Sports Teams + YouTube

Sports teams can paste any YouTube video URL — full game streams, coach interviews, or post-match press conferences — and OpenClip will detect the most engaging moments, apply speaker-tracking crops, and export vertical Shorts ready to grow the team's YouTube audience.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I import game footage directly from YouTube?

Yes — paste any YouTube video URL into OpenClip and it will import and process the content automatically, including full game streams or press conference recordings.

### How does OpenClip decide which moments to clip from a long game video?

OpenClip uses AI to analyze the transcript, scoring each segment by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential — surfacing the moments most likely to perform as Shorts.

### Does it track players and coaches correctly during sideline interviews?

Yes. OpenClip's AI-based speaker tracking detects faces and dynamically crops to whoever is speaking, keeping coaches and athletes properly framed in vertical format.

### How many Shorts can we generate from one game or press conference?

Typically 5-15 clip candidates per video. For a 90-minute game stream or a 30-minute press conference, you can expect multiple strong highlight options.

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

OpenClip exports Shorts-ready 9:16 files — direct publishing to YouTube is not currently supported, so your team uploads them manually.
