Today we’re excited to unveil a brand-new integration between Zype and qlip that lets you automatically turn long form, horizontal videos in your Zype library into short, vertical or square, mobile-optimized clips for social distribution. With qlip’s AI-powered capabilities of highlight detection, reframing, and captioning now available to Zype users via the Zype Marketplace, repurposing content for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and more has never been faster, making it easy for you to grow engagement and boost monetization of your video content.
What is qlip?
qlip is an AI-driven video productivity platform that combines computer-vision, speech analysis, and motion-tracking models to scan horizontal videos, surface the most compelling moments, and auto-edits them into punchy social clips complete with dynamic captions and on-brand graphics.
qlip’s machine-learning models have been trained on hundreds of thousands of hours of video and designed to help you optimize content for social audiences. With qlip you can grade each potential highlight for virality, re-frame 16:9 footage to 9:16 or 1:1, and keep faces and focal points perfectly centered. qlip has been shown to deliver 10x more social outputs, with 90% less manual editing effort, and 40% wider audience reach thanks to its seamless, multi-format delivery.
Easily Clip your Zype Videos with qlip
If you’re using Zype to store and house your long-form video content, you can easily create short-form clips using qlip in just a few steps. With our native integration available for joint customers, there’s no need to download and re-upload videos to generate and reframe clips.

How does it work?
In qlip, you can easily edit your Zype content, set your highlight settings, indicating how many highlights you want to produce, min and max durations, tone of voice, keywords of interest, exclusion parameters and more. Once clips are generated, they can be easily edited and adjusted or exported immediately to social or your Zype platform for further downstream distribution.
See Svend Court-Payen, Co-Founder of qlip, provide a demo of qlip's capabilities in this clip from our recent product webinar.
Setting Up the qlip and Zype integration
- Enable the tile: Once you have an active qlip account, you can unlock the integration in your Zype Marketplace by Navigating to Zype’s Integrations Marketplace and clicking on the qlip tile. After clicking “Unlock the qlip Integration” you can take the Integration Key provided and paste it into your qlip account dashboard.
- Prepare your source video: With the integration enabled, next find the video you want to clip in your Zype Library, go to the Edit Video Details tab and find the MP4 rendition. To create clips from your Zype-hosted video in qlip, the video must be transcoded into the MP4 format. If you don’t have an MP4 edition, you can create one by adjusting the Transcoding Settings. Once you have the MP4 created, Under “Video Stream Sources” on the right hand side of your Details page, hover over the MP4 transcode stream profile hyperlink, copy the Link Address.
- Send to qlip: Once you have the video’s direct download URL from Zype’s Link Address, you can head to the qlip platform where you can paste in the Zype link under the “Remote URL” field. qlip will download the file directly from that link.
- Configure highlights: In qlip’s dashboard you can choose clip length, aspect ratios, caption style, and any brand templates.
- Generate & review: qlip surfaces suggested highlights which you can tweak or accept easily with one click.
- Distribute to social media: Select the social media platforms you wish to deliver to, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and more.
You can also upload your videos back in Zype and use our related videos capability to associate the qlip-produced clips to the parent video and vice-versa, to keep your clips organized and easily discoverable. To learn more about the Related Videos tab in Zype’s CMS, please refer to this help center article. Once you upload your videos back in Zype, your new clips stored in Zype's CMS are ready for playlists, Playout, or Apps distribution.
