A Workflow is Clik's multi-output mode. You upload a batch of footage — and optionally a brief — and Clik plans a set of videos to make from it, then creates each one as its own project.
One shoot in. Multiple drafts out.
How it's different from the Edit Agent
The Edit Agent makes one video from one set of footage. You upload, it drafts, you refine. That's the whole loop.
A Workflow takes the same inputs and fans out. A 3-hour batch shoot becomes 1 long-form video + 6 shorts, each with a different hook, all queued up in parallel. You don't run the Edit Agent six times — Workflow handles the planning, assignment, and execution in one pass.
When to use a Workflow
- Batch shoot days — you filmed multiple videos in one session and need each one edited separately.
- Long-form → shorts — one 40-minute recording becomes a full episode plus several clips.
- A/B ad testing — one script body, multiple hooks; you want every variant ready to test.
- Agency client work — one client shoot, multiple deliverables, every draft ~90% done before your editors touch it.
If you have one video to make, stick with the Edit Agent. If you're making many, Workflow is faster than running Edit Agent multiple times — it uses one set of context (footage, brief, intent) to produce every variant.
The five steps
Every Workflow run follows the same loop:
- Ingest — upload footage, plus an optional brief or template.
- Analyze — Clik reads the footage, transcript, and any brief. Deduces concepts, segments, and a proposed output map.
- Plan — Clik shows you a titled list of proposed videos with scope and duration for each. You chat with it to add, remove, or reshape variants.
- Confirm — you approve the plan. Nothing gets built until you say go.
- Execute — Clik creates one project per variant, each with its own timeline. Iterate individually from there.
The plan step is deliberate. Running 10 agents in parallel is expensive and opinionated — Workflow makes sure you're aligned before it spends time on every draft.
Think like a director
The more direction you give, the better the result. Direction can be formal or informal — what matters is that you describe what you want before Clik starts editing.
Direction can look like:
- A full brief — scripts, hooks, angles, shot-level creative direction. Best for agencies, ad variants, scripted shoots.
- Notes in the chat — a few bullets on what you want ("3 shorts, each 45 seconds, different hooks pulled from the plating sequence"). Fast and low-overhead for creators.
- A sentence or two — "long-form recipe video plus 3 shorts from the plating." The bare minimum.
If you have only footage, Clik can propose concepts on its own — but results are less predictable. Even a one-sentence intent makes the plan noticeably better.
