Yes sadly lots of Streamers now face the issue of Public VODs getting ripped and uploaded under false or fake accounts with AI on other Plattforms, hence kinda forcing especially smaller and medium Streamers to turn on Sub-Only, preventing that Situation for the most part.
Sadly it is still not possible even if Clip Creation is set to Subscribers to allow them to make Clips of Sub-Only VODs in the Past.
And yes i do understand that Clips are always Public, but that is kinda bad excuse: As a Editor i still have the Clip Button on these same VODs and can create them whenever i want, so there is some rights-checking already happening.
Would be nice to add another [opt-in] Checkbox-Setting by the Sub-Only VOD Setting to say "Also allow Subs to Create !!! Public !!! Clips from Sub-Only VODs"
This way the Creators themselfs could choose if they allow it or not instead of Twitch kinda forcing you between "Public VODs" or "any Clips made after Live"

Yes please! I want to keep Sub-only vods, but I want my subs to be able to clip them

I want this exact idea implemented.

OUI SVVVPPPPPPP

yes! This needs to be added! Also Partners have now lost the area where theres an option to turn off or on sub vod achieves -.-

Please fix this. It legit makes no sense as a streamer I am unable to clip my own content in sub only archives.

Please let us turn off and on Sub only VOds again! I requested it be turned off months ago since the button disappeared and still have gotten no reply

I'm facing this issue right now...

We have editors to make clips to use/populate/comm on social media but since we switch to VOD Sub Only they are unable to continue their works even if they are Stream Editors...

It's a terrible lake of access controle for streamers

Editors can still make highlights but can't produce sub only clips...

This non-existent notion of a sub only clip feature is what makes this feature of VOD in Sub Only atrocious

Allow channel owner to make clips of sub only vods. If channel owner chooses to make that public clip it is their choice.

Additionally, as other have said, it would also be a good feature to allow the choice of those clips being for subs or not. But at the very least in the current system, just simply allow the creator to make public clips.

I guess the work around is to temporarily turn off sub only?

You simply can't create clips from sub-only VoDs and get 500 error since all clips are "public", which make sense - in a way.
However sub-only VoDs are pretty common these days, you guys should have the stat for that.
It shouldnt be too hard to mark clips as "sub-only" too, depending on their originating source

VODS THAT ARE SUB ONLY SHOULD ALLOW FOR SUBS AND THE STREAMER TO MAKE CLIPS! THESE CLIPS SHOULD THEN ONLY BE AVAILABLE TO OTHER SUBS! PLEASE FIX THIS BUG. I CAN CURRENTLY MAKE HIGHLIGHTS SO THAT'S AT LEAST GOOD BUT CLIPS ARE MORE MY STYLE

Bumping this - ran into this issue today. I cannot clip my OWN VOD as the streamer if it's in sub only.

I found a tweet that Twitch support mentioned this issue.

According to this, it is the intended behavior.
I don't want to call it a feature if a GraphQL error occurs and a blank tab is opened.

Still, we need an option to create clips even if sub only.

Glad this thread exists, I was wondering why I couldn't clip things from my past vods. Really lame bug tbh.

How has this not been fixed, or at least addressed? Clearly an issue for a lot of people.

For example from LevelUpYourGame, this video is sub only at the time of posting this (less than 24 hours after recorded):
https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1309134153?t=1h45m48s

I cannot make a clip.

MORE, on the youtube vod of this video, I am able to make a clip, for example:
https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxgA1kz-VVpuse_IlpRF8YLzMTzGZ7yMnI

I cannot make a clip of my own channel when the vod is SUB only. Surely that needs to be resolved... Anyone who is a SUB should be able to create a clip from a VOD thats limited to SUBs. This should be a high priority issue

4 years later, still unresolved.

Still a annoying bug today

+1 I aggree with Rizoto. And it would be logic for SUBS to clip on SUB only VOD.
