Clips
Detect. Create. Distribute. Under 3 seconds.
AI finds the moments that matter. One clip becomes 20+ platform-ready exports. Captions, branding, and engagement prediction — all automatic.
From live moment to viral clip
AI detects highlights, creates clips, adds captions, and formats for every platform. You approve and publish.
AI highlight detection
Scores moments by audio energy, chat velocity, viewer spikes, and visual changes. Top segments become clip suggestions automatically.
Real-time clipping
Mark boundaries during live streams. Clips ready for export within 3 seconds. No VOD processing delay required.
Engagement prediction
ML model trained on viral clip patterns predicts which clips will perform best. Rank suggestions by predicted reach.
20+ platform export
Auto-format for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, X, LinkedIn, and 15 more. Platform-specific encoding and metadata.
One-click editing
AI-assisted trim, crop, and enhance. Auto-captions, branded lower thirds, intro/outro sequences. Batch apply across clips.
Batch processing
Generate hundreds of clips from a single stream or VOD library. Queue processes overnight, clips ready by morning.
Four steps from stream to social
Stream or upload
AI analysis runs on any live stream or uploaded VOD. No setup — highlight detection starts automatically when content flows in.
AI finds the moments
The model scores every segment by audio energy, chat spikes, viewer reactions, and scene changes. Top moments surface as clip candidates with confidence scores.
Review and customize
Approve, trim, or adjust suggested clips. Add branding, captions, and intro/outro. Or skip review entirely — auto-publish mode handles everything.
Distribute everywhere
One click sends clips to 20+ platforms in the correct format, aspect ratio, and encoding. Schedule posts or publish immediately.

Frequently asked questions
How does AI highlight detection work?
The model analyzes four signals: audio energy (applause, reactions), chat velocity (message spikes), viewer count changes, and visual scene transitions. Each moment gets a composite score. Top-scoring segments become clip suggestions with ranked confidence.
Can I create clips during a live stream?
Yes. Mark clip boundaries in real-time using the dashboard, hotkey, or API. Clips render within 3 seconds and are immediately available for export. No need to wait for the stream to end.
Does it auto-format for each social platform?
Yes. One clip auto-generates vertical (9:16 for TikTok/Reels/Shorts), square (1:1 for Instagram feed), and widescreen (16:9 for YouTube/X). Each version uses platform-specific encoding, bitrate, and metadata.
Can I add branding to clips?
Configurable watermarks, intro/outro sequences, branded lower thirds, and custom fonts. Set defaults per brand profile or customize per clip. Brand kits save time across teams.
What about captions on clips?
Captions burn in automatically using WAVE Captions (98.5% accuracy). Choose style: standard subtitle, animated word-by-word, or speaker-labeled. Captions boost social engagement by 40% on average.
Can clips be created via API?
Yes. The Clips API supports programmatic clip creation, AI detection triggers, batch processing, and webhook notifications. SDKs available for TypeScript, Python, and Go.
