So I would like to add two new divisions of the website.

Adding past broadcasts into a separate archive and revamping the video uploads functions into a third archive (clips, highlights and uploads). All now placed into separate discoverablity sections of the website.

So at the moment everything is jumbled on the platform and user channels.

From a channel perspective it would be as simple as adding these into separate tabs, eg the about and schedule tabs.
That way you can drive more static video content creators to the platform. A rejig and rebranding of the highlights and clips features could also do that trick.
I would imagine this would start as a second place to post YouTube gaming content like achievement guides, walk-through and game reviews.

The way this would impact the main search bar is that you can categorise what content they are looking for by the meta tags on the tabs and content types. Using a red dot for live streams, a clip board for past streams and a popcorn for videos.

I think that this would be very intuitive to most users.

Making highlights effortless.

-A streamer has an epic gamer moment.
-Lots of viewers clip that section during the stream.
-Twitch automatically creates a 30 second highlight of that section of the stream based on how many people clipped it.
-The streamer can set the threshold of clips to create a highlight (Eg:minimum 20 clips within 10 seconds to create a highlight) or disable it completely.
-highlight shows up on the streamer’s channel page.
-The streamer can go back and edit the highlight to be longer or shorter depending on what they want to show in the highlight. They can also remove it.
-To prevent abusing clips and highlighting the entire stream, the streamer can put a cooldown timer on how often viewers can clip their stream per viewer. (Eg viewer makes a clip, has to wait 10 minutes until they can clip again)

Highlight section on the front page of twitch.

-Have a section on the front page of twitch for popular / following / recommended highlights parallel to the live channels / categories section.
-Popularity of highlight is based on how many people clipped that section of the stream / how many views it gets over time.
-Treat it similar to the trending tab on youtube or hot on reddit.
-Also have a section for highlights from streamers you follow (like the sub box on youtube) and for recommended highlights.
-“Clips we think you’ll like” section would become the recommended highlights section.
-Be able to sort highlights like reddit posts (Eg: sort by hot / top of hour, day, week, new, ect.)

Saving clips overhaul.

-Viewer makes a clip.
-Clip gets saved to their channel under “my clips” section.
-Make it front and center.
-Current clip system is kinda bad because you have to go digging through your creator dashboard to find clips.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I think the navigation of vods is pretty tedious. It would greatly benefit from a more user friendly interaction. The Android app has buttons to revert 10 seconds or skip 30 seconds. This is great, however these buttons aren't accessible enough due to being to small. As Fitts's UI design Law teaches us, the accessibility can be increased by increasing the size of the button. The way YouTube does it is splendid. The left half of the screen is used to navigate backwards and the right to navigate forwards. Then, by simply double tapping in the respective region the user can navigate without needing to find and click rather small buttons.

I think it would be amazing to have a snappy instant replay option whereby, with the touch of a button we could have a pop-up overlay which could be set to play back the last 5-15 seconds (or however much time deemed optimal by the community) of action with playback control.

Clips are a great feature and definitely have their place like when a streamer asks us to clip something or we just want to highlight and share something with chat, but they do take us away from live action by opening in a new tab.

Most of the time I am not interested in taking time messing around with setting up a clip to share, I just want to be able to see and review a quick replay of what just happened without being taken away from the action.

I'd like to do 3D videos using twin camera capture. There is a technically 3D compatible mode on most video editors, but unfortunately uses side-by-side-half mode, and though technically compatible, it's only as compatible as Red and Cyan mode, if you don't own the proper glasses, it's watchable, but it's ugly. More than a minute gives people a headache.

You tube has a 3D tag, which activates "playback conversion mode". It's natively stored as 3D side-by-side half, and can be converted to 2D and other 3D formats, so you can it in 3D in the way you currently have, and just as easily watch the same video live in 2D.

2D incompatibility killed 3D Broadcast / Cable TV in 2012, once SIDE-BY-SIDE HALF was proposed for the Super Bowl.
