Setup Steps
Access your video in Brightcove Studio
Log in to Brightcove Video Cloud Studio and navigate to the Media module to find the long-form video you want to repurpose.
Retrieve the video source file or URL
In Brightcove Studio, open the video details and use the Brightcove CMS API or the 'Download' option (if enabled by your admin) to obtain the original video file or a direct MP4 rendition URL.
Import the video into OpenClip
Log in to OpenClip and either upload the video file directly or paste the direct MP4 URL into the Direct URL import field on the upload screen.
Run AI clip extraction
OpenClip transcribes your video and uses AI to analyze the transcript, scoring segments by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential. Expect 5–15 clip candidates per video.
Configure caption styles and speaker tracking
Select from 10 word-level caption presets and enable AI-powered speaker tracking to ensure each clip automatically centers the right speaker — critical for multi-speaker enterprise content.
Export and distribute your clips
Choose your output format — 9:16 vertical — and download your clips. Distribute them to TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or back into Brightcove as supplementary assets.
