# Create short clip

Available in Classic and VPC

Create a short clip as a snapshot of a live channel that is streaming. You can create a short clip only when the channel is in the `READY` or `PUBLISHING` status. You can use the created short clips to quickly serve VOD, and they can also be utilized as short form content. Note the following when creating a short clip:

- You can create a minimum of 100 ms and a maximum of 4 hours.
- You can create a short clip from any point in time using the time machine set in the channel.
  - Set `useDvr` to `true` for [Create channel](/docs/en/media-livestation-channel-channelcreate).
- The created short clip is automatically uploaded as an MP4 file to the Object Storage bucket in NAVER Cloud Platform.

## Request

This section describes the request format. The method and URI are as follows:

| Method | URI |
| --- | --- |
| POST | /api/v2/channels/{channelId}/{snapshotId} |

### Request headers

For information about the headers common to all Live Station APIs, see [Live Station request headers](/docs/en/media-livestation#%EC%9A%94%EC%B2%AD%ED%97%A4%EB%8D%94).

### Request path parameters

You can use the following path parameters with your request:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `channelId` | String | Required | Channel ID - See [Get channel list](/docs/en/media-livestation-channel-channellist). |
| `snapshotId` | String | Required | Snapshot ID - See [Create snapshot](/docs/en/media-livestation-snapshot-snapshotcreate), [Get channel list](/docs/en/media-livestation-channel-channellist), and [Get channel](/docs/en/media-livestation-channel-channelinfo). |

### Request body

You can include the following data in the body of your request:

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `startTime` | Integer | Required | Short clip start point (millisecond) - Start point based on snapshot playback time. - Can be entered from 0. |
| `endTime` | Integer | Required | Short clip end point (millisecond) - End point based on snapshot playback time. - Can be entered from 100 ms of `startTime`. |
| `shortclip` | Object | Required | Short clip storage settings |
| `shortclip.output` | Object | Required | Storage information |
| `shortclip.output.accessControl` | String | Required | Disclosure scope - `PRIVATE` (default) \| `PUBLIC_READ` - `PRIVATE`: Private - `PUBLIC_READ`: Public |
| `shortclip.output.bucketName` | String | Required | Object Storage bucket name - See [ListBuckets](/docs/en/storage-objectstorage-listbuckets). |
| `shortclip.output.filePath` | String | Required | Detailed storage path - Start with `/`. |

              Note

              

When entering a request body, see the following:

- Enter `startTime` and `endTime` as the relative playback time of the snapshot.  

Example: A request with `startTime=0`, `endTime=1500` creates a short clip of the snapshot from 0 to 1.5 seconds (00:00:000 to 00:00:015).
- The values `endTime` - `startTime` cannot exceed the snapshot playback time.
