Clips

Match video clips and how they work

---

A clip is a video segment capturing a single FTC match — auto and teleop periods included — with metadata attached: teams, scores, match number, event, and timestamps.

Finding clips

Clips are browsable by event, team, match number, or recency. Navigate to an event page to see all clips from a competition, or go to a team page to find every match they have footage for.

Quality

Clips are available in up to 1080p depending on the source stream. Quality is tied to whatever the organizer streamed — Clipfarm doesn't upscale. During periods of high traffic, available resolutions or bandwidth may be limited to maintain performance for all users.

Streaming & Scalability

Clipfarm uses HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) to deliver match footage. HLS breaks video into small segments, allowing us to scale to thousands of concurrent viewers during high-traffic events without overloading our infrastructure.

Because of this segmented delivery format, clips are optimized for browser playback and sharing rather than direct file downloads. If you need to save a clip for offline use, we recommend using the browser's built-in sharing features or third-party tools that support HLS.

Sharing

Each clip has a permanent URL at /clips/[clipId]. You can also copy an embed code to use clips on your own site.

Storage

Clips in the first 30 days are on warm storage and load fast. After that they move to archival — still accessible indefinitely, just with a slightly longer initial load.

Content removal

Clipfarm operates under fair use for educational scouting purposes. To request removal of a clip, email legal@clipfarm.watch with the clip URL and your reason. We review within 7 days.
