Live Servers & Feeds

Dynamic Clipping allows an organization to take in a live event video via an HLS stream, take clips off that live HLS stream to distribute through workflow

Administrators can configure the live streams on the Admin tab > Live Servers and Feeds screen and configure the social media accounts on the Admin tab > Linked Accounts screen. When these connections are set up, users with permission can get content in front of digital viewers within minutes of real-time. Users can watch events as they unfold with full control of the playhead. They can create clips in the same fashion as library content, tagging them as they go. Clips are posted to social media via a seamless user action, resulting in expanding your audience in near real-time.

For example, a major US broadcasting network that produces an annual live awards show has used this functionality to create clips of the show that were posted to social media to help drive additional traffic over to the live broadcast.
