Prerequisites

  • An active OpenClip account (Starter, Pro, or Business plan)
  • A Threads account connected to your Instagram profile
  • A long-form video at least a few minutes in length to generate clip candidates
  • The Threads mobile app or access to threads.net on desktop

Setup Steps

1

Upload Your Long-Form Video to OpenClip

Log in to OpenClip and upload a podcast, webinar, interview, or any long-form video. OpenClip accepts uploads from your device or via direct URL.

2

Let AI Detect Viral Clip Candidates

OpenClip's AI-powered engine analyzes your transcript and scores segments by hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential, surfacing 5–15 clip candidates.

3

Enable Speaker Tracking and Add Captions

Turn on automatic speaker tracking so the active speaker stays centered, then apply a caption preset. Bold, animated captions perform well on Threads where videos often autoplay without sound.

4

Export in 9:16 Vertical Format

Export your clip in the 9:16 vertical format, which Threads displays natively in its mobile feed. OpenClip renders the file ready for upload.

5

Post the Clip to Threads

Open Threads on your phone or desktop, create a new post, attach the exported video file, write a compelling caption or question to spark conversation, and publish.
