📋 How to Create and Manage Clip Playlists

A playlist lets you choose exactly which Twitch clips belong together and the order you want them in. Use one for a BRB overlay, a themed highlight collection or a curated website gallery. ✨ Build the selection once, then reuse it in your Clipify.us setup. 💎 Plan limits: Free accounts can use one playlist with up to 50 clips. Pro provides unlimited playlists and playlist clips, plus filtered imports. Your creator's plan applies when an editor helps manage the collection. 📋 Create your playlist 1. Open your Clipify dashboard and select Playlists. 2. Select Add Playlist and open the new playlist. 3. Give it a name you will recognize, such as Minecraft highlights or Tonight's BRB clips. 4. Select Add Clips, choose clips from the available list and add them to the playlist. 5. Drag clips into the order you want. 6. Select Save Playlist to keep your changes. Adding or reordering clips in the editor creates an unsaved draft first. Check the selection and save before leaving the page. 🔎 Import a selection with Pro Filtered imports help you narrow down a larger clip library. You can use rules such as date range, game/category, minimum views, duration, blocked title words and clip-creator allow or block lists. 1. Open the playlist's import controls. 2. Choose your filters. 3. Choose Append or Replace and review the matching clips in the preview. 4. Select the clips you want to use and apply the preview. 5. Save the playlist. - Append: Keeps the existing clips and adds your selected matches without adding the same clip twice. - Replace: Replaces the current draft selection with the clips you selected from the preview. 👀 Check before replacing: Replace can remove clips from the playlist selection. Review the preview and save only when it is the collection you want. The import runs when you request it. It is not a background rule that keeps adding future clips automatically. Run it again when you want a fresh selection. 🎬 Use it in an overlay or gallery In your overlay, choose the playlist source and select the playlist you created. Order playback follows the playlist sequence; other playback modes may choose from that collection differently. A curated gallery can use the same playlist for its clip selection and browsing order. Changes to a saved shared playlist affect the destinations that use it, so check your overlay or gallery after a large edit. 🗑️ Delete carefully Deleting a playlist removes that collection, not the original clips on Twitch. An overlay that used it needs another valid clip source. A curated gallery referencing a deleted playlist loses that reference and is unpublished to avoid leaving a broken public gallery. If you are only removing one clip, remove it from the playlist and save rather than deleting the whole collection. 🛠️ If clips are missing - Check the creator, category and date range. - Widen duration or view filters if they exclude too much. - Review blocked words and clip-creator rules. - Check whether the clip is available in your creator's saved clip list. - If you hit a Free limit, reduce the playlist to 50 clips or review your Pro access. Why new Twitch clips are not showing yet explains the cache and manual refresh. 🤖 Let an AI app help A connected AI app can help find clips and build a playlist through a conversation. You still choose the permissions it has and review changes before approving them. Connect Clipify.us to your AI tools. Next step: Open your playlists.

🖥️ How to Set Up a Self-hosted Clipify Runner

A Clipify Runner runs the streaming work on a computer or server you control. Use it to broadcast a clip overlay or prepare fallback playback when your normal OBS feed disconnects. ✨ It keeps that work separate from the browser tab you use to manage Clipify.us. 💎 Runner access is a separate add-on. It is not automatically included with Pro. You also need access to the overlay you want to broadcast; the creator's normal plan limits still apply. 🖥️ Choose where it should run - Your OBS computer: Convenient, but it cannot keep running if that computer shuts down or loses its connection. - Another computer or server: Separates the Runner from the OBS machine. If both share the same internet connection or power, they still share that failure point. - Hosted hardware: Runs outside your local setup. Contact us if you want to discuss a hosted Runner. The host needs a stable connection and must remain awake while you want it to stream. Choose hardware appropriate for your intended resolution and frame rate. 📥 Download the correct Runner 1. Open your Clipify dashboard, select Runners and add or open a Runner. 2. Download the build for the computer that will run it. 3. Choose the correct architecture: Windows, Linux x64 or ARM64, or macOS Intel or Apple Silicon, as offered by the dashboard. 4. Follow the installation steps displayed for that build. On Windows, open the downloaded Runner file. On Linux, make the file executable and run it using the commands shown in the dashboard. On macOS, follow the displayed system approval steps if the downloaded app is blocked. 🔑 Approve enrollment The Runner opens an enrollment prompt in your browser. If it cannot open a browser, use the URL and one-time code it displays on another device. 1. Sign in to the correct Clipify.us account. 2. Approve enrollment for the intended Runner. 3. Return to the dashboard and wait for it to show as online. Do not share enrollment codes or saved credentials. If a code expires, restart the enrollment flow to request a fresh one. 🎬 Configure a stream Once the Runner is connected: 1. Select the overlay you want to use. 2. Choose the stream mode and target platform. 3. Enter the required destination and stream key. Twitch and YouTube targets require a stream key; a custom RTMP target may handle credentials differently. 4. Review the quality settings and select Save Configuration. 5. Select Start when you are ready to broadcast. 6. Check the destination platform and the Runner's reported status. Use Stop when the test is finished. 🔒 Keep your stream key private. It can authorize a broadcast to your channel. Do not include it in screenshots, public messages or a support request. 🛟 Set up Failsafe mode deliberately In Failsafe Mode (Local OBS Fallback), OBS sends its feed to the Runner, and the Runner forwards the stream to your destination. If the OBS feed drops while the Runner remains online, it can switch to the configured overlay playback. Follow the ingest address shown in your dashboard. When OBS and the Runner are on the same computer, the displayed local address applies. If they run on different computers, use the Runner host's reachable address instead of pointing OBS at its own localhost. Test the connection and fallback before relying on it during a stream. A Runner cannot continue broadcasting if its own host loses power or internet, and it cannot prevent a Twitch or destination-platform outage. 🔄 Keep it healthy and up to date The dashboard shows Runner status, the last heartbeat, version and stream information. If an update is available, download the correct current build and follow the dashboard instructions. If a Runner is offline, check that its process is running, the host is awake and the network can reach Clipify.us. If it is online but a stream will not start, check the overlay source, destination configuration and active Runner access. 🐳 Advanced Docker setup The Runner page includes Advanced / Docker Setup. Use the commands for your current Clipify environment rather than copying an old image tag or another account's credentials. Only make the OBS ingest endpoint reachable where you need it. Keep the Runner's credentials and your destination stream key private. Next step: Open your Runners. Related guide: What happens when Pro access ends.
