Summary

Mux Video has introduced an "Instant Clipping" feature that allows users to create accurately trimmed media from live streams or on-demand video assets without incurring additional encoding fees. This feature is built on a just-in-time (JIT) video processing architecture, which enables videos to be available almost immediately after upload. Instant clipping can be used for various workflows such as pre-live testing, post-live trimming, and highlight clips. The feature works by trimming the HLS manifests from live streams and VOD assets using Program Date Time (PDT) timestamps without re-encoding any segments.
