# Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+ Now Have Short Clip Feeds

Most of the big streaming services now have a vertical, swipeable clip feed in their mobile apps. Netflix and Prime Video call theirs Clips, Disney+ calls it Verts, HBO Max calls it Shorts, and Tubi has had Scenes since 2024. Peacock has announced one too. They all work the same way: short scenes from the service's own catalog, picked for you, with a button to start the full title or save it for later. They are discovery tools, not new places to upload, so creators can't post to them. The one exception is a Disney and TikTok pilot that will bring selected creator videos into Disney+ Verts. For anyone who makes long videos, the lesson is that the vertical clip is now the trailer, on every app people open.

## Which streaming services have a clip feed

This is where things stood on September 7, 2026, taken from each company's own announcement:

| Service | Feed | Launched | Who gets it | What you can do from a clip |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Netflix | Clips | April 30, 2026 | Mobile app, first in nine countries including the US, UK and India | Add to My List, share, keep browsing |
| Prime Video | Clips | May 8, 2026 | Select US customers on iOS, Android and Fire tablets at first, with full availability on those devices promised for summer | Watch, rent or buy, subscribe, save to watchlist, like, share |
| Disney+ | Verts | March 12, 2026 | US subscribers, mobile app | Add to Watchlist, jump into playback |
| HBO Max | HBO Max Shorts | July 28, 2026 | Being tested with select iOS users in the US | Start watching, add to My List |
| Tubi | Scenes | November 21, 2024 | iOS and Android app | Like, save to My List |
| Peacock | Vertical video feed | Announced June 22, 2026 for the summer | Mobile app | Initially focused on clips |

## What each feed actually is

### Netflix Clips

Netflix describes Clips as "a personalized highlight reel that helps you decide what to watch or play next, without endless scrolling." The feed shows "short clips from series, films and specials tailored to your tastes," and you can add a title to My List or share a clip by text or social media straight from the feed ([Netflix](https://about.netflix.com/en/news/introducing-exciting-new-ways-to-find-and-enjoy-your-next-favorite-on-mobile)).

It launched on April 30, 2026 in the US, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines and South Africa as part of a redesigned mobile app. Netflix updated its announcement on August 25, 2026 to say the new design "is now available globally." It also plans to "expand 'Clips' to include podcasts, live programming and collections based on genres." That is a plan, not a live feature, but it's the line video podcasters should watch. Our [video podcast playbook](https://exemplary.ai/blog/video-podcast-playbook-2026) covers the wider shift.

### Prime Video Clips

Amazon calls Clips "a scrollable, short-form video feed" of "short, personalized snippets." It starts as a Clips carousel on the mobile home page, and tapping a clip opens a full-screen vertical feed. It began with NBA highlights on the NBA collection page and has expanded to moments from movies and shows. From any clip you can watch the full title, rent or buy it, subscribe, save it to your watchlist, like it, or share it by messaging apps, social platforms or email ([Amazon](https://press.aboutamazon.com/prime-video/2026/5/prime-video-delivers-a-new-way-to-discover-entertainment-with-clips)).

The May announcement said Clips was "initially rolling out to select customers in the United States on iOS, Android, and Fire tablets," with "full availability across these devices this summer."

### Disney+ Verts

Verts opens from a new Verts icon in the navigation bar of the Disney+ mobile app. Inside, US subscribers "swipe through a stream of scenes and moments from movies and shows on Disney+" and can add a title to their Watchlist or jump directly into playback ([The Walt Disney Company](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/verts-disney-plus/)).

Disney says the format "has driven additional engagement" on ESPN since it launched there in August, and calls Verts "just the start of what will be an ongoing evolution." The future plans it lists include "content from creators that reflects our fandoms." That part has since taken shape (see below).

### HBO Max Shorts

A Shorts icon in the bottom navigation opens a vertical feed of "trailers, clips, and bonus content," customized to each viewer's watch history. The clips come from an in-house AI tool that uses scene-level metadata to suggest "the most compelling, high-impact scenes." HBO Max editors then pick the ones that best capture "jaw dropping moments, pivotal plot twists, and visually stunning sequences" ([Warner Bros. Discovery](https://press.wbd.com/us/media-release/hbo-max-launches-new-ai-powered-mobile-features-enhanced-content-discovery)).

