Add option to split VOD export to YouTube into 12 hour segments

Currently when exporting a VOD to YouTube you can export it as a single file or split it into 15 minute segments if you YouTube isn't verified. What I am requesting is that an additional option is added to split the export into 12 hour segments since this is the maximum that YouTube will accept.

The reason I would like this is that any of my streams that are over 12 hours are unable to be added to my YouTube unless I split them into 15 minute segments but this just doesn't make any sense.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that does long streams and runs into this issue.

    I don't think personally the feature isn't broken I think the window for it needs to be lower for the feature to be allowed on youtube the youtuber in question mush have 100,000 subscribers to use it and I think that is the man issue no one is mentioning...

    When exporting a VOD longer than 6 hours, YouTube doesn't support "Trim & cut" and "Audio" editing.

    On Twitch it is currently only possible to split a video in to 15 minute segments.

    Lets also have a feature to split in to 3 and 6 hour segments (or user defined).

    We can do this, however the feature is broken, and the processing on YouTube gets abandoned due to being too long. Also the parts get labelled 0/2 and 1/2, instead of 1/2 and 2/2, though that is far less of a problem than the non-processing of the file in the first place. Please fix!

    They should make this option available since Twitch VODs are all temporary. And it makes it just so much better. Then you can basically have everything of your streams on Youtube which is just perfect. I have a lot of 12 hours+ streams which I cant post...

    This would single handedly allow editing and storing vods to be easier. I constantly use this feature but also consistently go over the 12 hour mark. Being able to split into more options would be helpful

    Twitch offers the ability to export VODs over to YouTube, but as I am finding, the option to "Split the video into 15 minute segments" is not functioning correctly. Especially for post-stream editing, having a 4 hour VOD segmented into 16 quarter hour chunks is far easier to work with. And any desync caused by downloading the stream in one video is completely negated.

    Unfortunately, both of my recent streams I exported - with the option to split ticked - only uploaded the full VOD to YouTube, single video, near four hours. And I'm not sure how the splitting process goes exactly, but it suggests the split is supposed to happen on YouTube's end.

    If there was a way the splitting process could happen on the Twitch VOD itself, and export each segment one at a time, it could fix the problem.
