HOW IT WORKS

The sports realtime clipping API pipeline, end to end.

Exactly what happens between your API call and your webhook. Producer button click to goal on social in ~12 seconds.

Live match running

Broadcast is up on RTMPS / LL-HLS. Stream is running through FastPix Live with the encoder feeding the control room mix.

RTMPS · LL-HLS

Producer cuts

Producer hits 'cut goal' in the control-room UI. fp.live.clip() runs with the in/out timecodes and event metadata.

fp.live.clip()

Brand + captions

Team brand template applied (colors + sponsor + intro card). In-Video AI generates commentary captions in the requested languages.

template applied

Simulcast push

playback_id handed off to the simulcast endpoint. Pushes to TikTok / Reels / X / YouTube Shorts / Facebook / LinkedIn in parallel.

6 destinations

Live on social

Goal clip is live on social with team colors, sponsor overlay, and captions — typically ~12 seconds after the producer button click.

~12 seconds

Producer cut → fp.live.clip() → caption + brand → simulcast.push() → live on social. ~12 seconds wall-clock; the match keeps going.

WHAT TEAMS ARE FIGHTING WITH

Three things every team building this hits.

A goal clip 90 seconds late gets a fraction of the engagement.

Sports social is realtime. The goal clip needs to be on TikTok before the next kickoff. Manual editing kills the engagement window.

Existing platforms don't ship mid-event clipping as a developer API.

The major dev-video APIs treat mid-event clipping as a roadmap item or recording-side feature. Broadcast-class vendors require multi-year contracts. FastPix is the developer-shaped option.

Team / league brand consistency at speed.

Each team's social needs team-themed captions + sponsor overlay. Manual styling can't keep up with 12-second cycles. Brand templates apply automatically.

// 3. simulcast to social in parallel

A WEEK IN THE LIFE

What shipping this on FastPix looks like.

Monday: wire the clipper into the control room. Tuesday: Mbappe scores, the clip is on TikTok in 12 seconds. Friday: realtime clips drive 12× the engagement of post-match recaps.

Theo, an engineer at a sports SaaS, wires the realtime clipper into Oceaniek's control room. fp.live.clip() with team brand template. Simulcast push to 5 social destinations subscribed.

Reese, a producer in the control room, watches the match. Mbappe scores. She hits 'cut goal'. 12 seconds later, the clip is on TikTok + Reels + X with team colors and the league sponsor. The match continues.

Drew, the social engagement lead, reports goal clips published in under 30 seconds get 12× the engagement of post-match highlight packs. Oceaniek's social strategy is entirely realtime now.

Mid-event clipping isn't a feature of the existing platforms. Oceaniek runs goal-to-social on FastPix.

Sports broadcasts need clip-to-social in 12 seconds, not 12 minutes. The major dev-video APIs don't expose mid-event clipping. Broadcast-class platforms are contract-only. FastPix is the developer-shaped option broadcasters can build on.

DEVELOPER FAQ

Sports realtime clipping API: how to ship it.

How do I authenticate with the FastPix API?
Use a workspace API key in the Authorization header. Keys are scoped per workspace and rotatable from the dashboard.
What's the minimum code to upload a video and get a playback URL?
Three lines with the Node SDK: install, create asset, get playback ID. The asset is async-encoded; the playback ID is returned immediately.
How do I subscribe to events from my server?
Create a webhook subscription with the events array. FastPix signs each payload with HMAC; verify the signature in your handler.
How do I add auto-captions in 50+ languages?
Pass features and languages at upload. In-Video AI generates WebVTT per language. The player picks the browser locale by default.
How fast from producer cut to live on TikTok?
About 12 seconds end-to-end. Sub-second on the fp.live.clip() API; the rest is caption + brand template + simulcast fan-out.
Does Mux ship this?
Mux doesn't expose mid-event clipping as a first-class API. Their live offering doesn't have a producer-cut workflow.
Can I apply team-specific brand templates?
Yes. brand_template_id per call. Team colors + league sponsor + intro card per team applied automatically.
Multi-language captions for international fans?
Yes. languages array on the clip call. In-Video AI runs at clip-generation time. ~5 seconds added for multi-language render.
