Generate Your Clips in OpenClip

Upload your long-form video to OpenClip. Let the AI detect viral moments and export your short-form clips in the format you need — vertical (9:16) for Reels and Shorts, for Instagram.

Download the Exported Clips

Once processing is complete, download your AI-captioned clips as MP4 files from the OpenClip dashboard. These clips come ready with word-level captions baked in.

Open Canva and Create a Video Project

Log into Canva and start a new project matching your clip's aspect ratio — use the 'Short Video' template for 9:16, or a custom 1080x1080 canvas for vertical format.

Upload Your OpenClip Export to Canva

In Canva, navigate to Uploads and drag your downloaded MP4 into the panel. Add it to your canvas as the base video layer.

Add Branded Elements and Graphics

Layer Canva's design elements — logos, lower-thirds, animated text, brand colors, or outro screens — on top of your clip to create a polished, on-brand final asset.

Export and Publish

Export your finished video from Canva as an MP4 and publish it directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or any platform of your choice.
