OpenClip for YouTubers × Adobe Premiere Pro

Export your finished Premiere Pro edit, drop it into OpenClip, and let AI find the best moments to repurpose as YouTube Shorts — no re-editing required.

YouTubers who master-edit in Adobe Premiere Pro can export their finished file, run it through OpenClip for automated short-clip extraction, and optionally pull the AI-generated clips back into Premiere for any final color or audio polish before posting as Shorts.

Setup with Adobe Premiere Pro + OpenClip: AI-Powered Clip Extraction for Pro Editors

1

Upload Your Long-Form Video to OpenClip

Log into OpenClip and upload your long-form video (podcast, webinar, interview, or YouTube video). OpenClip will analyze the transcript and score every segment for viral potential.

2

Review AI-Detected Clip Candidates

OpenClip typically surfaces 5–15 clip candidates per video. Review each suggested moment, checking the hook strength score and transcript preview to identify the clips worth developing further.

3

Export Selected Clips from OpenClip

Export your chosen clips in the desired aspect ratio — 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, 16:9 if you want to re-edit in Premiere. Clips include baked-in AI captions if enabled.

4

Import Clips into Adobe Premiere Pro

Open Premiere Pro and create a new project. Use File > Import to bring in your OpenClip MP4 exports. Alternatively, import the original long-form source file if you want to re-edit from the raw footage.

5

Refine and Polish in Premiere Pro

Use Premiere Pro's timeline to trim any excess frames, adjust color grading, add music or sound effects, layer motion graphics, and apply any effects that elevate the clip beyond what OpenClip's automated export provides.

6

Export the Final Cut

Use Premiere Pro's Export Media (H.264 preset) to render your final clip. Export at 1080x1920 for vertical formats or your target platform's recommended spec.
