OpenClip's speaker diarization identifies who is actively speaking at any moment and dynamically reframes the crop to center that speaker. When both speakers are on screen, the AI detects voice activity to determine who the active speaker is and adjusts framing accordingly. ### Does speaker tracking work with remote or split-screen interviews? Yes. OpenClip's AI-based face detection works on standard interview recordings including side-by-side layouts. It identifies faces in the frame and tracks the active speaker across the full recording. ### How many clips can I expect from a 60-minute interview? OpenClip typically surfaces 5–15 clip candidates per hour of interview content. The exact number depends on how many strong, self-contained moments exist in the conversation. ### Can I use this for podcast-style video interviews? Absolutely. Video podcast interviews are one of the most common use cases for OpenClip. The AI handles speaker tracking and moment detection the same way regardless of the interview format. ### What caption styles work best for interview clips? OpenClip offers 10 caption presets including Default, Pop, Beast, and others. For interviews, the Dan and Pop presets perform strongly on social platforms. All presets support word-level highlighting and emoji injection. ### Is there a manual editing interface if I want to tweak a clip?

The platform is designed to handle framing, timing, and captions automatically so you can export and publish quickly. ### Which plan is recommended for weekly interview content?
