Scenario

Brands, creators, and marketing teams sit on hours of long-form content — webinars, interviews, product demos, event recordings, and YouTube videos — that could be driving daily engagement on TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. The bottleneck isn't content; it's the time and skill required to manually identify clips, crop for vertical formats, add captions, and resize for each platform. OpenClip eliminates that bottleneck entirely with an AI-powered pipeline that handles the full workflow from upload to export.

Workflow

1

Upload any long-form video

Drop in any long-form video — webinar recordings, YouTube videos, interviews, event keynotes, product demos, or raw footage. OpenClip accepts standard video formats and processes files of any length.

2

AI identifies clip-worthy moments

OpenClip's AI engine reads the full video transcript and scores every segment against hook strength, narrative completeness, and viral potential — automatically ranking the top 5-15 moments worth clipping.

3

Dynamic speaker cropping

For any content featuring on-screen speakers, OpenClip's AI face detection tracks the active speaker frame-by-frame, automatically generating a vertically cropped version with the subject always centered.

4

Apply branded captions

Choose from 10 word-level caption presets to match your brand's visual identity. Each preset includes customizable highlighting styles and emoji injection — captions are synced to every spoken word automatically.

5

Export for every platform

Download clips formatted for TikTok (9:16), Instagram Reels (9:16), YouTube Shorts (9:16), LinkedIn, and Twitter/X — all exported in a single run with no re-uploading required.

Clip Scoring & Ranking

Every detected moment is scored and ranked so you know which clips to prioritize — helping you publish the highest-potential content first.

Frequently Asked Questions

OpenClip works with any spoken-word video content — webinars, YouTube videos, podcast recordings, interviews, keynotes, event coverage, product demos, and educational videos all yield strong clip candidates. Content with clear spoken narrative tends to produce the best results.

OpenClip uses AI to analyze the full video transcript and score each segment on three criteria: hook strength (how compelling the opening sentence is), narrative completeness (whether the clip tells a complete thought), and viral potential (emotional resonance, controversy, insight, or humor). Clips are then ranked by overall score.

Yes. AI moment detection and captioning work regardless of whether there's an on-screen speaker. Speaker tracking and dynamic cropping are specifically activated when faces are detected — if no speaker is present, clips are still extracted and captioned using the standard workflow.

Yes. When you select a caption preset, the captions are rendered directly into the exported video file — no separate subtitle file needed. This ensures captions display correctly on every platform, including TikTok and Instagram which don't reliably support external subtitle files.

OpenClip supports batch processing, allowing you to upload and process multiple videos simultaneously. The number of concurrent jobs and total monthly processing volume depends on your plan tier.

OpenClip exports finished clips for download in platform-optimized formats but does not publish directly to social platforms. You retain full control over what you post and when, using your preferred scheduling or native platform tools.

The Starter plan is suitable for occasional clip creation. The Pro plan is recommended for teams and creators publishing regularly, as it includes higher processing volume, batch uploads, and priority processing — important when you need clips turned around quickly for trending topics or campaign launches.
