# Clips

> Turn your recorded shows into shareable social media content - without heavy file transfers, wasted storage, or long post-production workflows.

Clips connects directly to your local recordings and lets you browse, select, and export only the moments that matter. No cloud uploads. No duplicate files. Just fast, selective post-production designed for radio broadcasters.

## How It Works

1. **Connect** your local storage (NAS, hard drive, vMix, HyperDeck) as an [Media Server Ingest Sources](/clips/media-server-ingest-sources)
2. **Browse** recordings directly in your browser - streamed from your local infrastructure
3. **Identify** key moments using auto-detected segments and studio event data
4. **Select** the exact in and out points for your clip
5. **Crop** for your target platform (9:16 for TikTok, 1:1 for Instagram, etc.)
6. **Export** only the selected segment - often under 100MB instead of 10GB+ size of the full recording
7. **Publish** your clips to social media
