Setup with Audacity + OpenClip: Clean Audio to Viral Short-Form Clips

Edit and clean your audio in Audacity

Use Audacity to remove background noise, normalize levels, cut silences, and clean up your podcast, interview, or voiceover audio. A clean audio track significantly improves OpenClip's transcription and AI accuracy.

Export the cleaned audio as MP3 or WAV

Export your finished audio from Audacity using File > Export. Choose MP3 for smaller file sizes or WAV for lossless quality. You'll sync this audio with your video in the next step.

Merge audio with your video

If you recorded video separately, combine your Audacity-cleaned audio with your video footage using a free tool like DaVinci Resolve, iMovie, or Adobe Premiere Pro. Export the combined file as an MP4.

Upload the combined video to OpenClip

Log in to OpenClip and upload your MP4 file. The cleaner your audio from Audacity, the more accurate OpenClip's transcript analysis and viral moment scoring will be.

Review AI-detected clip candidates

OpenClip's AI engine analyzes your transcript and presents 5–15 clip candidates ranked by hook strength and viral potential. Your polished audio quality helps the AI detect natural segment boundaries precisely.

Add captions, choose format, and export

Select a word-level caption preset and your target aspect ratio (9:16 vertical). Download your finished clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, or Twitter/X.
