Explore
Share a highlight publicly — or don't. Nothing leaves your PC unless you say so.
What is Explore?
Explore is an optional public feed at spliceai.net/explore. It’s totally opt-in — if you never click the share button, none of your clips ever touch it. Think of it like posting to r/gamingclips, except the clip lives on Splice’s servers for 14 days and then disappears automatically.
If you don’t want to share anything, you can ignore this section entirely. Splice works the same whether you use Explore or not.
What happens when you post a clip
When you hit Publish on a highlight, two things upload: the trimmed clip file and a thumbnail frame. Both go to Splice’s storage and a public link is created. Anyone with that link — on desktop or in a browser — can watch the clip for the next 14 days.
After 14 days, the clip and its thumbnail are automatically deleted from Splice’s servers. The link stops working and shows a “not available” page. Your local copy on your PC is completely unaffected — it stays in your highlights folder forever.
Views, likes, and comments
View counts only tick up when a signed-in desktop user actually plays the clip. Anonymous visitors to the share page don’t count, and neither does the preview thumbnail loading. The share page does show view, like, and comment counts — but liking, commenting, and reading individual comments are desktop-only. Web visitors can watch the clip and see the stats line; that’s it.
Moderation
Splice has a single set of community rules across every game. If a moderator hides a clip you posted, it quietly disappears from your published list inside Splice — there’s no notification system yet, so the easiest signal is that the clip stops showing up on your profile. If you think a takedown was wrong, the only option in v1 is to re-trim and repost; there’s no appeal flow.
The rules are straightforward: don’t post content that’s abusive, that exposes someone’s personal info, or that violates the game’s ToS. Gameplay clips — even trash talk in text chat — are generally fine.
