Create clips and frames from a stream

Clips & frames lets you save a still frame or cut a short clip from a stream. You can download the result or add it to the stream catalogue’s media assets.

Open Clips & frames

1. Open the stream from Streams.
2. Select More actions, then Clips & frames.
3. Choose a flavour for the editor. The list shows each flavour’s resolution, bitrate, codec, type, flavour type, and size. The source flavour is listed first. Select the flavour you want to use.
4. Use the Stream link in the editor to return to the stream page.

You need the View VideoEditor permission to open Clips & frames. The preview is available once the stream is Ready.

You can also open a catalogue media asset in the editor by selecting Trim or edit from its row menu.

Save a frame

1. In Clips & frames, play the video and pause at the moment you want to capture.
2. Select Save frame.
3. The frame opens in a dialog and is added to Created files.

Cut a clip

1. Play to the start of the section you want and select Mark in.
2. Play to the end and select Mark out. Alternatively, drag the range below the player. The In and Out times show below the player.
3. Select Preview range to play the selected section. Select Full length to reset the selection to the entire video.
4. Select Create clip. The clip opens in a dialog and is added to Created files.

A clip must be at least 0.04 seconds long.

Download or add a file to media assets

1. Find the frame or clip under Created files.
2. Select Download to save it, or Add to media assets to store it with the stream’s catalogue.
3. Select Remove to remove one file from the list, or Clear list to empty the list.

To add a file to media assets, the stream must be linked to a catalogue. The created-files list lasts only for the current visit to the page, so download or add anything you want to keep before leaving. You cannot add a file after its temporary link has expired.
