Medal.tv vs Eklipse for Roblox: Which Clip Tool Should Roblox Creators Use?

Medal.tv and Eklipse both clip Roblox gameplay — but they do it at different points in your session and for different creator types. Medal runs on your PC during gameplay and captures locally. Eklipse processes your Twitch or Kick VOD after your stream ends, from the cloud. If you stream Roblox live, Eklipse is the stronger choice. If you play Roblox without streaming, Medal is the only option.

This comparison covers the real differences — performance impact, detection quality, output format, and which workflow makes more sense depending on how you play.

TL;DR

• Eklipse: Cloud-based, processes Twitch/Kick Roblox VODs post-stream, zero FPS impact, 9:16 vertical clips ready for TikTok
• Medal.tv: Local recorder, works without streaming, AI detection during/after local capture, 8–12% CPU overhead
• If you stream Roblox on Twitch or Kick: Eklipse — zero performance cost, automatic
• If you play Roblox without streaming: Medal — the only automated option for local sessions
• Can you use both? Yes — Medal for offline play, Eklipse for streamed sessions

The core difference: when does clipping happen?

Medal TV is a local recorder that runs on your PC during your Roblox session. It saves footage in the background and uses AI detection to identify highlight moments — kills, deaths, notable events — from the captured footage.

Eklipse is cloud-based and activates after your Roblox stream ends. Connect your Twitch or Kick account, stream as normal, and when you go offline, Eklipse pulls your VOD and runs AI detection on the full session. Clips appear in your dashboard 20–60 minutes later.

FPS impact: Eklipse has zero, Medal has overhead

Roblox is relatively lightweight, but this matters for competitive Roblox games like Arsenal and Combat Warriors where every frame counts.

Eklipse: Runs in the cloud after your stream ends. Zero CPU, zero GPU, zero RAM consumed during your Roblox session. Your frame rate is exactly what it would be without Eklipse running.

Medal.tv: Runs a background capture process during your session. On most modern PCs (Ryzen 5 / Intel i5 or better with dedicated GPU), the overhead is manageable — 8–12% CPU. On lower-spec machines or during CPU-intensive Roblox maps (busy servers, lots of effects), Medal can cause frame drops.

Winner for FPS-sensitive play: Eklipse. No contest.

Clip detection: which finds better Roblox moments?

Both tools use AI to detect highlight moments, but they’re trained differently.

Eklipse is trained specifically on gaming streams — kill feeds, chat volume spikes, streamer mic reactions, squad wipe notifications. For Roblox specifically:

• Kill streak events in PvP games (Arsenal, Combat Warriors) — detected via kill feed patterns
• Chat explosions — when 300+ messages appear in 5 seconds, something notable happened
• Streamer reaction moments — loud mic audio indicates excitement
• Round win / game win events — explicit visual signals

Medal.tv detects based on local game events — kill events, death events, some score thresholds. No chat spike detection (it has no chat data). No VOD-level context that would catch “the best moment in a 4-hour session” — it finds moments event by event.

Winner for Roblox streamers: Eklipse. Chat spike detection alone catches moments Medal would miss — a funny troll moment, a “how did that work” sequence, an unexpected clutch that exploded chat even if the kill feed signal was modest.

Winner for offline Roblox players: Medal. Eklipse doesn’t work without streaming.

Output format: ready for TikTok vs needs editing

Eklipse exports clips in 9:16 vertical format. Post directly to TikTok or YouTube Shorts with no reformatting. The aspect ratio, resolution, and orientation are already correct.

Medal.tv captures and exports in 16:9 (standard horizontal). To post to TikTok or YouTube Shorts, you need to reformat the clip — crop to vertical, add background blur or letterbox, resize. This takes 2–5 minutes per clip in CapCut or similar.

For a creator posting 5 Roblox Shorts per week, that’s 10–25 minutes of extra work per week that Eklipse eliminates.

Winner: Eklipse for TikTok-first creators.

Which Roblox use cases favor each tool

Use Eklipse if:

• You stream Roblox live on Twitch or Kick
• You want zero FPS impact during your session
• You want 9:16 clips ready for TikTok without manual reformatting
• You want AI to find moments from your whole 3–4 hour session, including ones you didn’t clip live
• You want chat spike detection for funny/unexpected Roblox moments

Use Medal.tv if:

• You play Roblox without streaming (offline sessions)
• You don’t want to set up a streaming account
• You want instant clip saves during your session without waiting for VOD processing
• You play on a low-spec PC and prefer local control over your recordings

Use both if:

• You sometimes stream and sometimes play offline — Medal for offline, Eklipse for streamed sessions

Roblox game-specific notes

Arsenal and Combat Warriors

Strong kill feed signals — both tools detect these. Eklipse additionally catches chat explosions when a kill streak is unusually impressive. Medal catches the events themselves.

Blox Fruits

Medal has limited event detection for progression games — it wasn’t designed for “fruit awakening” sequences. Eklipse relies on chat spikes and streamer reaction audio, which are strong in Blox Fruits streams when major progression events happen.

Bloxhaven and RP games

Chat spikes and funny moments are where Eklipse excels. Medal’s kill-event-based detection finds nothing in roleplay games. Eklipse catches the moments that went viral in chat.

Da Hood

Strong kill feed signals. Both tools detect fights effectively. Eklipse also catches the “crowd reaction” moments in Da Hood streams — moments where chat goes insane for reasons that aren’t just kills (a funny RP moment, an unexpected arrest sequence).

Frequently asked questions

Does Medal.tv work with Roblox?

Yes. Medal.tv captures Roblox gameplay locally and detects some in-game events (kills, deaths). It does not support Twitch VOD processing.

Does Eklipse work with Roblox?

Yes. Eklipse processes Roblox Twitch and Kick VODs after your stream ends. Detection is based on audio peaks, chat spikes, and visual events — not game-specific kill events, which means it works across all Roblox games rather than just PvP titles.

Can I use Medal.tv and Eklipse together?

Yes. If you stream live on Twitch, Eklipse handles the VOD. If you play offline sessions, Medal handles local capture. Many creators use both for different session types.

Does Eklipse work for Roblox on mobile?

Eklipse processes Twitch and Kick VODs. If you stream Roblox mobile to Twitch (via capture card or screen broadcast), Eklipse will process those VODs. Eklipse doesn’t capture local mobile recordings.

The verdict

If you stream Roblox on Twitch or Kick, Eklipse is the better tool — zero FPS impact, automatic post-stream processing, 9:16 vertical output, and chat spike detection that catches moments Medal would miss.

If you play Roblox offline without streaming, Medal.tv is your option — Eklipse requires a stream to process.
