How it works
- 1
Paste your livestream link
Drop in the link to a YouTube live broadcast while it is running, or a stream that has just ended. Cliphi starts working through it for you.
- 2
AI clips the best moments as they happen
Cliphi watches the stream, finds the moments worth posting, and crops each one to vertical with whoever is talking kept in frame.
- 3
Post to YouTube Shorts
Each clip comes out vertical and inside the Shorts length limit, with captions on screen and a title and description written for you. Publish from Cliphi or download it.
Clips while you are still live
Cliphi processes the broadcast in real time, so a highlight can be cut and posted before the stream has even ended.
No waiting for the VOD
You do not have to wait for the upload to finish processing. The clips are ready close to when the moment actually happened.
Keeps working after you post
A written title and description help a Short get found in search and on the Shorts shelf, so it can keep pulling views weeks later instead of dying in a day.
Made with Cliphi
Real clips, real reach, published to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook Reels.
Clip your YouTube livestream while it is still running
A livestream is where the moment happens live, but by the time you have ended the broadcast, exported the VOD, and started cutting clips, the moment has cooled off. The audience that was buzzing about it has moved on. The whole advantage of streaming live is speed, and clipping by hand the next day throws that away.
Cliphi keeps the speed. Paste your YouTube livestream link while you are on air and it works through the broadcast in real time, finding the moments worth posting and turning each one into a finished vertical clip. The crop keeps whoever is talking in frame, the captions track the audio, and a music bed gets matched to the moment, all without you stopping the stream to do it.
So a highlight from twenty minutes ago can be cut, captioned, and posted while you are still live. Instead of waiting for the VOD and clipping the next day, you ride the moment while people still care about it, and every clip is a door back to the live channel.
Sized for the Shorts shelf
Shorts has its own rules. A clip has to be vertical and under three minutes, and the first couple of seconds decide whether someone watches or swipes away. Cliphi opens on the moment, keeps the framing tall, and burns in captions so the clip reads even on mute.
YouTube leans on text more than other platforms, so Cliphi writes a title and a description too. That matters because a Short can show up in search and on the shelf long after you post it, and it sits right next to your long-form videos, which makes it an easy way to send people back to the full upload.
Shorts also leans on volume, so a batch of clips from one upload gives you something to post most days without filming anything new. And because the export is clean with no watermark, it does not get quietly pushed down as a repost.
