Ratz Clips for OBS
A native OBS Studio plugin with a built in clip editor and 12 RatzGG color themes. Capture from the replay buffer, trim, slice into segments, and upload to Ratz Clips in one click. Native C++ — no Python, no extra runtime to launch.
Smart replay capture
Routes OBS replay buffer clips by active app or scene and renames them on the fly. Aliases match exes or whole folders.
Built in editor
Trim with keyframe snap, slice into multiple segments, batch save, multi-clip projects. Standalone editor.exe ships alongside.
12 RatzGG themes
Optional install: Default, Crimson, Cyan, Emerald, Amber, 5 Muted variants, Mono, and a Rainbow palette. Whole UI hue-shifts.
One click upload
Push the trimmed clip straight to Ratz Clips. Faststart MP4 and a generated thumbnail come along.
Recommended: .exe installer
Auto-installs the plugin DLL, the standalone Ratz Clips Editor, and (optionally) the 12 RatzGG OBS themes. Runs as administrator, closes OBS for you, drops everything in the right folders, restarts OBS.
Requirements
- OBS Studio 30+ installed at
C:\Program Files\obs-studiowith Replay Buffer enabled. - Windows 10 / 11 (x64). macOS and Linux are not supported in 1.0.
Install steps (.exe)
- Click Download installer above. Run the resulting
RatzClipsPluginSetup.exeas administrator. - On the components screen, choose Full install to also drop the 12 RatzGG OBS themes into
data\obs-studio\themes\, or Plugin only if you want to keep your current OBS theme. - Let it run. OBS will close (if open) and restart when the installer finishes.
- In OBS, open Tools → Ratz Clips Settings to configure the base path, naming mode, and aliases.
- Bind a hotkey to Save Replay Buffer (and the per-mode shortcuts the plugin registers, if you use those).
- Press the hotkey in game. The trimmer dock and editor handle the rest. Tick Upload to Ratz Clips in the editor to push finished clips here.
Portable .zip (manual install)
If you want a portable layout (no admin install), download the .zip and follow the bundled INSTALL.txt — it walks through copying plugin/ratz-clips-plugin.dll, the RatzClipsEditor/ folder, and the themes/ contents into your OBS install.
12 RatzGG themes
Optional component. Includes Default (Purple), Crimson, Cyan, Emerald, Amber, the same five as Muted variants, plus Mono (greyscale) and Rainbow. Pick one in OBS Settings → Appearance → Theme.
Login to upload
The first upload opens a Discord login in your browser. The session is stored locally and you can clear it from the popup at any time.
Updates
The plugin polls https://clips.ratz-gg.net/updates/manifest.json shortly after OBS launches. When a new version is published, you'll see a small dialog offering to open the install page — re-run the installer to upgrade. Disable in Tools → Ratz Clips Settings → Other.
Troubleshooting
- Plugin not loading: confirm
ratz-clips-plugin.dllsits inobs-studio\obs-plugins\64bit\and theRatzClipsEditorfolder lives next toobs64.exe. - Themes not showing: verify the 12
RatzGG_*.ovtfiles plusRatzGG.obtare inobs-studio\data\obs-studio\themes\, then restart OBS. - Upload stuck: log in to Ratz Clips in your browser, then re-open the popup.
- Migrating from the old Python script? Uninstall the legacy script (
Tools → Scripts → ratz_clips_obs.py → Remove) before installing the plugin so the two don't fight over the replay buffer.
