OpenClip's AI is trained to score segments by hook strength, so it naturally surfaces these persuasive moments. ### How does OpenClip handle webinars with screen sharing? OpenClip's speaker tracking focuses on the on-camera presenter. If your webinar includes screen share segments, OpenClip will prioritize clips featuring the speaker. The AI scores moments based on the spoken transcript, so it finds high-value dialogue regardless of what's on screen. ### Can I get clips in multiple aspect ratios for different ad placements? Yes.

This is critical for paid video ads, where the majority of viewers watch on mobile without sound. ### How many ad clips can I expect from one webinar?
