Document this in a simple brief or intake form. Tip: Ask for brand colors and preferred caption style upfront. OpenClip offers 10 caption presets — share a preview of each and let clients choose before you start processing. 2 ### Process the source video with OpenClip Upload the client's long-form video to OpenClip and let the AI Viral Moment Detection analyze the transcript for the most clip-worthy segments. Review the 5–15 candidate clips generated and shortlist the ones that best match the client's goals — educational content, promotional hooks, thought leadership, etc. Tip: Always watch the shortlisted clips before sending them for approval. AI scoring is excellent, but a 30-second human review catches anything that might be off-brand or contextually awkward. 3 ### Apply captions and branding For each approved clip, apply the client's chosen caption preset. OpenClip's word-level captions sync precisely to speech and support 10 customizable presets. Ensure captions are positioned correctly and that any required brand elements are consistent across all deliverables. Tip: Vertical (9:16) clips perform best on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Export versions for LinkedIn and Twitter/X if the client needs those platforms covered too. 4 ### Export clips in the correct formats Use OpenClip's vertical short-form export to generate clips in each required aspect ratio. Name each exported file clearly — include the client name, clip topic, platform, and date in the file name, e.g., 'AcmeCorp\_HookClip\_TikTok\_2024-06-15.mp4'. This prevents confusion during handoff. Tip: Export all formats for a single clip before moving on to the next. It's faster than exporting all TikTok versions first, then going back for LinkedIn versions. 5 ### Package deliverables for handoff Organize exported clips into a clearly labeled folder structure, then upload to a shared cloud storage location (Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar). Group by platform or by clip — whichever matches how the client plans to use them. Include a simple delivery note listing each clip, its intended platform, and any usage notes. Tip: A short delivery note — even just a Google Doc — signals professionalism and reduces back-and-forth questions from clients who aren't sure which file goes where. 6 ### Gather feedback and iterate Share the deliverables with the client and provide a clear, simple way for them to give feedback. Specify what kind of revisions are included in your scope. Common requests include adjusting caption style, trimming a clip slightly, or swapping one clip candidate for another from the batch. Use the original batch in OpenClip to pull alternative candidates if needed. Tip: Set expectations early: explain that OpenClip generates multiple clip candidates and that swapping to an alternative clip is easy — this reduces pressure and makes revision conversations smoother. ## What You'll Achieve A professional, repeatable client delivery workflow that produces polished, platform-ready video clips and builds trust with every handoff. ## Features ### AI Viral Moment Detection AI powered scoring identifies the strongest, most clip-worthy moments from any long-form video ### Word-Level Captions 10 professional caption presets with word-level sync — easy to match any client's brand ### Platform-Ready Vertical Export Export in 9:16 vertical format optimized for every major platform ### Speaker Tracking Automatic face detection keeps the active speaker centered across all exported clips ### Batch Processing Handle multiple client videos simultaneously to scale delivery without scaling effort ### Consistent Quality AI-driven clip selection and captions ensure every deliverable meets a high, repeatable standard ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does OpenClip publish clips directly to my client's social media accounts? No — OpenClip is an export-only platform. You'll download the finished clips and deliver them via shared cloud storage or your preferred method. Your client (or their social media manager) handles publishing. ### What file formats does OpenClip export? OpenClip exports clips as MP4 files, which is the standard format accepted by all major social platforms including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X. ### How do I handle client revisions? OpenClip generates 5–15 clip candidates per video, so alternative clips are usually available without reprocessing. For caption or style changes, simply re-export with the updated settings. Define your revision scope in your client agreement to set clear expectations. ### Can I add my client's logo or brand colors to clips in OpenClip? OpenClip's caption presets are customizable and you can apply consistent styling across all clips. For advanced brand overlays like logos, you may want to add those in a separate step using a simple video tool. ### How many clips should I deliver per video? A common agency standard is 3–5 polished clips per long-form video. OpenClip will surface more candidates than that, giving you the flexibility to choose the strongest ones and keep alternatives in reserve. ### What's the best way to get client feedback on clips? Share clips via a Google Drive folder and ask the client to comment on each file or use a simple feedback form. Tools like Frame.io or Loom can also work well for timestamped video feedback if you want a more structured review process. ### Is OpenClip suitable for agencies managing many clients? Yes — OpenClip's batch processing and vertical short-form export make it well-suited for agency workflows. The Business plan is recommended for high-volume client work. Pair it with a consistent naming convention and cloud storage system for the smoothest multi-client operation. ## Deliver Better Clips to Clients, Faster Try OpenClip and build a repeatable, professional video delivery workflow your clients will love.