It launched on July 28, 2026 as a test with select iOS users in the US. Warner Bros. Discovery says it will add more devices and markets, and sports content, over time.

### Tubi Scenes and Peacock

Tubi was early. Scenes launched in November 2024 in Tubi's navigation bar on iOS and Android, with "tens of thousands of clips from movies and TV episodes" and buttons to like a clip or save the title to My List ([Tubi](https://corporate.tubitv.com/press/tubi-launches-scenes-a-feature-to-find-your-next-watch/)).

NBCUniversal said in June 2026 that Peacock would "introduce a dedicated vertical video feed, initially focused on clips," alongside a personalized Bravo feed called Your Bravoverse. It also described technology "that automates the conversion of live and on-demand video from horizontal to vertical formats" ([NBCUniversal](https://www.nbcuniversal.com/article/peacock-deepens-mobile-engagement-vertical-video-and-original-microdramas)).

## Can creators get their videos into these feeds?

Mostly, no. Every feed above shows the service's own catalog: trailers, scenes and extras chosen by the streamer's algorithms and editors. None of them has an upload button.

Disney+ is the one exception. On August 5, 2026, Disney and TikTok announced a deal that gives opted-in TikTok creators access to "assets related to hundreds of films and series" from Disney's library, including Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and FX. Participating creators' short videos "will live on both TikTok and in Verts on Disney+." A jointly run Disney Creator Ambassador Program adds rewards, visibility and event access. The deal will "pilot in the US in the coming months with the intention of other markets to follow" ([The Walt Disney Company](https://thewaltdisneycompany.com/news/tiktok-content-sharing-deal/)).

If you make Disney fandom content on TikTok, that's the way in. For everyone else, these feeds compete with your clips for the same scrolling time. They don't distribute them.

## What this means if you make long videos

1. **The clip is the trailer now.** Streamers with bigger libraries than yours are selling full films and series with single scenes. Your long video needs clips that do the same job on YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels.
2. **Vertical is the default on phones.** Full-screen vertical feeds are now in streaming apps as well as social apps. A small 16:9 box in the middle of a 9:16 screen looks out of place in any of them.
3. **Pick moments, not summaries.** Look at what HBO Max's editors pick: twists, big reactions, striking visuals. A clip that works on its own beats a quick recap of the whole episode.
4. **Give every clip a next step.** Each streamer puts "watch" or "add to list" one tap away from the clip. Do the same: end on a reason to watch the full video, and point to it in the caption, a pinned comment or a related-video link.
5. **Let AI find candidates, then choose yourself.** HBO Max's workflow is AI suggests, editors decide. That's also a sensible way to use clipping tools.

## How to cut vertical clips from a long video

1. **Find the moments.** Skim the transcript or the video and mark passages that make sense without context: a reveal, a strong opinion, a funny exchange, one clear how-to step.
2. **Cut to length.** YouTube Shorts can be up to three minutes long for videos uploaded on or after October 15, 2024 ([YouTube Help](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877)). Up to three minutes is a ceiling, not a target. Cut until nothing is left that viewers would skip.
3. **Reframe to 9:16.** Keep the speaker or the action in frame. Use a split layout when two people talk. Our guide to [converting horizontal video to vertical](https://exemplary.ai/blog/convert-horizontal-video-to-vertical) covers the options.
4. **Add captions.** Captions keep a clip readable when the sound is off and make the hook clear in the first second.
5. **Open with the setup, not the logo.** The first line should make people want the payoff.
6. **End with the next step.** Tell viewers where the full video is.

If you'd rather not cut every clip by hand, Exemplary AI (our product) does the first pass. [AI Clips](https://exemplary.ai/ai-clips) takes a video or podcast of 10 minutes or more, from an upload or a YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo or X link, and picks moments that stand on their own. It gives each one a virality score, reframes it to 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9 and adds captions you can edit. You still choose which clips to post, the same way HBO Max's editors do.
