OpenClip's AI digs through your archived long-form content and extracts the best moments — ready to publish today. content-creation pro ## Scenario A brand, agency, or creator has months or years of recorded webinars, interviews, events, and podcast episodes sitting in a content library — valuable material that was published once and never touched again. A content audit reveals dozens of high-quality long-form videos that contain evergreen insights, quotable moments, and compelling stories. The challenge is extracting that value without manually re-editing hundreds of hours of footage. ## Workflow 1 ### Audit and select archive videos Identify your highest-value archived long-form videos — past webinars, interviews, keynotes, or podcast recordings — that contain content still relevant to your audience today. 2 ### Batch upload your library Upload multiple archived videos to OpenClip at once using batch processing. There's no need to process videos one at a time — run your entire audit batch simultaneously. 3 ### AI scans for evergreen moments OpenClip's AI transcript analysis identifies the strongest, most clip-worthy segments in each video, scoring them for hook strength, narrative completeness, and shareability. 4 ### Review clip candidates Browse the 5-15 clip candidates generated per video. Select the ones that align with your current content strategy, seasonal campaigns, or platform priorities. 5 ### Apply fresh captions and formatting Update clips with current caption presets to give archived content a fresh, modern look. Word-level captions, emoji injection, and safe-zone positioning make old content feel new. 6 ### Export and redistribute Download clips in 9:16 vertical format and redistribute them across TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X — extending your content's reach far beyond its original publish date. ## Benefits Extract new value from content you've already paid to produce Fill content calendars without recording a single new video Batch processing makes auditing a large library practical, not painful AI identifies moments you may have overlooked in the original edit Modern captions and formatting make archived content feel current Multiply the ROI of every past video production investment ## Key Metrics 5-15 clips Clips per archived video 8-15 per video Hours of editing avoided 5-10x per video Content ROI multiplier 5 platforms Platforms reached per clip ## Features ### Batch Archive Processing Upload your entire content library at once.

There's no restriction on video age. As long as the video file is uploadable and contains clear spoken audio, OpenClip can analyze the transcript and extract clip candidates regardless of when it was recorded. ### Can I really get useful clips from a video that's a year or two old? Yes — especially for evergreen content like tutorials, interviews, expert insights, and educational material. The AI evaluates each segment on its own merits, not the original publish date. ### How many videos can I process in a single content audit batch? OpenClip supports batch processing of multiple videos simultaneously. The exact volume per batch depends on your plan, with higher tiers supporting larger library audits. ### Will clips from old videos look outdated with modern caption styles? Modern word-level captions with trending presets, emoji, and clean formatting can make footage feel significantly more current on social media. The caption style often matters as much as the video's production date. ### Does OpenClip work with vertical video content I already have? OpenClip can process existing vertical video, but it's specifically powerful for converting horizontal long-form footage into vertical and square short-form clips via speaker tracking and smart cropping. ### Can I use a content audit workflow to find clips for specific campaigns? Absolutely. You can upload archive videos related to a specific topic, product, or season and use OpenClip to extract the most relevant moments for a targeted campaign — without needing to record new content. ### What plan do I need to audit a large video library? The Pro plan handles most content audit projects. If you're an agency auditing a client's entire video library or managing multiple brands' archives simultaneously, the Business/Agency tier provides the scale and batch capacity you need. ## Your Video Library Is Worth More Than You Think Try OpenClip and start extracting clips from your existing content archive today.
