## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I turn my existing YouTube videos into TikToks?

Yes. Paste your YouTube URL (or upload the file) into OpenClip and it will extract the best TikTok-ready clips automatically.

### What makes a good TikTok clip vs a good YouTube Short?

OpenClip's AI scores clips for hook strength — a key factor on TikTok where retention in the first few seconds is critical. The same scoring helps for Shorts too.

### Does OpenClip post directly to TikTok?

No — OpenClip exports your finished clips as downloadable files. You upload them to TikTok manually, giving you full control over captions, hashtags, and scheduling.

### How many TikTok clips can I get from a single YouTube video?

Typically 5–15 clip candidates per video. Each is scored so you can prioritize the strongest ones for TikTok first.

### Will my face stay centered in the vertical frame?

Yes. OpenClip uses AI face detection to dynamically crop and keep the active speaker centered throughout the clip.

### Which caption style works best for TikTok?

Styles like Beast, Pop, and Kendrick are bold and high-contrast — great for TikTok's autoplay environment. You can preview all 10 presets before exporting.

### Is there a limit to how many videos I can process?

Limits depend on your plan (Starter, Pro, or Business). Batch processing is available on higher tiers for creators with large back catalogs.
