For social feeds, usually under a minute, and often 15 to 60 seconds. Keep each clip to one clear point so it stands on its own.
Video Glossary
Video Clips
Video clips are short segments taken from a longer video, often used for sharing on social media.
What are video clips?
Video clips are short segments cut from a longer recording. Instead of asking people to watch a full webinar or video, you share a focused moment that stands on its own, usually under a couple of minutes.
Why video clips matter
Clips are how long content travels. A single webinar can produce dozens of clips for social media, email, and landing pages. They match how people watch online, where short-form video and quick highlights get the most attention.
What makes a good clip
A good clip starts on a strong moment, makes one clear point, and works on mute with captions. Vertical or square aspect ratios suit social feeds, and a short hook in the first seconds keeps people watching.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a video clip be?
How do I turn a long video into clips?
Find the strongest moments, trim them, format them for the platform, and add captions. Livestorm AI Studio (https://livestorm.co/features/ai/livestorm-ai-studio) does this automatically by scanning your webinar replays and creating ready-to-publish clips.
What makes a video clip perform well?
There is no formula, but strong clips share a hook in the first seconds, one clear idea, captions for sound-off viewing, and a format that fits the platform.
What is the difference between a clip and a highlight?
A clip is a single moment shared on its own, while a highlight reel strings several key moments into one summary. Both come from the same source recording.
