This release introduces a major evolution of Clip Studio, bringing your entire live clipping workflow into a single interface and adding new tools designed to create high-impact vertical video content for social platforms.
These changes reduce friction when moving between monitoring and editing and provide faster ways to find moments, reframe content, and publish polished clips.
What's new in this release:
New Clip Editor UI
Monitor and edit in one unified view. The New Clip Editor is a ground-up redesign of the core Wildmoka experience.
Key features include:
Redesigned user interface
A modern, dark-themed workspace designed for focus and reduced eye strain during long shifts.
How it works: Toolbars sit on the left side of the screen, keeping the central video workspace as large as possible. The right-hand panel organizes into tabs, respectively metadata and publishing options, the clipping timeline, and a revamped captions tab, allowing you to switch between them without losing screen space. A new panel for layout controls appears automatically when you're working with those features, then hide when you're not.
Why this helps: The streamlined interface reduces the number of steps between thought and action. By maximizing the editing workspace and showing contextual controls only when needed, editors can work more quickly during live events, when every second matters.
In-stream clipping
The livestream monitor and editor are now merged, letting you set clip boundaries directly while watching the live feed. You can monitor live feeds and edit clips in a single, unified interface, eliminating navigation lag.
How it works: Set your IN point while watching the live feed, and the OUT point will automatically follow the live playhead until you manually set it. Alternatively, set an OUT point first and the system automatically places your IN point 20 seconds earlier. Use the 'Go Live' toggle to control whether the playhead returns to the live edge after publishing or stays at your current position.
Why this helps: In-stream clipping eliminates the context-switching between monitoring and editing modes. When a breaking moment happens, you can mark it and refine it without losing your place in the live feed. The workflow is optimized for the speed of live digital production and the specific demands of vertical, short-form storytelling.
Text-based editing and subtitling
Edit video by interacting with the transcript. Search for quotes, highlight text, and set clip boundaries instantly.
How it works: Requires AI Text-to-Speech or Translation. Click any word in the Captions panel to jump the playhead to that moment. Select a range of text to automatically set your clip boundaries based on the transcript. Use the eye icon to exclude sentences (like filler words) from captions, or use the pencil icon to edit the transcript text directly. This works identically on both the original transcripts and the translations, maintaining the same frame-accurate precision across languages.
Why this helps: This shifts the editing approach from manual scrubbing to working with the story itself. Editors can locate specific quotes in seconds rather than shuttling through footage, and removing filler or off-topic remarks becomes as simple as editing text in a document.
Scenes and layouts for the vertical editor
Transform 16:9 landscape feeds into professional 9:16 or 1:1 formats using multi-viewport layouts.
How it works: Use the 'Scissor' button or 'S' shortcut to split your clip into scenes. Select any scene to apply layout templates like 'Top/Bottom Split' or 'Fit.' Each scene can have its own layout, and you can manually resize and position viewports within each scene; useful when you need to show two speakers who appear in different areas of the source frame.
Why this helps: Simple cropping can lose important context in a scene. This tool allows you to maintain multiple focal points (such as an interviewer and a guest) within a vertical frame, turning complex post-production work into a template-driven process.
Auto ReZone for Clips
Leverage AI to automatically detect scenes and reframe 16:9 content for vertical delivery.
How it works: The feature can be used for both ingested streams and ingested files. Switch your aspect ratio to 9:16 and click 'Auto Split.' The AI analyzes the video to identify key subjects and movement, then automatically splits the clip into scenes, selects appropriate layout templates, and reframes viewports to keep subjects in frame. You can manually adjust any of the AI's choices using the layout editor.
Why this helps: This automates the most time-intensive part of creating social media versions. Instead of manually reframing every scene, your team can focus on content decisions while the AI handles the technical work of keeping subjects properly framed for vertical viewing.
Note: Auto ReZone for Clips is an optional feature.
Set AutoReZone for Clips in your template
It’s possible to configure the automatic activation of the scene splitting feature as part of the video template. If you set the video aspect ratio to 9:16, then the template will activate AutoReZone for Clips automatically.
How it works: The template editor now contains a new button ‘Auto’ (bottom left corner of the screen) to activate the automatic scene splitting when the template is applied to the clip. Viewing the actual split of scenes in the player ribbon may take a few seconds after the application of the template.
Why this helps: Use this feature to streamline and scale your vertical clip production. In the same video template, configure your graphics, titles, locators and layer thirds according to your brand guidelines for vertical videos, configure the AI-generated metadata if needed, and set the automatic application of AutoReZone for Clips. For every new live cut, applying the template will achieve a big portion of the video editing work automatically, and your editorial team can focus on polishing the storytelling.
Advanced subtitles
Maximize mobile engagement with animated subtitles designed for vertical video.
How it works: Select your desired subtitle style from the CC dropdown menu. Choose from animated effects like 'Karaoke,' 'Color Shift,' or 'Border Pop-up.' The Subtitle Reflow engine automatically adjusts line breaks and font scaling to ensure text remains legible and centered when moving from landscape to vertical.
Why this helps: Many mobile users watch without sound, making subtitles essential for stopping scrolls. These animated subtitle styles in Wildmoka match the visual language users expect on TikTok and Instagram, helping your content fit naturally into social feeds rather than looking like repurposed broadcast footage.
Search for YouTube playlists
In the publish panel, you can publish a video to a specific playlist of your YouTube account. The Playlists dropbox in the YouTube account metadata section is now searchable.
How it works: In the publish panel of the Clip Editor, a new search field allows you to filter the list of playlists of your YouTube account.
Why this helps: Some Wildmoka customers have got hundreds of YouTube playlists, and scrolling down that long list for selecting the one destination playlist you wish to publish to may be a tedious task. This new search field makes it much quicker to select your target destination playlist.
Availability: These updates are available to all Wildmoka users. Live Speech-to-text, Live Translation and Auto ReZone for Clips features require additional licenses. Please contact your account manager for details.
