Don't choose your live clipping solution before reading this

1. Choose a solution without a true integrated customization studio

Live clipping is not limited to extracting a passage from a video stream. An effective clip must be edited, branded, and adapted to the codes of social platforms.

A common mistake is to choose a solution that simply cuts the live stream, without offering a truly integrated customization environment.

Why is this a problem?

Without an integrated studio, teams quickly find themselves stuck:

• It is not possible to easily add a template, logo, subtitle, or vertical format.
• Requirement to use an external post-production tool
• Disruption of the live workflow and loss of responsiveness

What to demand

A live clipping solution should offer:

• An integrated studio, accessible directly from the platform
• Ready-to-use templates, overlays, and social formats
• Fast customization, tailored to live requirements

2. Accumulate production tools instead of centralizing them

Choosing the wrong solution often leads to a proliferation of tools:
one tool for capturing live content, another for editing, another for subtitles, and then a final one for publishing.

This accumulation creates unnecessary complexity.

Business impacts

In the medium term, this fragmentation generates:

• Additional costs related to licenses
• Cumbersome and inefficient workflows
• Friction between editorial, social, and technical teams

Best practice

It is preferable to choose a live clipping solution capable of centralizing the entire workflow:

• Capture the live stream
• Editing and customization
• Multi-platform publishing

A single tool enables you to gain speed, consistency, and efficiency.

3. Choose a tool for which live clipping is not the core business

Some platforms offer live clipping as an additional feature. This is a strategic mistake that is often underestimated.

When live clipping is not central to the product, it does not benefit from the investments or optimizations necessary for intensive use in newsrooms or social media.

Weak signals to look out for

Certain signs should raise alarm bells:

• Few product developments dedicated to live streaming
• Limited or poorly designed features
• Roadmap focused on other priorities (DAM, VOD, analytics, etc.)

What to prioritize

A solution designed from the outset for live clipping, with:

• A clearly real-time oriented roadmap
• Features designed for media use
• Product expertise focused on speed and live editing

4. Not seeing the live stream continue while clips are being generated

A live broadcast cannot be interrupted. However, some solutions freeze or block the stream while a clip is being created, which is a critical error in a real-life situation.

Why is it blocking?

When the live stream is no longer visible:

• Key moments may be missed
• Teams must decide between following the live broadcast or producing their own content.
• Real-time publishing logic is compromised

The expected standard

A good solution should enable:

• To keep the live stream continuously visible
• To clip while the event is still going on
• To maintain a comprehensive overview of the live broadcast at all times

5. Not being able to post directly to social media

The goal of live clipping is clear: publish quickly, while attention is at its peak.
If publishing requires additional manual steps, the advantage of real time disappears.

The consequences

Without direct broadcasting:

• Files must be exported manually.
• Uploads are multiplied by platform
• Delays are becoming unnecessarily longer.

Must be checked

An effective solution must offer:

• Direct publishing to social media
• Formats adapted to each platform
• A workflow designed for distribution, not just production

6. Underestimating the impact of the solution choice on your teams

The choice of a live clipping tool has a direct impact on the daily work of teams. A poor tool limits autonomy, slows down processes, and causes frustration.

Conversely, a good solution allows social and editorial teams to produce more, faster, and with greater freedom.
