Tutorial Moment Detection

OpenClip's AI identifies the clearest instructional segments from long how-to videos, courses, or demos — exactly the type of content that performs on Pinterest's discovery feed.

Vertical 9:16 Export

Pinterest Idea Pins are vertical-first. OpenClip exports all clips in native 9:16 format with automatic speaker tracking to keep your presenter or product perfectly framed.

Styled Word-Level Captions

Pinterest users scroll fast. OpenClip's word-level captions with bold presets like Pop or Sara make your key tips and steps legible at a glance — no sound required.

Searchable Content Segments

OpenClip extracts self-contained, topic-complete clips that work as standalone Idea Pins — each one answering a specific question that Pinterest users are actively searching for.

Batch Pin Creation

Generate 5–15 clip candidates from a single long tutorial or course video, building out a full board of Idea Pin content from one recording session.

Platform-Ready Repurposing

The same vertical clips optimized for Pinterest Idea Pins also export ready for Instagram Reels and TikTok — maximizing reach from a single OpenClip processing run.
