Clip & Schedule

# OpenClip + Hootsuite: From Long Video to Scheduled Clips

Use OpenClip to extract viral-worthy clips from your long-form videos, then manage and schedule them at scale across every channel with Hootsuite.

Hootsuite

Social Media Management

## Prerequisites

- An active OpenClip account (Starter, Pro, or Business plan)
- A Hootsuite account with social profiles connected
- Long-form source video content (podcasts, webinars, YouTube videos, etc.)
- Social media accounts authorized in Hootsuite (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.)

## Setup Steps

1

### Import your video into OpenClip

Upload a long-form video directly to OpenClip or paste a URL from YouTube or Vimeo. OpenClip works with podcasts, webinars, interviews, live streams, and more.

2

### Review AI-detected viral moments

OpenClip scores each potential clip for hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential. Browse the ranked list and select the clips you want to export.

3

### Customize captions and aspect ratio

Select a caption preset (e.g., Beast, Pop, Kendrick), enable speaker tracking, and choose your export format: 9:16 for vertical

4

### Export and download your clips

Processed clips are available to download as MP4 files with captions burned in and speakers automatically framed. Download all clips from your OpenClip dashboard.

5

### Create new posts in Hootsuite

In Hootsuite's Composer, create a new post and upload your clip files. Hootsuite supports video across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

6

### Schedule across multiple profiles

Write platform-tailored captions, add hashtags, and schedule each clip to the optimal time slot using Hootsuite's calendar. Use AutoSchedule or set manual times per network.

## Features

### AI Viral Moment Detection

OpenClip uses AI to analyze your video transcript and score every potential clip by hook strength and engagement potential — surfacing your best content automatically.

### Hootsuite Analytics

After scheduling with Hootsuite, track views, engagement, and reach across every platform in Hootsuite's unified analytics dashboard to see which clips perform best.

### Speaker-Centered Framing

OpenClip's AI face detection and speaker diarization ensure every clip is automatically cropped to keep the right person in frame — no manual editing needed.

### Short-Form Vertical Format

Export clips in vertical (9:16) format from OpenClip to match every platform in your Hootsuite stack — one upload, every format covered.

### Styled AI Captions

Choose from 10 caption presets with word-level sync and emoji injection. Captions are burned into your MP4 before you upload to Hootsuite, so they're always visible.

### Scalable Content Scheduling

Combine OpenClip's batch processing — which handles multiple videos at once — with Hootsuite's bulk scheduling to keep your content calendar full weeks in advance.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does OpenClip integrate directly with Hootsuite?

Not directly. OpenClip exports finished MP4 clip files that you then upload to Hootsuite's Composer for scheduling. There is no automated API connection between the two tools at this time.

### What social networks can I post clips to through Hootsuite?

Hootsuite supports scheduling video content to Instagram (including Reels), TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest. OpenClip exports in formats compatible with all of these platforms.

### How does OpenClip decide which moments to clip?

OpenClip transcribes your video and uses AI to evaluate each segment on three criteria: hook strength (does it grab attention immediately?), narrative completeness (does it make sense as a standalone clip?), and viral potential (is it shareable?).

### Can agencies use OpenClip and Hootsuite together?

Absolutely. OpenClip's Business plan supports batch processing multiple videos simultaneously, while Hootsuite's team and agency plans let you manage content across many client profiles — making the combination ideal for social media agencies.

### Do I need to add captions in Hootsuite after uploading?

No. OpenClip burns captions directly into the exported video file. When you upload to Hootsuite, the captions are already embedded and will appear on every platform without any additional setup.

### How many clips can I generate per video?

OpenClip typically surfaces 5–15 clip candidates from a single long-form video, depending on the length and content. For a weekly podcast or webinar, this gives you enough clips to fill a full Hootsuite content calendar.

### Is there a video file size limit when uploading to Hootsuite?

Hootsuite enforces platform-specific file size and duration limits for each social network. OpenClip exports compact MP4 files that are optimized for social media, but always check Hootsuite's current limits for your target platforms.

### Can I repurpose the same clip for different platforms using OpenClip?

Yes. OpenClip can export the same clip in multiple aspect ratios — 9:16 for TikTok and Reels — so you can upload tailored versions to each profile in Hootsuite.

## Scale Your Short-Form Video Strategy

Let OpenClip handle the clip creation and Hootsuite handle the scheduling — so you can focus on growing your audience, not editing videos.
