Instant clipping just got clippier: Now for any VOD asset
Blog post from Mux
Mux has enhanced its video clipping capabilities by enabling instant clipping for all on-demand video assets, allowing users to create clips without additional costs, regardless of the video's origin. Previously available only for live streams and VOD assets from live streams, this feature now supports instant clips using relative time, rather than the absolute timestamps required before. Mux offers two types of clipping: instant clipping, which is cost-effective and does not create new assets, and frame-accurate clipping, which allows for new asset creation but incurs encoding and storage costs. Users can leverage playback modifiers to set start and end times for clips, and Mux Player supports these parameters for seamless integration. For security, Signed Playback URLs can be used to restrict changes to clipping parameters, and images also support relative timing for consistency. Feedback on this upgraded functionality is encouraged.
