Opus Clip

Opus Clip turns long-form video like podcasts, webinars, and 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.

The AI part is real editorial work. It finds the hook, picks where each clip starts and ends, and decides which speaker to highlight when several people are talking. The ClipScore tries to predict virality and ranks the clips, so you publish the strongest cuts first instead of guessing.

The product also 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

The whole thing assumes you already have source footage. If you want to design original short-form from scratch, built for vertical mobile viewing from the first frame, 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.
