ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Video clip

A video clip is like a tiny little movie. Just like a regular movie, it has moving pictures that show you things happening. But instead of being long like a whole movie, a video clip is usually only a few minutes or even just a few seconds long. People use video clips to show something funny or interesting or to share a message with their friends or the world. You can watch video clips on your computer, phone, or tablet. It's kind of like watching a little TV show just for a little while instead of a whole big movie.
