What OpusClip does

OpusClip is a tool in the video category built around repurposing. You feed it a long video, such as a podcast, webinar or interview, and its AI scans for the most engaging moments and cuts them into short, vertical clips designed for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Each clip comes with auto-generated captions, automatic reframing that keeps the speaker in frame, and a virality score that helps you decide which segments are worth posting first. The result is a batch of social-ready clips in minutes rather than the hours manual editing would take.

Who it is for

OpusClip is aimed at podcasters, YouTubers, marketers and social teams who produce long-form content and want to maximize its reach without editing every clip by hand. The automated highlight detection and captioning make it easy to keep a consistent posting schedule across short-form platforms, and built-in scheduling helps push clips out directly. A free plan with limited processing minutes lets you test the workflow, and paid plans from around $9 per month add more minutes and features. As with most AI editing, a quick review of the picks and captions is worth doing before publishing.
