Momento Moments library with gameplay thumbnails in the English interface
English interface, illustrated with sample content.

The Moments library

The Moments tab gathers all your clips, grouped by date. Hover a card to play it, rename it, share it, change its thumbnail, add tags, delete it or open it in the explorer. The zoom slider in the top right (or Ctrl + wheel / pinch on the grid) makes cards bigger or fits more per row. In the player, previous and next follow the filtered library and preserve playback speed. Ambilight extends the colours around the player without changing the video file.

Search for a clip

The magnifier (or Ctrl+F) in the Moments header filters instantly. You can search by:

  • Weapon (CS2) — e.g. ak47, m4a4.
  • Map (CS2) — e.g. mirage, inferno.
  • Champion (LoL) — e.g. yasuo. Hero (Dota 2).
  • Role (LoL) — top, jungle, mid, adc, support.
  • Multikill — double, triple, quadra, penta, ace, no-scope.

Automatic names and tags

On supported games, your clips are named and tagged on their own — for example “Triple kill with the AK-47 on Mirage” (CS2) or “Quadra with Yasuo” (LoL).

Tags — organise your library your way

Tags are your own coloured keywords. Create your own (“to review”, “smurf”, “funny fail”…) and stick them on your clips AND your Stills. One shared vocabulary across both galleries: a tag created on a clip is instantly reusable on a screenshot.

  1. Right-click a clip → “Tags…” (or the Tags button in a Still’s lightbox).
  2. Type a name: if it already exists, pick it from the list; otherwise Enter creates it (with an auto colour you can change).
  3. To filter, click a tag in the filter bar at the top of the gallery. Several tags = only the items carrying all of them.
  • Shared vocabulary: the same tags show up on both Sequences and Stills.
  • Manage: the “Manage” button in the filter bar lets you rename, recolour or delete a tag everywhere at once.
  • Your tags are stored locally, next to your media — they survive a cache wipe.

Set a custom thumbnail

You can replace a Moment's or a Sequence's thumbnail with any Instant from your gallery (edited or not) — handy for a cover that reads better than a random frame pulled from the video.

  1. Hover the Moment (or Sequence) card and click the “Thumbnail” button (image icon) in the action bar.
  2. In the window that opens, pick the Instant to use as the cover.
  3. The page refreshes and the new thumbnail shows right away.

Grab a frame from a clip

From a Moment or Sequence player, you can turn the shown frame into a new Instant (full-resolution, editable) — perfect to isolate a key moment, annotate it, or use it as a thumbnail.

  1. Open a Moment (or Sequence) and pause on the frame you want.
  2. Click “Grab frame” (camera icon) in the player bar.
  3. The image lands in your Instants, ready to edit or share.

Use the tools together

Turn a long session into a short clip

Record a session, find it in Sequences and use the editor to keep a shorter Moment in your library.

Turn a video frame into an image or cover

Extract a frame from a Moment or Sequence as an Instant, edit it and use an image as a custom video cover.

Keep clips, screenshots and notes together

Pin a Moment or Instant inside a note or on the freeform canvas to keep the media next to your explanation.

Organise different media with the same labels

Use the same labels across Moments, Sequences and Instants to organise related media your way.

Build a montage from available game events

When a clip contains the required game events, KillCut can use that context to prepare kill segments. Availability depends on the game and data in the clip.
