A reaction video template is a content format where a creator records themselves watching and responding to another video, piece of content, or event. The template helps structure and extract the most engaging reaction moments for short-form distribution. ### How does OpenClip identify the best moments in a reaction video? OpenClip uses AI to score transcript segments on hook strength and narrative completeness. For reaction videos, it prioritizes moments where a clear emotional response or commentary creates a self-contained, shareable exchange. ### Can OpenClip handle reaction videos where the speaker moves a lot? Yes. OpenClip's AI-based face detection continuously tracks the speaker across frames and adjusts the crop dynamically, keeping the reactor centered even during animated or expressive moments. ### Which caption style works best for reaction video clips? High-energy styles like Beast, Pop, or Kendrick tend to perform well for reaction content because their bold typography and word-level highlights mirror the excitement and spontaneity typical of reaction videos. ### Can I create reaction clips in both vertical (9:16) format? Yes. OpenClip exports clips in 9:16 vertical for TikTok and YouTube Shorts for Instagram feed and LinkedIn, for standard YouTube uploads — all from the same source video. ### How many reaction clip candidates will I get from one video? Typically 5–15 clip candidates per video. The number depends on the length of the reaction video and how many distinct, high-scoring moments the AI detects. ### Does OpenClip support reaction videos with two on-screen speakers? Yes. OpenClip's multi-speaker tracking can detect and follow two or more faces, dynamically cropping to the active speaker. This is useful for co-reaction or commentary-style formats. ### Is OpenClip free to use for reaction video clips? OpenClip is a paid platform with Starter, Pro, and Business tiers. Each plan includes access to the full clip generation workflow including speaker tracking, captions, and vertical short-form export. ## Your Best Reactions Deserve to Be Seen Upload your reaction video and let OpenClip find, caption, and format your top moments for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts automatically.
