How can we improve videos on Twitch?

Video Features: Clips

Categories

Change/Add Categories of/to Clips

It would be nice if you could edit or add a Category to existing Clips on Twitch.

Example No. 1: A lot of my clips on my channel had their category removed, after the game category "Deponia: The Complete Journey" got removed from Twitch. If it would be possible to edit categories on clips, these clips wont be categoryless anymore.

Example No. 2: Imagine a VOD, where someone plays two games. Lets call them "GAMEONE" and "GAMETWO" for orientation. If the VOD is live and a clip is created, it get the category of the game which is currently live. But if the VOD isnt live anymore, and a clip gets created, the category will ALWAYS be GAMEONE, regarding if the category has changed when the streamer was live. So there it would also make sense to change the game category on clips as well.

    The clip generator should check the category at the time of the clip and not the initial category the stream was started with.

    Streamers regularly change categories mid-stream and currently clips are being miscategorized.
  • FEESH commented  ·   ·  Report

    Currently when you change categories after starting stream, any clip made will always be categorized under what you started stream at.
    I would love to have a feature added in the video producer where there is a clip section for editing. Or even just the feature to edit the category in the clips section.

    Yes please. Let us edit the category of clips we made.

    アーカイブから作成されたクリップは例え配信中にAからBというカテゴリに変更されていても、強制的に最初に設定されていたAとして作られてしまいます。
    これではダッシュボードで正確にクリップを検索することが困難になります。
    クリップマネージャーからカテゴリを編集できる機能かクリップを作成した時点でストリーマーが設定したカテゴリとして作成される機能の追加。

    Please allow us to change the clip game!
  • River_Mammoth commented  ·   ·  Report

    PLEASE allow us to change the clip game as well as tag difference games for when we switch over during a stream. This would be awesome to have, especially for new people

    Quite painful not being able to change this

    LET US CHANGE THE CLIP CATEGORY! I Variety stream and my clips keep having the wrong game in the category!
  • ChemicalCottonCandy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Love being able to clip and use it to generate quick content. However, I am a variety streamer. I am very careful to change my game I'm playing when switching over. But when I make a clip from that same VOD where I played two different games, it only shows as me 'playing' the first game I started on stream.

    Would love to categorize clips appropriately and be able to change the 'playing game' after the clip is made if I play multiple different games on stream.

    Just as you all want us to categorize our live streams appropriately, clips shouldn't be any different. Please enable this feature to clips for appropriate categorization needs. Thank you.

    There's so many of my clips that say the wrong game, man.
    Please just let it be an OPTION.
  • DraleZero commented  ·   ·  Report

    VOD will be the first Category used when stream went live.
    All clips created after stream will be the VOD's Category
    As a streamer, a current workaround is to change the Category of the VOD before making a clip. You can even set the Category to one that wasn't used during stream and clip.
    I agree that if the streamer is making their own clip, they should be able to set the Category instead of doing the workaround I mentioned.
  • HexiJosh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why is this STILL not an option?!
  • CH1PSET commented  ·   ·  Report

    When creating clips after a stream as ended from a vod, if there was more than one game played, the game set for the clip is ALWAYS the first game. This should be pulled from the "Chapter". I don't know how many clips I've made with the wrong game listed. And I can't edit that after the clip has been published.

    ADD THIS YESTERDAY TWITCH!

    So I've noticed recently that when I start my stream with 'Just Chatting' to hang out with my community for an hour or so, the rest of my clips, even though I'm no longer streaming on Just Chatting and have physically set my game to something else, will stay at Just Chatting. I think we should either be able to set our game, or clips should update in real time with the rest of the game settings for discoverability purposes!

    It would be amazing if we could change the Category of the clip we're creating, because we sometimes do change it on stream but it doesn't match what the clips are showing
    The only post I've seen about this, is this one https://twitch.uservoice.com/forums/923368-video-features/suggestions/19823908-allow-us-to-set-the-game-of-the-clip

    DATED JULY 2017, c'mon. I guess we're not asking too much
