How to get clips from a live stream while you're live

In a long stream, good things happen every few minutes, but reviewing all of it afterwards takes hours. Live Clipper does that work while you're live: it listens to the stream on our servers, detects the moments that stand out and generates vertical clips with captions.

What it listens for

The detector compares every second with what is normal in THAT stream, not with a fixed threshold. A shout in a calm talk show stands out; the same volume in a match with a full stadium doesn't. The signals you can enable are:

• Volume peaks and shouting.
• Sustained surges: the crowd or the commentator getting fired up for several seconds.
• Laughter and funny moments.
• Chat activity.
• Standout quotes, arguments and conversations, from each block's transcript.

Each signal has a priority. Priority breaks ties between similar moments, but it doesn't turn an ordinary moment into an exceptional one.

A well-spread hourly quota

If you limit clips per hour, the obvious approach would be to fill the quota first come, first served. The problem is that the start of a stream is usually intense and would use up the quota in the first minutes. So Live Clipper spreads the quota across the hour and keeps room for exceptional moments: if the best thing of the day happens at minute 50, it gets in.

Recommended setup

1. Start with medium sensitivity and a minimum score of 55.
2. Enable volume, shouting and high-excitement moments; add chat if your audience is active.
3. Clip length between 20 and 45 seconds for Shorts and Reels.
4. Pick a template with your brand so every clip comes out ready to publish.

After the first hour, check the inbox: if you get too many weak clips, raise the minimum score; if you're missing moments, raise the sensitivity. Changes apply on the fly, without stopping the stream.
