Powder

What it is

Powder is a Windows app that uses AI to turn gameplay recordings and completed streams into clips. It identifies game-specific highlights across more than 40 popular games, analyzes audio for emotional moments, and uses transcript keywords, semantic search, and community engagement signals to locate moments worth sharing. Its recorder captures gameplay, game sound, and voice, including audio from multiple devices such as Discord voice chat. Recording supports up to 4K UHD at high frame rates. Powder can analyze local files and completed, publicly available Twitch, YouTube, or Kick streams, with processing performed on the Windows PC. It is post-processing software, so recordings must finish and streams must end before extraction. The free plan includes unlimited recording and analysis, local-file analysis, AI highlights, and 1080p exports with a Powder outro. Powder Pro costs $9.99 a month and adds connections, VOD tools, community detection, AutoEdits, and 4K 120 FPS exports.

Good, and not so good
