How to turn one livestream into a week of social content

AI clips is back—better, smarter, and built to save you time and money

Somewhere in your last stream is a thirty-second highlight that could reach ten thousand new people. The issue is finding it buried in two hours of footage.

Sounds familiar? That's exactly the problem we built AI clips to solve. And after listening to your feedback on the beta, we've rebuilt it from the ground up to actually deliver on that promise.

The new AI clips helps you save time, give your best content a second life, and grow your audience—all without leaving StreamYard. And most importantly, it’s entirely built with your privacy and security in mind: Your videos are only processed when you say so, and your data stays secure every step of the way.

What we mean by better

When we say AI clips is better, we're being specific.

We mean clips that are actually usable, with proper framing, clean edits, and natural start and end points. We mean less time getting there, with fewer clicks and more clips that work on the first try. And we mean lower total cost, both in subscription fees and the hours you're not spending in a separate editing tool.

Other editors pack in more features, and that's great if you want to spend hours tinkering. We took a different approach, and worked to develop a streamlined set of tools designed to get you from recording to published clip as fast and cheaply as possible.

Three key areas of improvements

We've made meaningful upgrades across the board, but these are the three areas we focused most of our attention on:

• Smarter clip generation. A new virality tag highlights clips with the strongest social media potential. Additionally, you can generate multiple sets from the same video, use text prompts to guide the AI toward specific topics, or say "Clip that" during a stream to capture the last thirty seconds on the spot. And we've also rebuilt speaker framing from scratch—no more awkward crops or off-center faces.
• More control over your clips. Add your logo, customize captions (color, font, style, position), and adjust duration or branding even after clips are generated. You can extend or trim with up to sixty seconds of padding on either side.
• Support for longer content. Process videos up to six hours, and publish vertical clips up to three minutes directly to social media platforms.

Built on your feedback

At the end of the day, AI clips is all about giving you leverage. We've been listening closely to the StreamYard community, and three requests came up again and again: better framing of the speaker, smarter highlight selection, and more editing flexibility. This update is our direct response to what you've been asking for.

Creating content takes time and energy, and repurposing it shouldn't require a whole second round of effort. With the new AI clips, you can significantly cut down on the time spent ideating and editing social content. Plus, you can manage everything directly in StreamYard, eliminating the need—and the extra cost—of juggling another editing tool.

With AI clips, you can also give your best work a longer shelf life. Instead of letting great moments disappear after a single broadcast, AI clips helps you identify the most impactful parts of your long-form content and repurpose them into bite-sized, instantly shareable pieces. And let's be honest: Social media reach is often a numbers game. The more you post, the more likely you are to get noticed. By taking the guesswork (and the work-work) out of creating short-form vertical content, you can give your social strategy a serious boost. Attract new viewers with content that represents what you're all about, and re-engage your existing audience with replays of their favorite moments.
