Let AI detect viral moments
OpenClip's AI-powered engine analyzes your transcript and scores segments by hook strength and viral potential, generating 5–15 clip candidates automatically.
Select and export your clips
Review the suggested clips, choose your preferred caption preset, select your export format (vertical 9:16), and download the finished clips.
Upload clips to your WordPress Media Library
In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Media > Add New and upload the exported clip files. WordPress natively hosts and streams MP4 files.
Embed clips in posts or pages
Use the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) to add a Video block and select your uploaded clip. Alternatively, use the embed URL from a platform like YouTube or Vimeo if you've published the clip there first.
Optimize for SEO
Add descriptive titles, captions, and schema markup to your video blocks. Embedding short, engaging clips increases time-on-page—a positive SEO signal.
