Creating Video Clips

Turn your best video mentions into shareable clips for social media, websites, and presentations. The clip creator lets you select a timestamp range, add branded overlays and captions, and export clips in multiple formats.

When to create clips

Clips are most powerful when someone says something genuine and specific about your client in a video. A YouTuber saying "I switched to MentionFox and it saved me 10 hours a week" is infinitely more persuasive than any marketing copy. Clips capture these moments in a branded, shareable format.

How to create a clip

Find a video mention with a compelling moment. Click "Create Clip" on the mention card. Set the start and end timestamps — keep clips under 60 seconds for maximum social media impact. Choose a caption style (Modern shows animated text, Classic uses static lower-thirds, Minimal shows just the speaker). Add your logo and brand colors. Generate the clip — processing takes 30-60 seconds.

Best practices

• Keep clips 15-45 seconds for social media, up to 90 seconds for website embeds
• Include captions — 85% of social media video is watched without sound
• Choose the moment where the speaker makes their strongest point, not the entire review
• Use the same brand colors across all clips for consistency
• Create a library of 10-20 clips covering different use cases and testimonials
