*For Gamers*

A vertical crop of a gaming stream forces a bad choice: show your face or show the play. Nova refuses it — your facecam goes on top, the gameplay fills below, stacked into one 9:16 clip. Twitch, Kick, or YouTube gaming, Nova finds the moments and stacks them for you.

## What you get

### Facecam over gameplay, automatic

Nova spots your webcam and builds the classic stacked layout — your reaction up top, the action below — the format that actually performs for gaming Shorts.

### It finds the clutch moments

AI scans the whole VOD for the plays, wipes, and reactions worth posting, so you ship highlights instead of scrubbing footage.

### Vertical + captioned, no editor

Every clip exports 9:16 with animated captions burned in — ready for TikTok, Shorts, and Reels straight out of Nova.

## FAQ

### Does this work with Twitch and Kick?

Yes — upload a VOD from Twitch, Kick, YouTube gaming, or a local recording. Nova processes the footage the same way and stacks your facecam over the gameplay.

### How does Nova know where my facecam is?

It auto-detects the webcam box from the footage. If your layout is unusual, you can override the facecam corner manually before clipping.

### What if there's no facecam in the footage?

Nova falls back to a normal vertical reframe that keeps the action centered. Stacking only triggers when it's confident a facecam is present.
