## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does OpenClip find the best moments in a cooking video?

OpenClip uses AI to analyze your video's transcript, scoring segments by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential — so it can surface a dramatic taste-test moment or a satisfying technique reveal automatically.

### Does the speaker tracking work when I'm moving around the kitchen?

Yes. OpenClip's AI-based face detection dynamically re-crops to keep you centered in the frame, even as you move between the cutting board, stove, and plating station.

### Which caption preset works best for food content?

Many food creators love the Pop or Beast presets for their bold, high-contrast styling — but all 10 presets include emoji injection and word-level highlighting you can customize.

### Can I process multiple full-length recipe videos at once?

Absolutely. OpenClip supports batch processing so you can upload several long-form videos and receive clip candidates for all of them in one go.

### Does OpenClip publish directly to YouTube Shorts?

OpenClip exports clips in the correct 9:16 format ready for Shorts, but you'll upload them to YouTube yourself — OpenClip does not publish directly to social platforms.

### How many Shorts can I get from one 30-minute recipe video?

Typically 5–15 clip candidates per video, depending on how many distinct engaging moments your content contains.
