Getting a "Your Clip Could Not Be Found" Error?

Learn why you might get a 'Your Clip Could Not Be Found' error when adding clips from new YouTube livestreams, and get tips on how to resolve it quickly.

If you're receiving an error message stating that a YouTube clip "could not be found", it might be because the clip is from a newly created livestream. After a livestream ends, YouTube may take 24-48 hours to fully process the video. During this processing period, the clip may not be accessible, leading to this error on StreamLadder.

What Can You Do?

Wait for Processing to Complete

If you've recently added a YouTube clip from a livestream, the best alternative is to wait. YouTube typically needs some time to fully process livestreams. This can take anywhere from a few hours to up to two days. Once processing is complete, the clip should be accessible without any issues.

Check the Clip URL

Ensure that the URL you're using is correct and that the video is publicly accessible on YouTube. Sometimes, a simple typo in the link or privacy settings on the video can lead to errors.

Retry After Some Time

If you're in a rush, you can try again in a few hours. Often, the clip will become available sooner than the full 48 hours.
