Clips
Cut a short clip from a VOD, understand the daily and per-video limits, and rename or delete your clips.
A clip is a short cut from a single VOD. Clips are public: they appear on the channel’s Clips tab and under the source video, credited to you, and anyone can watch them without a plan.
Create a clip
Open the clip editor
On a VOD you can watch, select Clip.
Set the range
Play or scrub to the moment you want, then select Start here and End here. Use Back 1s and Forward 1s to fine-tune, and Jump to segment start or end to check the edges.
Name it and create
Enter a title and select Create clip. Processing takes a moment; you can close the page and the clip still finishes. It opens automatically when ready.
Limits
| Limit | What it means |
|---|---|
| Daily clips | How many clips you can create in a rolling 24-hour window: 15 on Basic, 40 on Standard, 100 on Premium. The count frees up 24 hours after each clip. |
| Per video | Each account can make a limited number of clips from one VOD. |
| Length | Each clip has a minimum and maximum length, and the clips from one VOD share a total length budget. |
The editor shows how many clips and how much length you have left. When you hit a limit, it tells you which one and, for the daily limit, when you can clip again. Deleted clips no longer count toward the daily limit.
Rename or delete a clip
- Rename: open the clip’s menu and select Edit title. You can rename a clip within 12 hours of creating it.
- Delete: open the clip’s menu and select Delete. Deleting is available for a limited time after creating the clip and can’t be undone.
Download clips
Any paid plan can download clips. See Sharing and downloads.
Rules for clips
Clips are made from someone else’s broadcast. Creating one doesn’t give you rights in the underlying content, and titles must follow the rules of conduct.
