hey bhw, i have been working on methods to automate livestreamer clips by pulling them directly off twitch / kick, i currently have a pipeline that can take top n clips of n period and edits them into a 9:16 clip. selects the most interesting part and gives it an AI caption / description, im sure alot of you have tried this. Is it at all viable? what are the best practices for this type of content?

the automation itself is easy, but the hard part is that it should seem like it is not automated. the hook, the caption, the timing – these are the thing that I would be paying more atention to rather than to the act of actually clipping.

this idea really can be useful yet the scalability of this idea is possible only if you develop your own filter system. gud clip are found everywhere nowaday hence, uniquenes, better hook nd certain edits will be important here.

yeah seems that is the case, alot of the larger clipping channels use this to great effect ive noticed. i think i will become a millionaire if i find a way to automate the vine boom sound effect.

the biggest issue ive had with AI generated captions is the speed of the models that allow you to produce 10 clips in 5 minutes have extremely small context windows, and for engaging hooks you need to have either a backstory or foreknowledge of the current streaming 'scene' which really cant be parsed to these smaller models.

the process seems good. quality rather than quantiity should be the main aim here however. automated clips channels receive many uploads but few repeat visitors since all clips seem alike. if u could consistently find the best parts that r either funny, exciting or surprising then u would definitelly stand out from the crowd.
 
Pointless, you'll just get banned for automation, and reusing other peoples content. How you gonna go far on youtube if you're stealing other peoples content from tik tok? Do you go to youtube to watch real content creators, or do you to spend your time watching regurgitated trash?
 
For the caption problem, you dont need the small model doing everything in one pass. Let it just transcribe/timestamp the clip, then feed that plus a tiny scene context blurb into a bigger model just for the hook. Way cheaper than running the whole thing through gpt4 or whatever.

The scene knowledge part is the real pain like you said. What some of the bigger channels do is maintain a little running notes file per streamer... recent drama, running jokes, that kinda thing, and inject it into the prompt. Doesnt need to be automated, you update it once a week manually and it makes the hooks way less generic.

On the ban stuff @Panther28 mentioned, transformative edits + your own captions usually keeps you fine, plenty of clip channels run for years. Just dont mirror the source 1:1.
 
Yes, it is a viable approach if you prioritize quality over volume. Focus on the most engaging moments, use clean captions, and keep the edits short and attention grabbing. Post consistently across Shorts, TikTok, and Reels, and always make sure you have permission to use the original content.

i find that the concept is a good one however, the most difficult thing about it is not getting the clips, it is making them unique. there r many sites that can do clipping automaticaly nd so the distincttion lies on how well they are selected nd edited how good the captions are nd giving it something unique.

You will quickly get banned if you do this. Both DMCA and automation work against you on YT... If you get caught you will get perma banned.

That's not true at all. I currently do what he is suggesting and get paid monthly by KICK's clipping program. They don't mind you taking other clippers content from tiktok and posting on youtube or instagram either...
 
When you do automated clipping, you will find it difficult to focus on the most engaging moments which is the most important factor of the entire project.
