CrowdClip finds fan-shot moments from your show.

Hundreds of phones. One shared moment.

Some of the best moments from a live show are captured by the crowd, not the artist.

CrowdClip helps artists and creators find fan-shot clips through their authorised Instagram professional accounts, ask the people who filmed them for permission, and collect the original, full-quality files. Consent is recorded at every step. It is an independent, personal project and is not affiliated with Meta or Instagram.


  1. Spotted

    An Instagram user mentions an artist in a Story. CrowdClip notices.

  2. Cleared

    CrowdClip reaches out and asks the person who filmed it for permission. Consent is recorded every time.

  3. Delivered

    The fan uploads the original, full-quality file straight to the artist.


Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of people record the same songs at a concert. I’m usually one of them :). Each clip arrives with no reliable idea of when it was filmed, because phone clocks drift and metadata is often inaccurate. Every clip has one thing in common: the audio. Everyone recorded the same sound from the same PA system.

CrowdClip therefore identifies moments by sound rather than timestamps. Given a single reference recording of the event, every clip can be placed onto a shared timeline by matching audio, and working out which clips captured the same moment becomes simple arithmetic. Those clips can then be grouped, and eventually stitched, remixed, or shown side by side.

Feasibility test, with the audio that was actually used. Press play for the reference recording, or tap a clip to hear the same moment from a second recorder. Cornell, May 1977.
