ClipHub Studio is a Windows desktop app for Counter-Strike 2 players and creators. Give it a demo and it finds your plays, records them inside the real game and edits them into a vertical Short or a long 16:9 video. It is Luis Reche's own product, shared with the agency SocialPro. It has 100+ users and 130+ releases. The app interface is in Spanish.

- Download
ClipHub.Studio.Setup.<version>.exefrom the latest release. Each release also listsSHA256SUMS.txt. - Run it. The installer is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Open ClipHub Studio. The app fetches the tools it needs on its own: HLAE, FFmpeg and yt-dlp.
Requirements:
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
- Steam with Counter-Strike 2 installed. Capture runs CS2 on your own machine, so a dedicated GPU gives the cleanest result.
- About 1 GB of free disk space.
The app updates itself from the latest GitHub Release.
- Open the section for the format you want: Shorts (9:16) or Demo completa (16:9).
- Add the match. Drop a
.dem,.dem.zst,.zipor.rarfile (up to 10 demos at once), or paste aCSGO-share code and download the demo from Steam. - Pick the player. ClipHub reads the demo and lists the ten players with rating, ADR, KAST and HS %.
- For a Short, work through four steps: plays, style, music, text and graphics. Auto: mejores 60 s picks the best minute for you.
- Create the video. Studio opens CS2, records the plays through HLAE and edits them together.
- Open the finished video in Resultados. The publish assistant prepares title, description and tags, and lets you download the MP4 and open YouTube Studio to upload it yourself.
| Section in the app | What it does |
|---|---|
| Shorts | Make vertical Shorts from a demo. |
| Demo completa | Make a full-match video from a demo. Several demos of one best-of are grouped as a series. |
| Resultados | Every video you made, with download and the publish assistant. |
| Clips de stream | Cut moments from a Twitch, YouTube or Kick link or an MP4 into vertical Shorts, with facecam framing. |
| Jugadores | Follow FACEIT players and turn their matches into clips. |
| Replay | Round classification, the replay of every round on the map and tendencies, all derived from the demo. |
| Ajustes | Get this PC ready to record and manage optional connections such as Steam and diagnostics. |
Long videos cover every round from one player's view, with a HUD, team voices, round transitions and optional intro, sponsor and outro clips. Shorts add beat-synced cuts, kill effects and transitions.
A demo goes through three stages. Everything runs on your PC.
| Stage | What happens | Code |
|---|---|---|
| Parse | Reads the demo tick by tick and builds a kill plan for the chosen player. | cmd/zv-parser, internal/parser |
| Record | Launches CS2 with HLAE and captures each play from the player's view. Windows only. | cmd/zv-recorder, internal/recording |
| Edit | Analyses the music for beats, then renders the video and the publish pack with FFmpeg. | cmd/zv-rhythm, cmd/zv-editor, internal/editor |
zv-orchestrator queues and runs these jobs behind a local API. The Next.js UI in web/ talks to it, and the Electron shell in desktop/ bundles both into the installer.
After a source build, bin\zv.exe runs the same pipeline from the command line:
.\bin\zv.exe short <demo.dem> --prompt "<instruction>" --output-format short-9x16Run .\bin\zv.exe --help for the other commands, or zv workflows list through the same binary for the named workflows.
Requirements: Go 1.26.10 (from go.mod), Node 24, pnpm 11.22.0, and Steam with CS2 for capture.

Use demo files from outside the repo. scripts/local-studio.ps1 is an alternative that runs the orchestrator and the web UI without Electron.

pnpm --dir desktop run typecheck && pnpm --dir desktop run lint && pnpm --dir desktop run test:unitmake test runs the Go tests and zv check; make build builds the binaries. A few Full Demo editor tests depend on the FFmpeg version, and Studio ships FFmpeg 8.1.2. There is no CI on pushes or pull requests; the release workflow runs the checks before it publishes, so run the checks for what you touched before you push. AGENTS.md describes how to verify a change by hand in the real app.
Bump desktop/package.json and landing/lib/site.ts, commit chore(release): prepare Studio X.Y.Z, then push an annotated tag vX.Y.Z. The desktop-release.yml workflow builds the unsigned Windows installer and publishes the GitHub Release that the in-app updater reads.
