# What is a clip

A clip is the content that one generation covers, so that several shots are generated together as a whole.

Clips are the key to how Moodio makes complex video creation clear and easy to control.

Unlike a shot in a traditional storyboard, a clip is all the content that one generation covers. Several shots can be generated together as a whole, which keeps the content continuous and gives you more creative freedom.

## Why create clips

A complete video usually has several scenes, characters, and continuous action. If you make everything on one canvas, the content easily gets mixed up, and it is hard to control and adjust.

Clips split the full video into fairly independent parts, and give each part its own space to work in. **Each part becomes clearer and easier to control.**

Working in separate clips makes the whole process of making a video **clearer and easier to control, and helps with later changes and teamwork**.
