OpenClip's AI finds your most engaging segments and turns them into polished, caption-ready clips for every platform — in minutes, not hours. content-creation pro ## Scenario A podcaster records a weekly 60-90 minute episode with one or more guests and needs to promote it across TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. Manually scrubbing through footage, trimming clips, adding captions, and resizing for each platform takes 6-8 hours per episode — nearly as long as recording itself. OpenClip automates the entire pipeline so podcasters can stay focused on creating great content, not editing it. ## Workflow 1 ### Upload your episode Upload your full podcast video file (MP4, MOV, or similar) directly to OpenClip.

OpenClip typically identifies 5-15 clip-worthy moments per hour of content. For a typical 60-minute episode, you can expect 8-12 ranked clip candidates, though this varies based on how conversationally rich the episode is. ### Does OpenClip work with video podcasts recorded with multiple guests? Yes. OpenClip's speaker diarization and AI face detection handle multiple speakers. The system identifies who is talking at each moment and dynamically crops to keep the active speaker centered in frame. ### Can I use OpenClip for audio-only podcasts? OpenClip is designed for video content. If your podcast is audio-only, you would need to have a video component — such as a talking-head recording or a waveform visualization — for the speaker tracking and visual cropping features to apply. ### What caption styles work best for podcast clips? Popular presets for podcast content include Beast (bold, high-contrast), Mozi (clean and modern), and Pop (energetic with highlights). All 10 presets support word-level sync and emoji injection so you can match your podcast's visual brand. ### Can I process my entire back-catalog of episodes? Yes. OpenClip supports batch processing, so you can upload multiple episodes at once and let the AI work through them simultaneously — ideal for catching up on months of unpublished clips. ### Does OpenClip publish clips directly to social media? OpenClip is an export platform — it creates and downloads your finished clips in platform-optimized formats. Publishing to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn is done through your own accounts or a scheduling tool of your choice. ### What plan is best for a weekly podcast? The Pro plan is recommended for podcasters publishing weekly. It covers the processing volume needed for regular episodes and includes batch processing so you can handle multiple uploads at once. ## Turn Your Next Episode into a Week of Content Upload your podcast to OpenClip and get 8-12 platform-ready clips with captions and speaker tracking — no editing skills required.
