Questions

Twitch clipping FAQ

The things people ask before applying. If something isn't here, ask in your application and we'll answer it directly.


Do I have to do anything?

Keep streaming. We work from your public Twitch clips and VODs, so you don't send us files or fill anything in after the application.

Whose accounts do the clips go to?

That depends on the arrangement we agree. Clips can go to channels we run, to yours, or to both. Whatever we agree, your own accounts stay yours and you can end it at any time.

How many clips per day?

It depends how much you stream and how much of it is worth cutting. We would rather post one clip that works than four that don't, so we set a schedule with you when you come on.

Do I need a big following?

No. We have taken on small channels and passed on large ones. What matters is whether the moments are there.

What does Twitch clipping cost?

We set that out directly if we take you on, because it depends on volume and where the clips are going. Nothing is charged before you have agreed to it in writing.

How long until I hear back?

Within fourteen days, either way. We don't leave applications sitting open.

Do you clip VODs or only existing Twitch clips?

Both. Existing clips tell us what your community already reacted to, and VODs let us find moments nobody clipped at the time.

Where do the clips get posted?

TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Both take the same vertical 9:16 format, so a clip is finished once and posted to both.

Do I keep ownership of my content?

Yes. It is your stream and it stays yours. We take a licence to cut and post clips of it for as long as we work together, and nothing more.

Can I stop whenever I want?

Yes. Tell us and we stop posting. There is no minimum term and no notice period, and we will tell you what is already scheduled so nothing goes out unexpectedly.

Will clipping hurt my Twitch viewership?

We have not seen it work that way. Short-form clips reach people who were never going to find a six-hour broadcast, and the clip is a trailer for the stream rather than a replacement for it.

What if I don't like a clip you posted?

Tell us and we take it down. We don't run notes rounds before posting, so the trade is that anything you object to afterwards comes down without an argument.
