Opus Clip

Opus Clip turns long-form video (podcasts, webinars, lectures) into short-form clips ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. You upload a video, the AI scans for the most quotable moments, then reframes them vertically with captions and visual emphasis.

So the AI part is real editorial work: finding the hook, picking where each clip starts and ends, choosing which speaker to highlight when multiple people are talking. The ClipScore attempts to predict virality, ranking clips so you publish the strongest cuts first instead of guessing which clips to prioritize.

Plus the product handles the unglamorous parts of social video production:

• Dynamic captions in your brand colors and fonts
• B-roll insertion to break up talking-head footage
• Music selection from a built-in library
• Removing filler words ("um," "uh," "like")
• Vertical reframing that follows the active speaker

Common workflows by role:

• Podcasters turn weekly episodes into a dozen short clips for distribution
• B2B marketing teams repurpose webinar content into social video
• Creators ship long-form content and let Opus handle the clip distribution
• Agencies manage clip operations across multiple client podcasts
• Founders turn keynotes and interviews into social-ready content

A few specifics worth knowing:

• ClipScore ranks generated clips by predicted virality, not by random order
• Multi-speaker reframing handles back-and-forth conversation without manual intervention
• Caption styling can be customized to brand colors and fonts
• Export formats cover TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and standard social aspect ratios

Where Opus Clip fits best:

• Long-form content programs needing a short-form distribution multiplier
• Podcasts where the host doesn't want to spend hours on clip editing weekly
• B2B teams whose webinars otherwise live and die in one viewing
• Creator economy operators repurposing content across channels

The math works when:

• You're already producing long-form content (the clip workflow assumes source material)
• Volume of short-form output matters for the distribution strategy
• The clip-to-clip quality is good enough, not hand-crafted

Now, for original short-form production where each piece is designed from the start for vertical mobile viewing, native tools like CapCut give more creative control. Opus is repurposing infrastructure, not a creator-first short-form editor.

Freemium with a free tier capped at a few hours of monthly upload, scaling to paid plans by upload hours, AI clip generations, and export quality.

Best for podcasters, creators, and B2B marketing teams already producing long-form content who want a short-form multiplier. Not ideal for original short-form content production, where native tools like CapCut give more creative control.
