OpusClip

OpusClip is an AI tool that turns long videos — podcasts, webinars, interviews, and streams — into short vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Upload a video, and its AI finds the moments that hold attention, then reframes, captions, and formats them as ready-to-post clips. It suits creators, podcasters, and marketers who publish short-form video weekly. It works on a credit system. Paid plans add virality scores, editing, and social posting, and a free plan is available for trying it.

Key Features

1. AI Clip Detection

The AI scans a long video for hooks, pacing, and topic energy, then cuts out the moments most likely to work as short clips.

2. Virality Score

On paid plans, each clip gets a virality score that ranks how likely it is to perform, so creators post the strongest clips first.

3. Auto Reframing

Footage is reframed from wide 16:9 to vertical 9:16 or square 1:1, with the speaker kept in frame as they move.

4. Animated Captions

Word-by-word animated captions are added in trendy styles, with emoji and keyword highlights to hold viewer attention.

5. ClipAnything Search

On the Pro plan, type a prompt for a scene, topic, or feeling, and the tool finds the matching moment in the video for clipping.

6. Built-in Editor

Paid plans include an editor with text-based and timeline editing, so clips can be trimmed and refined before posting.

7. Brand Templates

Save fonts, colors, and logos as a brand template, so every clip keeps the same look across platforms.
