Most download tools hand you a folder of files and stop there. StreamStash keeps what you saved in a player built for it: chat replayed in sync, Next and Previous that follow the filters you set, and framing tools that fix an awkward recording without ever re-encoding your file.
Right-click anything in your library and choose Edit & export. One window holds Crop and Trim tabs, rotation, and a live preview showing the combined result of every edit, so you see what you are getting before you commit to it.
The preview shows the crop, the rotation and the trim range together, updating as you drag the box, jump between timed crop points or play through. You frame it and see the result, instead of saving and watching it back to find out.
A crop can change at chosen moments during playback, which matters on a recording whose framing shifts part-way through. Presets and a freeform box are both there, and closing with unsaved changes asks first.
Save in Player keeps the result in your library, either replacing the item or adding the trimmed clip alongside it. Export a copy writes a new file wherever you choose and leaves your library alone. On a TikTok live recording with a completed battle scan, a Battle focus tick box joins them.
| Choice | Where the result goes | The original |
|---|---|---|
| Replace this item | The same slot in your library | Permanently removed, so it asks you to confirm |
| Keep the original, save a new item | Your library, as a second item with a Trimmed badge linking back | Kept |
| Export a copy | Anywhere on disk you choose, untracked by StreamStash | Kept |
A view option only exists inside StreamStash. When you want that framing to survive outside the app, on a phone, in another player, or sent to someone else, export a copy instead.
A normal Save dialog puts the copy wherever you want it, with your crop, rotation and trim applied for real.
A long recording takes a while to export, so it runs in the background rather than holding you up.
When a TikTok creator goes into a 1v1, the recording holds both of them side by side in a band across the middle of the screen, with thick black bars above and below. StreamStash finds those stretches automatically and gives you two ways to watch them.
Both creators in a band across the middle. The creator you recorded takes up roughly a quarter of the player.
Cropped to the creator you were recording, so their half fills the player. Nothing on disk changes.
Trim black bars keeps both creators on screen and drops the empty space around them, so the battle fills the width of the player. Use either toggle on its own, or leave both off to watch the recording exactly as it was captured.
The sidebar shows how many battles a recording contains and how long they run altogether, with a chip for each one that seeks straight to it. Useful on a long stream where the battles are the part you came back for.
Once a battle scan has finished, a Battle focus tick box appears in the Edit & export window. Tick it and export, and the copy plays at its usual size, filling the screen with the creator you recorded whenever a battle is on and playing normally the rest of the time. Your recording stays untouched.
Framing tools matter most on live recordings, but the player is where you spend your time whatever you archive. Chat replayed in sync down the side, a position counter that counts the set you filtered to, and the controls where you expect them.
The player, its editing tools, export with edits and battle detection are part of StreamStash on Free, Personal and Power alike. Auto-clipping a live recording into ranked highlights is the Power feature that sits alongside them.
Keep what you save in a player built for it, with framing tools that fix an awkward recording without ever touching the file underneath.
