Netflix adds Twitch-like clipping function, complete with an editor

Netflix has upgraded its Moments feature for the mobile app. It already lets users save iconic scenes, but now there’s a simple editor to bring it in line with something like Twitch’s clipping tool. Viewers can use the tool to set start and end points, so they can turn preferred scenes into “full clips to save, relive and share anytime.”

Just tap the “Clip” button when watching something on mobile and the new editor will pop up. Once something is saved, it’ll reside in the “My Netflix” tab. The company says users can “make the clip as long or as short” as they’d like, so there aren’t any time constraints. These clips can be shared on various social media sites and in text messages.

Netflix is launching this alongside a new batch of Wednesday episodes, so maybe there’s something potentially viral in there like that dance scene from the first season. However, that’s not even the most-saved moment on the platform. That honor goes to a song from the recent smash KPop Demon Hunters.

Again, this tool is only available for mobile users. Believe it or not, the most used device to stream Netflix is still the television. Studies indicate that televisions are involved with 60 to 70 percent of streaming on the platform.
