News Media + Premiere Pro

OpenClip for News Media × Adobe Premiere Pro

Let OpenClip handle AI-driven clip detection and captions, so your Premiere Pro editors can focus on final polish — not hours of manual log and capture.

News video teams using Adobe Premiere Pro can use OpenClip upstream in their workflow to rapidly identify the best clip moments and generate captioned rough cuts, then import those exports into Premiere Pro for final color, audio finishing, and branded graphics before broadcast or publication.

Setup with Adobe Premiere Pro + OpenClip: AI-Powered Clip Extraction for Pro Editors

Upload Your Long-Form Video to OpenClip

Log into OpenClip and upload your long-form video (podcast, webinar, interview, or YouTube video). OpenClip will analyze the transcript and score every segment for viral potential.

Review AI-Detected Clip Candidates

OpenClip typically surfaces 5–15 clip candidates per video. Review each suggested moment, checking the hook strength score and transcript preview to identify the clips worth developing further.

Export Selected Clips from OpenClip

Export your chosen clips in the desired aspect ratio — 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 if you want to re-edit in Premiere. Clips include baked-in AI captions if enabled.

Import Clips into Adobe Premiere Pro

Open Premiere Pro and create a new project. Use File > Import to bring in your OpenClip MP4 exports. Alternatively, import the original long-form source file if you want to re-edit from the raw footage.

Refine and Polish in Premiere Pro

Use Premiere Pro's timeline to trim any excess frames, adjust color grading, add music or sound effects, layer motion graphics, and apply any effects that elevate the clip beyond what OpenClip's automated export provides.

Export the Final Cut

Use Premiere Pro's Export Media (H.264 preset) to render your final clip. Export at 1080x1920 for vertical formats or your target platform's recommended spec.

Features

AI Pre-Selection

OpenClip's AI analysis surfaces the top clip candidates from long broadcasts before your Premiere Pro editors ever open a timeline.

Faster Log & Capture

Skip hours of manual scrubbing. OpenClip identifies newsworthy moments automatically, cutting your editors' prep time dramatically.

Caption Rough Drafts

Export clips with word-level captions already burned in or use them as a reference transcript when building final caption tracks in Premiere.

Speaker-Tracked Rough Cuts

Automatically cropped and speaker-centered exports give Premiere editors a solid structural starting point for interview and panel segments.

Vertical Short-Form Export

Export 9:16 vertical versions from OpenClip to bring into Premiere Pro for format-specific finishing and branded lower-thirds.

Batch Clip Generation

Process an entire broadcast archive with OpenClip, then selectively pull the best exports into Premiere Pro for professional finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

OpenClip works upstream of Premiere Pro. It identifies the best clip moments and generates rough-cut exports with captions. Your editors then import those into Premiere Pro for final color correction, audio polish, and branded graphics.

Yes. OpenClip exports standard MP4 files that import cleanly into Adobe Premiere Pro via the Media Browser or drag-and-drop.

No — OpenClip handles automated clip detection and AI captions, while Premiere Pro handles full timeline editing, color, audio mixing, and final output. They complement each other.

OpenClip burns captions into the video. For editable caption tracks in Premiere, use OpenClip's captions as a transcript reference and re-create them using Premiere's Speech to Text or caption tools.

By automating clip selection from hours of footage, OpenClip can eliminate a significant portion of manual log-and-capture time — letting editors focus on refinement rather than discovery.

OpenClip exports in 9:16 vertical formats as MP4 files. Your Premiere Pro sequence settings should match whichever format you import.

Yes. Batch processing lets you upload multiple long-form recordings at once, generating clip candidates from all of them before you bring the best into Premiere Pro.
