[Open MCP hub](/mcp)Worked Example # Webinar MCP Clip Workflow Example Webinars are the highest-effort recordings most teams produce and the least repurposed. This example walks a 45-minute product webinar through an assistant-led MCP session: finding the demo moment, mining the Q&A with transcripts, and shipping LinkedIn-ready clips while the replay email is still being drafted. ## Workflow 1 ### Submit the recording with a lead-gen brief You give the assistant the recording URL and the goal ("3 clips for LinkedIn to drive replay signups, must include the dashboard demo"). It calls submit\_video; a private or expiring platform link that fails with download\_failed gets re-submitted as a local file via create\_upload and complete\_upload. 2 ### Processing runs while you draft the follow-up The assistant polls get\_video\_status every 10 to 15 seconds while OpenClip transcribes and detects moments across the 45 minutes. Webinar audio (one presenter, slide narration, live Q&A) processes the same way as any long-form source. 3 ### Mine the Q&A with the transcript Q&A answers are webinar gold but hard to locate by scrubbing. The assistant calls get\_transcript at sentence level, finds where questions start, then narrows with word-level windows to the crisp 40-second answer worth clipping. 4 ### Pick moments that show the product From list\_clips (titles and hooks arrive as untrusted content for your review), you prioritize the live demo beat and the pricing answer over generic intro material, per the brief. Screen-heavy moments deserve a deliberate look: check that the key UI is legible in a vertical crop before approving. 5 ### Render branded, captioned clips render\_clip runs per approved moment with the company caption preset and logo (saved once as a processing agent via create\_agent). The assistant polls get\_render\_status and hands back clip URLs ready for LinkedIn and Shorts. 6 ### Feed the campaign, not just the feed The same clips slot into the replay email, the sales follow-up, and the next webinar's promo. One recording becomes a content package, and get\_usage confirms the whole session cost minutes of processing. ## Key Metrics One 45-minute webinar Source get\_transcript windows Q&A mining 3 branded clips Output ## Features ### Built for screen-share sources Speaker tracking frames the presenter when they are on camera, and deliberate moment review keeps slide-heavy segments legible in vertical formats. ### Q&A becomes findable Transcript windows locate live answers precisely, turning the most spontaneous part of a webinar into the most clippable. ### Demo moments, preserved The product walkthrough is usually the highest-converting minute of the whole event; the brief pins it as a must-include so it never gets skipped. ### Feed-ready without sound Word-level captions carry the pitch on mute, which is how most of LinkedIn will watch it. ### Company branding by default A saved processing agent applies the caption style and logo on every render, so marketing does not retouch clips after the fact. ### One event, one content package Clips feed the replay email, nurture sequences, and event promos, multiplying a recording that used to get watched once. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Do slide-only segments make good clips? Usually not on their own: a static slide in a vertical crop reads as a screenshot. Prefer moments where the presenter is on camera or the demo is moving, and let captions carry the narration. ### How do I find the best Q&A answer fast? Ask the assistant to pull get\_transcript at sentence level and list the questions asked, then window into the strongest answer at word level. It is minutes of tool calls instead of an afternoon of scrubbing. ### The webinar platform link failed. Now what? download\_failed means the URL was not fetchable, which is common with gated or expiring webinar links. Download the recording and submit it through create\_upload and complete\_upload instead. ### How is this different from the podcast example? Podcasts are conversation-first, so the work is picking exchanges. Webinars add slides, a demo, and Q&A, so the work is transcript-guided targeting and checking that screen content survives the vertical crop. ## Repurpose your next webinar in one session Connect OpenClip to your assistant and turn the recording into a content package before the replay email ships.
