Sports Teams + Canva

# OpenClip for Sports Teams × Canva

Extract the best moments from game footage with OpenClip, then polish them with Canva's design tools for a fully branded social presence.

Sports teams get the best of both worlds: OpenClip handles the heavy lifting of AI clip detection and speaker-tracked cropping, while Canva lets social media managers layer on team colors, logos, and animated graphics before posting.

## Setup with Canva + OpenClip: Design-Ready Short-Form Clips

1

### Generate Your Clips in OpenClip

Upload your long-form video to OpenClip. Let the AI detect viral moments and export your short-form clips in the format you need — vertical (9:16) for Reels and Shorts, for Instagram.

2

### Download the Exported Clips

Once processing is complete, download your AI-captioned clips as MP4 files from the OpenClip dashboard. These clips come ready with word-level captions baked in.

3

### Open Canva and Create a Video Project

Log into Canva and start a new project matching your clip's aspect ratio — use the 'Short Video' template for 9:16, or a custom 1080x1080 canvas for vertical format.

4

### Upload Your OpenClip Export to Canva

In Canva, navigate to Uploads and drag your downloaded MP4 into the panel. Add it to your canvas as the base video layer.

5

### Add Branded Elements and Graphics

Layer Canva's design elements — logos, lower-thirds, animated text, brand colors, or outro screens — on top of your clip to create a polished, on-brand final asset.

6

### Export and Publish

Export your finished video from Canva as an MP4 and publish it directly to TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, or any platform of your choice.

## Features

### AI Clip Extraction First

Automatic face detection keeps athletes and coaches perfectly centered so your Canva overlay always lands in the right place.

### Vertical Short-Form Export

OpenClip exports 9:16 vertical format — match whatever canvas size your Canva template uses.

Process a whole week of games at once and hand a batch of polished clips to your Canva designer in one go.

### Viral Moment Scoring

AI ranks clips by engagement potential so your design team always starts with the highest-value content.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does the OpenClip + Canva workflow actually work?

Use OpenClip to detect and export your best highlight clips, then import those video files into Canva's video editor to add team branding, lower thirds, animated intros, and more.

### Does OpenClip integrate directly with Canva?

Not via a direct API connection — you export clips from OpenClip and import them into Canva as video files. The two tools complement each other in a simple upload-based workflow.

### Should I add captions in OpenClip or Canva?

OpenClip's word-level AI captions are faster and more accurate for dialogue-heavy content. For graphic text overlays and animated titles, Canva is the better choice. Many teams use OpenClip captions and add Canva branding on top.

### What export format should I use from OpenClip to import into Canva?

Export MP4 files from OpenClip in the aspect ratio that matches your Canva template — 9:16 for Reels/Shorts.

### Can we process multiple game videos at once?

Yes. OpenClip's batch processing lets you upload multiple long-form videos simultaneously, generating 5–15 clip candidates per video for your design team to work with.
