Pinterest Idea Pins are multi-page, vertical-format pins that support video up to 60 seconds per page. They are Pinterest's answer to short-form video and perform extremely well for tutorials, recipes, DIY projects, and educational content because Pinterest's audience actively searches for actionable ideas. ### What video format does Pinterest Idea Pins require? Pinterest Idea Pins use a 9:16 vertical aspect ratio (1080×1920 pixels), matching the format of TikTok and Instagram Reels. OpenClip exports clips natively in 9:16 with automatic vertical cropping and speaker tracking, so your video fills the screen correctly. ### What type of long-form content works best for Pinterest Idea Pin clips? How-to videos, cooking tutorials, fitness routines, DIY project walkthroughs, product demos, and online course segments all perform exceptionally well as Pinterest Idea Pins. OpenClip is designed to extract these instructional moments automatically from longer recordings. ### How long should a Pinterest Idea Pin video be? Each page of a Pinterest Idea Pin supports up to 60 seconds of video. OpenClip's AI moment detection naturally identifies segments in the 15–60 second range that are narrative-complete, making them ideal for single-page Idea Pins. ### Does OpenClip add captions to Pinterest Idea Pin videos? Yes. OpenClip generates word-level captions synced to every spoken word, which is especially important for Pinterest where many users browse without sound. You can choose from 10 caption style presets to match your brand's visual aesthetic. ### Can I repurpose the same clips for Pinterest and Instagram Reels? Yes. Because both Pinterest Idea Pins and Instagram Reels use the 9:16 vertical format, the same clips exported from OpenClip work on both platforms. This makes OpenClip an efficient hub for cross-platform vertical video repurposing. ### Does OpenClip publish directly to Pinterest? No. OpenClip exports your finished clips as video files that you then upload to Pinterest manually. This keeps you in control of your pin descriptions, board organization, and keyword optimization — all of which are important for Pinterest SEO. ### How many Pinterest Idea Pins can I create from one long video? OpenClip typically extracts 5–15 clip candidates from a single long-form video. For a 60-minute tutorial, this could mean 5–15 individual Idea Pins, each covering a distinct tip or step — enough to populate an entire Pinterest board from one recording. ## Turn Your Tutorials into Pinterest-Ready Idea Pins Upload your long-form how-to video and let OpenClip extract vertical Idea Pin clips with captions — ready to publish in minutes.
