Turn Full Lectures Into Short Educational Clips Automatically

Lecture capture is everywhere — universities record through their AV systems, online educators record through Zoom or a camera at the whiteboard — but the recordings are used almost exactly once, by students cramming before exams and scrubbing blindly for the one explanation they need. Educators sit on hundreds of hours of this material while simultaneously needing short-form content for two very different jobs: study clips that help enrolled students review specific concepts, and promotional clips that show prospective students what the teaching actually feels like. OpenClip serves both from the same upload. The AI transcribes the full lecture, identifies the segments with the highest standalone value — definitions delivered cleanly, worked examples with a beginning and end, the moments where the lecturer says 'this is the key idea' — and cuts them into clips. Word-level captions handle the technical vocabulary that auto-captions elsewhere routinely mangle, and the transcript is reviewable so a TA can fix a domain term once and keep the timing intact. Vertical export means the same explanation that lived in a learning management system can recruit new students on TikTok and Shorts, where study-content audiences are enormous.
