Turn Long Cooking Videos into Viral Tutorial Shorts
Food creators and culinary brands can transform full-length recipe videos into scroll-stopping short-form clips — complete with captions and vertical formatting — without touching a timeline editor.
Workflow
Upload Your Full Recipe or Cooking Video
Import your long-form cooking tutorial — whether it's a 20-minute YouTube recipe walkthrough, a cooking class recording, or an episode from your culinary series. OpenClip accepts most common video formats.
AI Identifies the Most Shareable Moments
OpenClip's AI analysis reads your video's transcript to detect the most engaging segments: a surprising ingredient swap, a satisfying plating moment callout, a clever kitchen tip, or a strong hook opening — each scored for viral potential.
Review Clip Candidates Ranked by Engagement Potential
Browse 5–15 clip candidates surfaced by the AI. Each is scored for hook strength and narrative completeness — so a standalone tip clip scores differently from a mid-recipe technique clip. Pick the ones that fit your posting strategy.
Apply Captions That Match Your Brand
Choose from 10 word-level caption presets to match your brand personality — clean and professional with the Default preset, bold and energetic with Pop, or playful with emoji injection enabled. Captions are synced to every spoken word automatically.
Export Vertical Clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Export in 9:16 vertical format for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, or in vertical format for Instagram feed posts. Each exported clip is platform-ready — just download and post.

Before & After
Content Output
BEFORE: A 25-minute recipe video sits on YouTube with no short-form repurposing, missing the TikTok and Reels audience entirely. AFTER: The same video yields 8 vertical clips covering tips, techniques, and the final reveal — posted across all platforms.
Production Time
BEFORE: A creator spends 3 hours manually cutting a recipe video into shorts, adding captions in a separate tool, and resizing for each platform. AFTER: OpenClip produces the same output in under 15 minutes from upload to download.
Caption Accuracy
BEFORE: Auto-captions misread ingredient names and cooking terms, requiring manual correction. AFTER: Word-level captions with high accuracy and a styled preset — ready to post without proofreading every line.
