X supports video in tweets. For thread videos tends to take up more screen space in the feed. OpenClip exports both formats so you can choose what works best for your audience. ### How do I turn a long podcast or interview into an X thread? Upload your podcast or interview video to OpenClip. The AI analyzes the transcript, identifies the most engaging moments, and generates clip candidates. You can then use each clip as a separate tweet in a thread, pairing the video with a pull quote or insight as the tweet text. ### What's the maximum video length for X? Standard X accounts can upload videos up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds (140 seconds). OpenClip's AI moment detection extracts narrative-complete segments that typically fall within this limit, making them thread-ready without any manual trimming. ### Should I add captions to videos posted on X? Yes. X videos autoplay without sound in the timeline, so captions dramatically improve viewer retention. OpenClip's word-level captions ensure every key point is readable even when muted, which is especially important for clips shared in threads. ### Can I use OpenClip to repurpose a webinar into an X thread? Yes. Webinars are ideal source material for X threads. OpenClip can extract multiple insight-packed clips from a single webinar recording, each covering a different point or takeaway — perfect for a numbered thread that educates your audience over several tweets. ### Does OpenClip post directly to X? No. OpenClip is an export platform — it does not publish directly to X or any social platform. You download your finished clips and upload them to X yourself, giving you full control over your tweet copy, hashtags, and posting timing. ### How many clips can I get from one video for a thread? OpenClip typically yields 5–15 clip candidates per long-form video. A typical X thread might use 3–7 of those clips, each as its own tweet, turning a single hour-long recording into a week's worth of structured thread content. ### What types of content work best for X video threads? Interviews, podcast conversations, keynote talks, and explainer videos all perform well as X thread clips. Moments with strong opinions, surprising statistics, or clear actionable advice tend to generate the most engagement on X. ## Build Your Next Viral X Thread with AI Upload your long-form video and let OpenClip extract thread-worthy clips in minutes — no editing skills required.
