The term "video clip" refers to a short segment or excerpt from a longer video recording. It can be an isolated piece of footage, usually lasting between 10 seconds and several minutes, that captures a specific moment or action within the larger context of the original video. Video clips are often used in various media formats such as television programs, movies, music videos, documentaries, news reports, advertisements, and online content to convey information, entertainment, or persuasion. They can be edited together with other clips to create a complete production, or they can stand alone as individual pieces of content.
