A good Reels template uses 9:16 vertical format, includes eye-catching captions with safe-zone positioning, and focuses on clips under 90 seconds with strong hooks in the first 3 seconds. OpenClip's AI automatically identifies these viral moments from longer videos. ### Can I customize the caption style for Instagram Reels? Yes. OpenClip provides 10 caption presets (Default, Dan, Dan Reveal, Pop, Mozi, Kendrick, Sara, Lucy, Tayo, Beast) with customizable highlighting, emoji injection, and positioning. All captions are word-level synced for maximum engagement. ### How does speaker tracking work in vertical format? OpenClip uses AI face detection to identify speakers and automatically crops the 16:9 source video to 9:16 vertical format, keeping the active speaker centered. This works with single or multiple speakers without manual adjustment. ### What video length works best for Instagram Reels? Instagram Reels can be up to 90 seconds, but the most viral content is typically 15-45 seconds. OpenClip's AI scores clips by length, hook strength, and completeness to find the optimal duration for engagement. ### Can I create multiple Reels from one long video? Absolutely. OpenClip's batch processing analyzes your entire long-form video and typically generates 5-15 clip candidates, each a potential Reel. You choose which ones to export. ### Do I need to manually edit the clips after export? No manual editing required. OpenClip outputs finished clips with captions, speaker tracking, and proper formatting. Simply download and upload to Instagram. OpenClip does not have a timeline editor—it's designed for zero-touch clip creation. ### What's the difference between this and other caption tools? Unlike tools that only add captions (like Submagic or Captions AI), OpenClip combines AI viral moment detection, speaker face tracking, and word-level captions in one workflow specifically for repurposing long-form to short-form. ### Can I use these templates for other platforms? Yes. The 9:16 vertical format works perfectly for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels. OpenClip also exports in for other platforms. ## Create Viral Reels in Minutes Turn your long-form content into scroll-stopping Instagram Reels with AI-powered clip detection and captions.
