Streamers love when viewers create clips, because it makes it easy to share small stream highlights without having to look through their entire VOD later. These clips are extremely valuable for streamer growth, and it'd be great to reward viewers for creating great clips!

Also it should be up to the streamer to choose which clips get rewarded, not just every clip.

Moments are halfway there, but those can only be created live by either the streamer or their mods, which only rewards viewers for being there rather than for creating clips.

In addition to this, there are some streamers who have a !clip command for viewers to create quick clips via a bot, but those clips are attributed to just the bot. If there was an additional parameter for the API to attached a user ID to it, so that it could be attributed to the user who used !clip, that'd be amazing! And it could show something like Clipped by [User] using [ClipBot].

Alternatively to that, a Quick Clip button built into Twitch that would do the same thing as a !clip command would be great, so that viewers can create a clip without having to leave the stream to set up the clip title and duration. Quick Clip could also make it easy for mobile viewers to make clips!

There are many people who'd be interested in this, as proven by this tweet: https://twitter.com/imzaytri/status/1495458845098872833

Recently I lost at a minimum 58 clips from my channel due to the person who created them no longer being part of my community. This included my most popular clip of all time and many other amazing funny moments.

The reason I am mentioning that is to add context for the biggest flaw in the clip creation system. There is no way to recover these at all so these memories are just gone forever.

My susgestion is to change how this works. Take away people's ability to delete clips that they created for another channel either all together or after X time they cannot delete the clip. Nobody should have power or control over the creators content which this gives. This person had full control over my clips they created for me and therefore my content. I should not have to download every clip of mine just to keep them safe, they should be safe on Twitch. The content creator should have full ownership of any clips made of their channel.

Summary:

If you clip a video, you can make a Collection for it.
A streamer can make Collections of other users clips of their channel.
Other user’s Collections of streamers should be visible on both Streamer and Clippers channel.

A great feature which could be integrated could be to allow Clips to be put into a Collection. This would allow the Streamer to pick out favourites from their community clips and put them into a Collection for others to watch.

Ie, sometimes someone makes a fantastic clip from a VoD that never got high views/was shared but might be hilarious to the streamer. Or making a collection of great clips from a specific game played.

Currently you could download then reupload the clip into a collection, but that defeats the purpose somewhat of including the community and is less time efficient (if that is the aim).

Why this feature would be good:

Burst clips are always known to be enjoyable as content.

Great for reddit, twitter as a form of vine. They are a great way for new viewers to get a “gist” of the channel. For example when I go to a new channel, I will open up their clips and “check them out”.

Sometimes 10 people clip the same thing 10 times and there is no sorting feature.

Allowing Clip Collections to be made is a form of organisational feature.

Channels can appear more busy with less work from the Streamer.

Going through clips of the stream is less time consuming than making highlights from VoDs. Though both are great. Ie, uploading a new collection and tweeting it out feels like a new video that day.

Allowing Clippers to make collections of their favourite streamers can be another organisational tool.

Allowing user’s “Clip Collection 1” to be seen on streamers the Clips page (as similar to current Clips are) s a great way for Clipping to be even more engaging with the Steamer’s community.

Also it also allows streamers to be able to support other people in their network this way. Ie, you may click on the maker of the Collection, someone you may talk to everyday in chat, that you might not have been aware they even stream and you catch them live. Ie, keeping you on twitch for longer.

This feature is currently utilised on youtube as a “steam highlights”.

Example, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=steam+highlights videos. This is extremely popular on youtube. Many viewers of channels will start-up fan-made Streamer youtube channels and upload stream highlights for the Streamer, or the streamer will do it themselves. Example, CatDany https://www.youtube.com/user/Dany2001RU. Finding a way to set up “clip channels” on Twitch is a way to aid in stabilizing this market on the main platform.

Ie, a large amount of a Clipper or Youtube highlights video marker’s fame is directly correlated to the Streamer themselves. If the collection of clips made by the highlight maker is able to be found on the streamer’s video.

A dropdown box within Clips to say “Collections” on both Clipper and Streamers pages.

This is one place to possibly put it. Or a dropdown box on Collections to say “Clips Collections”.

This can also be a great marketing tool for Streamers.

Example; user likes Dark Souls and watches a lot of DS streams. Makes a collection of clips they have made from a range of Streamers on the subject of Dark Souls (calling it Dark Souls Clips, whatever). If you search for Dark Souls and click this collection, you may find other Dark Souls streamers to watch. Ie, bringing notice to possible small channels whom may be good players/cool personalities, or allow Streamers to find other Streamers to do group ups with for holiday specials or multiplayer games to bring focus to both channels.

So you know that one streamer you like to watch that's full time and divides him or her self between more than one game / category and goes 8+ hours each day and has tons of people clipping the channel's content?
I personally think it's a bit frustrating to go digging through their dozens / hundreds of clips just to find that one you are looking for from such a long time ago. I think it would be a great addition if twitch allowed us more filters than just sorting by time created (by default, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days).
If I want to see someone's clips on their channel and want to see what's happening on their channel, I would ideally like the following options to sort by:
Date created.
Chronological order.
sorted by views (already the default)
and the following filters:
"Category / Game"
“Clip title." (Concept: type in the clip's name, clips that match display on your web browser, this can be done with google though, I think. Problem is, what if the clip title is something common like "OMEGALUL".)

Overall this is a quality of life improvement for streamers themselves.
