## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does OpenClip decide which moments from a broadcast to clip?

OpenClip uses AI to analyze the full transcript and score segments by hook strength, narrative completeness, and engagement potential — surfacing the moments most likely to perform as standalone short clips.

### Can OpenClip handle footage with multiple on-screen speakers like a news panel?

Yes. OpenClip's AI-based speaker tracking handles multiple speakers and dynamically crops to whoever is actively speaking at each moment in the clip.

### Are the auto-captions accurate enough for news content?

OpenClip generates word-level captions with high accuracy, making them suitable for news clips. We recommend reviewing captions on clips with specialized terminology or proper nouns before publishing.

### Does OpenClip publish Shorts directly to our YouTube channel?

OpenClip is an export tool — it produces finished clip files that you upload to YouTube yourself. This keeps editorial control with your team before anything goes live.

### How many clips can we get from a 30-minute news broadcast?

Typically 5–15 clip candidates per video, depending on how many distinct newsworthy moments exist in the footage. You choose which candidates to export and publish.

### Can we process multiple broadcasts from the same day in one batch?

Yes. OpenClip supports batch uploads, so your clip desk can process an entire day's broadcast archive simultaneously and review all clip candidates at once.

### What caption styles are available for news clips?

OpenClip offers 10 caption presets with different visual styles. News organizations typically gravitate toward cleaner, more legible presets — though all 10 options are available to match your on-screen branding.
