Issue exporting VODs and Highlights longer than 12 hours to YouTube
When you export VODs or highlights from Twitch to YouTube longer than 12 hours (even over by one second), YouTube abandons the processing of the video. On Twitch's YouTube export menu, it already accounts for non-verified YouTube channels that can only upload at most 15 minute with a setting to section out a whole VOD into 15 minute segments. The limit for every other YouTube channel can upload the maximum of 12 hours. With many Twitch VODs being longer than 12 hours, the export with fail.
With the new limitation of only 100 hours of Highlights and uploads per channel on Twitch, this process of exporting to YouTube to archive your streams outside of Twitch will trip a lot of people up. Many people will delete longer VODs without realizing YouTube can't process it and lose many hours of streams because of it.
By default, please section out YouTube exports every 12 hours of a VOD, and tell the user the reason why in the YouTube export menu itself.

Twitch please let us split VODS into at least an hour segments for YT uploads that would help a lot with this!

If you're sticking to your guns of this asinine new rule you better make it easier on those of us who used highlights in the past to keep everyone in one place, or that "Save forever" button you seem to have lied about now. I want to see an Export all if not Batch Export feature on my video producer page as soon as humanly possible. Individually exporting 300 videos in my personal case, probably way worse for way more, should be regarded as a form of torture. People have jobs. People need to sleep. You've hung a guillotine over our archives of years to DECADES of personal history. The least you can do is give us the tools is give us a hand in this unbearably arduous task you've forced on us.
