How to clip live video with the Mux API

[@zdenekbouresh205]

Is this frame accurate ? Would the clip start on the exact frame ? if not what is the resolution of clipping ? How close to the given time would it start ? How do key-frames (i frames and their intervals) play a role in this ?

Hey, Phil from Mux here, great questions! It's segment accurate, which means the start and end can be a few seconds away from the times that you request - the exact accuracy depends on the latency mode the live stream was using, as the lower the latency, the smaller the segments we deliver. "Within 4 seconds" would be good as a general guide. We'll always make sure the the times that you request appear in the video though, so it may start early, and end late. We also have an asset-based clipping feature too, which is frame accurate, and creates a new asset if that's what you need. The keyframe/ interval of the inbound stream doesn't affect the accuracy of the clipping, as this feature happens after we perform our encoding, which will insert s at least at the start of every segment. Thanks!
