# OpenClip + WordPress: Turn Videos into Embeddable Short Clips

Generate AI-powered short clips from your long-form videos with OpenClip, then embed them directly on your WordPress pages and posts to keep visitors engaged longer.

WordPress

CMS & Website Builder

## Prerequisites

- An active OpenClip paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Business)
- A WordPress website (self-hosted WordPress.org or WordPress.com Business plan)
- Long-form video content ready to repurpose (podcast, webinar, interview, etc.)
- Admin or Editor access to your WordPress dashboard

## Setup Steps

1

### Upload your long-form video to OpenClip

Log in to OpenClip and upload the podcast episode, webinar, or long video you want to repurpose. OpenClip accepts direct file uploads or a video URL.

2

### Let AI detect viral moments

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

3

### Select and export your clips

Review the suggested clips, choose your preferred caption preset, select your export format (vertical 9:16), and download the finished clips.

4

### Upload clips to your WordPress Media Library

In your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Media > Add New and upload the exported clip files. WordPress natively hosts and streams MP4 files.

5

### Embed clips in posts or pages

Use the WordPress block editor (Gutenberg) to add a Video block and select your uploaded clip. Alternatively, use the embed URL from a platform like YouTube or Vimeo if you've published the clip there first.

6

### Optimize for SEO

Add descriptive titles, captions, and schema markup to your video blocks. Embedding short, engaging clips increases time-on-page—a positive SEO signal.

## Features

### AI Clip Detection

OpenClip's AI engine automatically identifies the most engaging moments from your long videos—no manual scrubbing required before embedding on WordPress.

### Branded Captions

Choose from 10 caption presets to keep your clips on-brand. Captions are baked into the exported file, so they display perfectly in WordPress video blocks without plugins.

### Multiple Export Formats

Export clips in 9:16 vertical to match every WordPress layout—from full-width hero sections to sidebar widgets and blog post embeds.

### Boost Time-on-Page

Short, engaging video clips keep visitors on your WordPress pages longer, reducing bounce rate and sending positive engagement signals to search engines.

### Content Multiplication

One long webinar or podcast episode can yield up to 15 clips—enough to populate your WordPress blog with video content for weeks without filming anything new.

### Platform-Ready Output

Clips exported from OpenClip are already optimized for social platforms. Publish the same files on WordPress and social media simultaneously for maximum reach.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Does OpenClip have a WordPress plugin?

OpenClip does not currently have a dedicated WordPress plugin. The integration works by downloading your finished clips from OpenClip and uploading them to your WordPress Media Library, or embedding clips published to YouTube or Vimeo using WordPress's native embed block.

### What video formats does WordPress accept?

WordPress natively supports MP4 (H.264), M4V, MOV, WMV, AVI, MPG, OGV, 3GP, and 3G2 files. OpenClip exports MP4 files, which are fully compatible with WordPress video blocks.

### Will embedding videos slow down my WordPress site?

Hosting large video files directly on WordPress can impact page load speed. For best performance, consider uploading your OpenClip exports to YouTube or Vimeo first, then using WordPress's embed block to pull the video in—this offloads bandwidth to the video platform.

### How do AI captions help my WordPress SEO?

Search engines cannot watch videos, but they can read text. When you add video transcripts or caption text alongside your embedded clips in WordPress, it gives search engines additional keyword-rich content to index, improving your chances of ranking for relevant queries.

### Can I use OpenClip clips in WooCommerce product pages?

Yes. You can embed short product-focused clips on WooCommerce product pages using the same Video or Embed block in the Gutenberg editor. Short clips demonstrating product features can increase conversion rates significantly.

### How many clips can I generate from one video?

OpenClip typically generates 5–15 clip candidates per long-form video, depending on the video's length and content density. You choose which clips to export and use on your WordPress site.
