OpenClip's AI extracts the key instructional moments and packages them into focused, captioned modules that employees and customers actually watch. education pro ## Scenario An L&D team or course creator has hours of recorded training sessions, onboarding workshops, and instructional webinars — but learners disengage from long, unedited recordings. They need focused 2-5 minute modules that cover specific skills or concepts, complete with captions for accessibility and multi-device viewing. OpenClip's AI automatically identifies the most instructionally complete segments, eliminating the need for a dedicated video editor to manually cut every module. ## Workflow 1 ### Upload your training recordings Upload full-length training sessions, workshop recordings, onboarding presentations, or instructional webinars to OpenClip. 2 ### AI identifies instructional segments OpenClip's AI analyzes your transcript and scores segments by narrative completeness and clarity — surfacing the moments that cover a concept from introduction to conclusion, ideal for training modules. 3 ### Review and select your modules Browse the AI-suggested clip list and identify segments that map to specific learning objectives. Each clip represents a self-contained instructional unit. 4 ### Add accessible captions Apply word-level captions to every module. Captions support learners who are deaf or hard of hearing, non-native speakers, and anyone watching in a quiet environment without headphones. 5 ### Export in the right format Download modules in, 9:16 for mobile microlearning delivery. 6 ### Publish to your learning stack Upload finished modules to your LMS, knowledge base, onboarding portal, or share directly via your internal communication tools. ## Benefits Break 2-hour training recordings into 8-15 focused, digestible modules automatically Captions improve comprehension and make training content ADA-accessible Shorter modules dramatically improve completion rates vs. long unedited recordings Vertical short-form export supports LMS platforms, mobile microlearning, and internal tools Repurpose live training sessions into an evergreen on-demand library Reduce L&D team dependency on video editing contractors for routine content ## Key Metrics 8-15 clips Modules extracted per training session 2-5 minutes Average module length 4-8 hours Editing time saved per training video Up to 60% higher vs. long recordings Learner completion rate improvement ## Features ### Instructional Moment Detection AI identifies segments with strong narrative completeness — finding the moments that cover a concept from start to finish, perfect for standalone training modules. ### Accessibility Captions Word-level captions with 10 style presets ensure training content is accessible to all learners, including those with hearing impairments and non-native speakers. ### Speaker Tracking Automatic face detection keeps instructors centered and clearly visible in every module, even when they move around during delivery. ### Vertical Short-Form Export Export in, 9:16 for mobile microlearning, every format covered. ### Batch Session Processing Upload an entire training curriculum at once.

OpenClip works with any long-form video recording, including employee onboarding sessions, product training webinars, compliance workshops, customer education sessions, instructor-led training recordings, and conference room training captures. ### How does OpenClip decide which segments to extract as training modules? OpenClip's AI analyzes the full transcript and scores each segment by hook strength and narrative completeness. Segments that cover a concept clearly from introduction to conclusion score highest — making them naturally suitable as self-contained training modules. ### Can OpenClip help with ADA compliance for training content? Yes. OpenClip's word-level captions are a critical step toward making training content accessible to learners who are deaf or hard of hearing. Captions also benefit non-native English speakers and learners in noise-sensitive environments. Note that full ADA compliance requires additional considerations beyond captions. ### What video format should I use for LMS platforms? Most LMS platforms (Workday Learning, Docebo, TalentLMS, Cornerstone) accept video, which is OpenClip's standard export for this use case. For mobile-first microlearning tools, 9:16 vertical clips are increasingly common. ### How many modules can I get from a full-day training recording? A full-day training session (6-8 hours) can typically yield 40-80 module candidates. OpenClip processes the entire recording and surfaces the most complete instructional segments. You then select which modules align with your learning objectives. ### Can I use OpenClip to create onboarding videos for new employees? Yes. OpenClip is well-suited for extracting onboarding-specific clips from longer orientation sessions, manager interviews, or company overview webinars. The resulting modules can be organized into a structured onboarding video series. ### Does OpenClip have a manual editing interface to trim clips precisely? OpenClip does not include a timeline or manual editing interface — it is designed for automated clip extraction. The AI handles segment selection and framing. If you need frame-precise trimming, you would do that in a separate video editor after exporting. ### Which plan is recommended for an L&D team with ongoing training needs? The Pro plan suits most L&D teams with regular training recordings to process. Organizations with large training libraries or multiple departments should consider the Business plan, which supports higher volume batch processing. ## Transform Your Training Library into Focused, Engaging Modules Try OpenClip and turn your next training session into a complete on-demand module library — in minutes.
