Scenario

Educational institutions struggle to hold student attention with long-form content. Admissions teams, student affairs offices, and faculty want short, compelling videos to share on social media, embed in LMS platforms, and send via email campaigns — but lack the time or video editing expertise to produce them at scale. OpenClip automates the clip creation process, turning existing recordings of lectures, panels, campus events, and orientation sessions into polished short videos designed to drive engagement.

Upload any recording — campus event coverage, faculty Q&A, orientation sessions, student success stories, or club showcases.

2

AI detects engaging moments

OpenClip analyzes the full recording and surfaces the most compelling, hook-worthy moments that will resonate with a student audience.

3

Select and preview clips

Review clip candidates, pick the ones that match your communication goals, and preview how they'll look with captions.

4

Customize caption style

Choose a caption preset that fits your institution's brand. Word-level captions ensure accessibility and increase view completion rates.
