Usage Note

Videoclip is a loanword from English, fully adopted into Spanish and written as one word. The Real Academia Española recognizes it. The plural is videoclips. In everyday speech clip alone is sometimes used informally. It refers specifically to the short promotional film accompanying a song, not a video in general (vídeo or video).

Examples

"El videoclip del grupo fue un gran éxito."

Natural Translation

The band's music video was a great success.
