You can create clips from active Livepeer Studio streams via the API. A clip is a segment of the stream (e.g. The last N seconds or a chosen range) and is stored as an asset that you can play back like any VOD asset.
Clipping is supported only for livestreams and livestream recordings. Other asset types are not supported for clipping.

How clipping works

  • Clips are created from the viewer’s perspective: e.g. “last 30 seconds” is the last 30 seconds that viewer saw (based on their playhead).
  • You send start and end timestamps (UNIX milliseconds). These typically come from the player (e.g. HLS.js playingDate or the Livepeer Player’s clip trigger).
  • Livepeer creates an asset for the clip. You can poll the asset or listen for the asset.ready webhook to know when the clip is playable.

Create a clip via API

Use the Create Clip API with:
  • playbackId - The active stream’s playback ID.
  • startTime - Start of the clip (UNIX ms, from playhead).
  • endTime - End of the clip (UNIX ms).
  • name - (Optional) Name for the clip asset.
Ensure startTime is at or after the stream start and endTime is not in the future.

Example (Node.js)

const result = await livepeer.stream.createClip({
  playbackId: process.env.PLAYBACK_ID_OF_RUNNING_STREAM,
  startTime: endTime - 30000, // 30 seconds before end
  endTime: Date.now(),
  name: "My clip",
});
// result.asset has the new clip asset; result.task has the task ID

With the Livepeer Player

The Player’s Clip trigger can provide playbackId, startTime, and endTime. Call the Create Clip API from your backend (with the same parameters) and validate input (e.g. Max clip length, rate limiting).

Monitor clip status

  • Polling - Call GET /asset/{assetId} until asset.status is ready.
  • Webhooks - Subscribe to asset.ready (and optionally asset.failed). Use the assetId from the create-clip response to match the event.
  • The clip asset has source.type === "clip" and a sessionId so you can tell it’s a clip.
Clips get source playback first (playable quickly); transcoded renditions are added when processing finishes. Use the clip’s playbackId with the Playback Info API or the Player to play it.

List clips for a stream

Use the Clips for livestream API (by stream or session) to list clips created from a stream.
