意味

A clip or highlight extracted from a longer video, livestream, or broadcast, often shared as standalone content on YouTube.

Literally meaning 'cutting out,' 切り抜き refers to the practice of extracting interesting, funny, or notable moments from long-form content (especially livestreams) and uploading them as short standalone videos. In Japan, 切り抜きチャンネル (clip channels) are a major part of YouTube culture, especially for VTuber and streamer content. The person who makes clips is called a 切り抜き師 (kirinukishi). Many creators actively encourage 切り抜き as it helps spread their content to new audiences.
