Chop Your Streams In Record Time
Grab csv files from your Twitch Stream Markers to use with LosslessCut, a phenomenal open source video cutting tool.
...why does this exist?
I wanted a better way to manage the markers from my streams. I use them as reference points to grab chunks of video for my editors. This app lets you see all the markers trivially as well as exporting them to a CSV file.
My workflow:
- Stream on Twitch, record vod + footage on camera
- When I start the camera recording, I add `/marker OFFSET`, so MarkerThing knows where the camera footage starts
- During stream, create new markers using `/marker (name of marker)` command
- Forgot to mark something? Start the name with a rewind, like `/marker -2 (name of marker)` to go back 2 minutes, or `-30s` for 30 seconds
- Lose track of time? Add the OBS embed to see your current marker and how long it has been going
- End of stream, download CSVs from MarkerThing
- One CSV for the VOD, and one for the camera recording. The camera CSV uses the OFFSET marker, or a start time I set from the player
- Open LosslessCut, drag VOD in, drag CSV in, "export"
- ^ again, with the camera recording + camera CSV
This workflow takes me ~3 minutes, and it enables my team to quickly grab 5+ videos worth of content after every stream.
