5 years later and no answer from the stuff. It would be great to enhance the create-clip API. Shouldn't be so hard to add the possibility to add a custom title and other things.

It would be nice to have it added.

5 years later :)

I cannot understand why event after so all this time we still cannot change clips name using API.

The API is very limited currently and at least duration would be nice.

Now that Twitch has added Featured Clips, the ability for 3rd party tools to capture Clips from VODs is even more important than ever. Allow us to capture clips from VODs in order to support more advanced use cases and more precise clipping.

Would be so cool!

I didn't even thought these features aren't implemented yet, I just thought I couldn't find it in the docs. Clip duration and clip name are a must!

I would love to be able to trigger 60 seconds clips with the API, pretty please?

definitely should automatically be 60 seconds!

We need the ability to create Clips from the VOD.
Input could be the start time + end time / or clip length in seconds.

We've build a tool that automatically identifies the best clip-worthy moments for streamers from their VOD... based on the chat engagement, emotes, etc. and right now are unable to actually go ahead and create clips.

We want to automatically create clips for the best moments of the stream (after the stream has ended).

Can't believe this still isn't a thing

Specifying duration would be nice. Sometimes I want 15s, sometimes 30, sometimes 60.

This is a must.

The ability to specify a title and duration are basically an essential part of clipping. The API needs these features too.

This is 100% necessary for creating more dynamic and interesting content. At the moment all we can do is create a 30 second clip with the same title as the stream. At the least we should be able to specify a duration between 30 - 60 seconds. The same goes for a title. Setting things like the offset would be nice as well, but I could see that being a function of the manual edit only.

I think this is a major restriction on automated content creation for streamers.

Not being able to specify the clip's title is a critical flaw. Other points are good too.

Upvote specifically for 1, 2, 3 & 4 (the others are not needed for my use cases)

I just came across a use case for this as well. My wife is coming over from Mixer and I have written a little rest endpoint that triggers a clip, posts the link in chat, and sends it to a discord webhook. Previously we could title the clip via the API so it was easily identifiable in Discord. It would be nice to have that feature over here too.

My stream is based around automated game plays and detection of certain moments such as a player getting multiple kills. When I detect this, I was hoping to create the clip automatically from my application and title it based on which class/player did it, such as Hero name and since some players can take upto around 58 seconds for a penta kill, then i figured the ability to increase the clip time would also be really beneficial.

An automated create/edit API makes sense for my stream because the software i want to enhance runs on the twitch service and it would be nice to auto clip good plays, since its a 24/7 automated stream.
