streamlink
Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams from various services into a video player
This is not necessarily true. I'm not well-versed in YouTube livestream VODs, but with Twitch VODs you can use a CLI/library like streamlink to download only particular segments of a VOD. Since segments are of a consistent length time-wise (typically 10 seconds) and this length is included in the HLS playlist headers, it's a relatively simple matter to download only the segments which fully capture a clip given the start time and duration, and streamlink has built-in options which will do this for you automatically (--hls-start-offset and --hls-duration). You could either stop there and simply concatenate the segments to get a rough approximation of the clip (including all the content + some extra) or you could re-encode to try to more closely replicate the underlying clip.
