--- name: openclip-docs description: Product documentation for OpenClip (https://openclip.app), the tool that turns long videos into short, vertical, captioned viral clips. Use when a task involves OpenClip features, credits and plans, the clip pipeline, Brands, AI UGC Studio, media tools, social scheduling, the MCP server, or the Integration API. --- # OpenClip Docs ## When to use this skill Use these docs when you need ground truth about how OpenClip works: what a feature does, what something costs in credits, plan limits, or how to connect over MCP / the Integration API. ## How to read the docs - Every page below serves raw Markdown; fetch these URLs directly instead of the HTML pages. - The whole corpus in one file: https://openclip.app/docs/llms-full.txt - To operate OpenClip (submit videos, render clips, generate UGC), connect to the MCP server: https://openclip.app/mcp (OAuth 2.1) or https://openclip.app/mcp/key (bearer token). The product skill bundle with tool workflows is at https://openclip.app/mcp/skill. ## Key facts - The core pipeline is credit-metered: 1 credit = 1 minute of source video processing; AI UGC costs 0.8 credits per second of output. The in-app media tools use free daily quotas instead. - Terminology: a Video is a submitted source; a Viral Moment is an AI-detected clip candidate; a Brand is a saved processing profile; the Content Hub is the per-video workspace. ## Pages -
