Live Clipping

Connect any live stream — RTMP, SRT or HLS — and start clipping key moments before the broadcast even ends. MediaCopilot gives your team the fastest time-to-publish in the industry, turning live signals into ready-to-post clips in seconds.

Clip Live, Publish First

No more waiting for a recording to finish. With Live Clipping you watch the stream in real time, mark the moments that matter — manually or with AI assistance — and export platform-ready clips with subtitles, reframing and metadata already applied.

Whether you're covering breaking news, a live sports match, or a corporate event, Live Clipping collapses the gap between "it happened" and "it's published" to just a few clicks.

From live signal to published clip in five steps.

1
Connect your live source

Paste an RTMP, SRT or HLS URL. MediaCopilot starts ingesting the stream immediately — no transcoding delays.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What protocols does Live Clipping support?
Live Clipping works with RTMP, SRT and HLS streams. Simply paste the URL of your live source and MediaCopilot begins ingesting immediately.
Can I clip moments that already happened in the stream?
Yes. MediaCopilot buffers the full stream timeline, so you can scroll back and clip any moment retroactively — even while the broadcast is still live.
How fast can I publish a clip after cutting it?
Clips are enriched (subtitles, reframing, metadata) in real time as you mark them. Most teams publish within seconds of making the cut.
Does Live Clipping add subtitles automatically?
Yes. Transcription runs on the live stream continuously. When you create a clip, subtitles are already generated and can be exported as burned-in or sidecar files.
What is the difference between Live Clipping and the Video Clipping Tool?
The Video Clipping Tool works with pre-recorded files you upload. Live Clipping connects to a live stream in real time so you can cut and publish while the event is still happening — no need to wait for a recording.
