You can submit YouTube video URLs directly to OpenClip, which imports and processes them automatically. The AI then extracts the strongest short-form clip candidates ready for export as YouTube Shorts. ### Can we handle multiple client YouTube channels at once? Yes. OpenClip's batch processing allows you to upload and process multiple videos from different clients simultaneously, making it efficient to manage large production workflows. ### Does OpenClip replace our existing post-production tools? No — OpenClip complements tools like Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. Production houses typically use their existing NLEs for the main long-form edit, then run the final output through OpenClip to generate Shorts automatically. ### How many YouTube Shorts can we generate from one production? Typically 5–15 clip candidates per video. The AI scores each by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential so you can pick the best ones to deliver to clients. ### Can captions be customized to match different clients' YouTube brand guidelines? Yes. OpenClip offers 10 caption presets with different visual styles, highlighting, and emoji options. You can select a preset that fits each client's aesthetic for consistent on-brand Shorts. ### Does OpenClip publish directly to YouTube? No — OpenClip exports the finished clips as video files. You or your clients then upload them to YouTube Shorts manually. This keeps your production house in control of the publishing workflow. ### How does speaker tracking work for multi-host YouTube productions? OpenClip uses AI-based face detection combined with speaker diarization to identify who is speaking at any moment and dynamically crops the frame to keep that speaker centered throughout the clip. ## Multiply the Value of Every YouTube Production Try OpenClip and start delivering YouTube Shorts alongside every long-form production — with no extra editing time.
