Your gameplay recording is simply the video you react to, and your camera is the other recording. The editor does not care what either of them shows.
Will the HUD stay readable?
The video comes out at the resolution of your source, up to 4K, so it is as readable as the footage you brought. Keep your camera off the parts of the HUD that matter.
Can I zoom into part of the footage?
Yes. Pan and zoom on the timeline sets a start and an end on a clip, with keyframes, and the editor moves between them.
