A back-to-basics clip pipeline for people who just want to crop, trim, and ship a clip without the bullshit.
RIPChamp watches folders you choose for new game/screen recordings and turns them into a simple browser-based queue: pick a clip, trim it, choose whether it stays local or gets uploaded, and let it run in the background while you get back to whatever you were doing. No editor to open, no export dialog to fight, no drag-and-drop UI stealing focus mid-game. Didn't come from a watched folder? Add it to the queue manually from the same page.
It started as a personal script and grew into something meant to be shared: a real installer, a first-run setup page, and encrypted local storage for all credentials.
- Folder watcher — monitors one folder (and its subfolders) for new recordings and adds them to the queue automatically; nothing pops up or steals focus while you're mid-game.
- Browser-based queue — a bookmarkable page listing everything waiting to be processed, currently processing, and already finished. Process clips whenever you're ready, not the instant they finish recording.
- Trim & crop picker — scrub to set start/end, choose to crop to 16:9 or keep the source's original aspect ratio, and preview before committing.
- Audio-only extraction — pull just the audio out as an mp3, with a custom filename if you want one.
- YouTube upload — uploads as Unlisted by default, with its own setup flow (Google Cloud Console walkthrough, client secret ingestion via a native file picker, one-click OAuth authorization).
- Streamable upload — no account or setup needed; automatically compresses to fit the 250MB cap.
- Discord integration — posts a link (or the file directly) to a Discord channel via webhook after upload, with support for multiple named channels.
- Encrypted credential storage — Discord webhooks and the YouTube client secret/token are encrypted at rest with Windows DPAPI, tied to your Windows account. No plaintext secrets on disk.
- First-run setup page — configure start-at-login, the watch folder, the local clip folder, and every integration from one page, with live status badges showing what's configured.
- Multi-file browse — manually add one or many videos to the queue at once, for anything the watcher didn't catch automatically.
- Standalone installer — checks for Python/ffmpeg (offering a one-click winget install if missing), installs RIPChamp's own Python dependencies, and launches straight into first-run setup.
- GPU-accelerated encoding — auto-detects NVENC/QuickSync/AMF/VideoToolbox and falls back to CPU encoding if none are available.
- HDR tone-mapping — auto-detects HDR sources and tone-maps down to SDR instead of producing a washed-out flat image.
- Windows 10/11
- Python 3.10 or later*
- ffmpeg*
- A modern web browser
* The installer checks for Python and ffmpeg automatically, offering a one-click winget install for either if they're missing, and installs RIPChamp's own Python package dependencies for you.
ShadowPlay Patcher by Temm
Imagine you experience a once-in-a-lifetim clippable moment and can't wait to immortalize it online forever. Now imagine the horror of finding out ShadowPlay somehow turned it's self off and no one will ever believe what just happened. I have known this despair SO MANY TIMES. I tried all the tips and tricks people posted but they never gave a lasting improvement. Then I found ShadowPlay Patcher and it set me free from worrying about if ShadowPlay was still running. Run the patch at start up and ShadowPlay is reliable again, hooray!
