Export your clip as an MP4 file, upload it to WordPress's Media Library or a video host like Vimeo or YouTube, then embed it using the native Video block or a shortcode in your article. ### What export format works best for WordPress article embeds? For inline editorial embeds, the format works best. For mobile-first or sidebar placements, 9:16 vertical clips perform well. ### Will embedded video clips improve my WordPress SEO? Video content typically increases time-on-page and reduces bounce rates, which are positive signals for search rankings. Adding a transcript or caption file alongside clips also helps. ### Can OpenClip process archive footage for older WordPress articles? Yes. OpenClip's batch processing lets you upload multiple older recordings and generate clip candidates for retroactively enriching your article archive. ### Does OpenClip publish directly to WordPress? No — OpenClip exports MP4 files that you upload manually to WordPress. There is no direct CMS integration or auto-publishing. ### How long are the clips OpenClip extracts? Clips typically range from 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending on the segment. OpenClip scores each by hook strength and narrative completeness so you pick the best fit for your article. ### Can news teams use captions to make clips ADA compliant? OpenClip adds burned-in word-level captions to every clip, which aids accessibility. For full ADA compliance, you may also want to provide a separate caption/transcript file alongside the embed. ## Make Every News Article More Engaging Use OpenClip to create captioned video clips that bring your WordPress journalism to life.
