How to make a video highlight?

To make a video highlight, particularly from a live stream on YouTube using the provided method, you typically use YouTube Studio to mark key moments during the stream and then create a separate video segment from those markers.

Steps to Create a Highlight from a Live Stream on YouTube

Creating a highlight allows you to clip memorable or important moments from your live stream and save them as separate, shorter videos. Here's how you can do it based on the process described:

1. Open YouTube Studio: Navigate to YouTube Studio on your computer.
2. Initiate Creation: From the upper right corner of the Studio dashboard, click the Create button.
3. Start Your Stream: Select either Stream or Manage to begin or manage your live stream event.
4. Add Stream Markers: While your stream is live and something interesting occurs, add a stream marker. You can typically do this by tapping or clicking Insert stream marker from the top right area of your streaming interface. This helps you quickly find key moments later.
5. Create the Highlight: Once your stream is complete or during the stream (depending on the interface), look for an option to create a highlight. From the top, click Create highlight.
6. Trim and Select: A video editor interface will open. Here, you need to trim the video by selecting the specific segment you want to include in your highlight. Adjust the start and end points to define the highlight clip.

After trimming, you can usually save or publish this trimmed segment as a new video on your channel.

Utilizing Stream Markers

Stream markers are a practical tool specifically mentioned in the process. They act like digital bookmarks during your live broadcast. By inserting a stream marker whenever a noteworthy event happens, you make it significantly easier to locate those specific moments later when you are ready to create your highlight video. This saves time and ensures you capture the best parts of your stream accurately.

This method focuses on extracting highlights from live content already being streamed or managed through YouTube Studio.
