Clip a Session

Clips let you extract segments from a session recording and publish them as standalone videos in your media library.

note

Clipping becomes available approximately 2 minutes after a session starts recording — the recording must reach a minimum length before the Create Clip button activates.

Open the clip editor​

  1. Navigate to Live in the Viostream Console.
  2. Open the live stream and locate the session you want to clip.
  3. Click View Session on the session card.
  4. On the session detail page, click Create Clip under the CLIPS section.

The full-screen clip editor opens with the session recording loaded.

Set the clip range​

  1. Use the timeline scrubber to find your start point.
  2. Click In to mark the beginning of the clip.
  3. Scrub to your end point.
  4. Click Out to mark the end.

The selected range is highlighted on the timeline. You can adjust the handles at any time to refine your selection.

Add clip details​

Fill in the fields on the right-hand panel:

TitleRequired. Name of the clip as it appears in your media library.

Save the clip​

Click Create Clip. The clip is saved to your media library immediately. The editor stays open so you can set a new range and create additional clips from the same session without navigating away.
