Turn a four-hour stream into publishable videos

A four-hour stream is not one video. It is three or four, with a lot of nothing in between. Finding them by scrubbing is the reason most VODs never become anything.

The search runs on every plan. Naming, summaries, and building each cut are part of Um Out Plus.

It is not looking for the loudest parts

Loud is easy to find and it is not the same as watchable. A stretch where you shout at a jump scare for four seconds is not a video.

Four signals decide, and the first carries the most weight. Topic cohesion: does this stretch keep returning to one subject across its whole length? Sustained reactions: energy spread across the block rather than one spike. Audience interaction: how much of the talk is aimed at chat. Speech continuity: a block that is mostly dead air is not an activity, however exciting its few moments are.

Why it will not offer you the same video twice

A long stream returns to the same activity over and over, and two stretches an hour apart can be the same bit. Early versions offered four proposals that turned out to be one video listed four times, which is worse than offering one: it fills every slot with something you have already seen and hides everything else that happened.

So it compares what was actually said in each stretch, weighting words by how rarely they appear in the rest of the recording. On a Minecraft stream the word “minecraft” is in every candidate and tells you nothing; what is left after setting those aside is what genuinely differs.

What you get back

Each proposal comes with a length, a plain summary of what happens in it, and title ideas. The summary is there so you can judge a twenty-minute cut without watching twenty minutes.

Approve the ones you want and each becomes its own sequence in your project bin, with the dead air already trimmed and the off-topic runs removed if you asked for that.

Questions people ask

How long are the videos it makes?

You set the range. The default is 15 to 30 minutes and the slider goes from 10 to 40. That is the length of each finished video, not of the stream.

What if I want different cuts?

Press “Find different cuts” on the results screen. Um Out remembers what it has already shown you and looks past it, so you get the next-best stretches rather than the same ones again.

Does it work on a Twitch or YouTube VOD?

It works on any recording you can put on a Premiere Pro timeline with the dialogue on an audio track. Where the file came from does not matter.

It found nothing. Why?

Usually the recording is shorter than the minimum length you asked for, or no stretch held one subject long enough, which is common on a pure just-chatting stream. Lowering the minimum length is the first thing to try.
