Opus Clip

Opus Clip is an AI video repurposing tool that automatically transforms long-form videos into viral-ready short clips optimized for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. Users paste a video URL or upload a file, and Opus Clip's AI analyzes the content to identify the most compelling moments, then generates multiple short clips with dynamic captions, smart reframing, and speaker tracking.

The platform's ClipGenius AI scores each generated clip on its viral potential based on engagement prediction algorithms trained on millions of social media videos. Opus Clip automatically reframes horizontal videos to vertical 9:16 format, keeping the active speaker centered and following gestures and movements.

The auto-generated captions are keyword-highlighted and animated in styles proven to increase watch time on short-form platforms. Users can customize caption styles, add branding, and adjust clip boundaries before exporting. The platform handles multi-speaker content by tracking face positions and switching framing between speakers.

Opus Clip also offers a B-roll feature that automatically inserts relevant stock footage to enhance visual variety. It integrates with YouTube, allowing direct import via URL. The free plan offers limited processing per month, while paid plans unlock more upload minutes and higher resolution exports.

Opus Clip is indispensable for podcasters, educators, and marketers repurposing long content for social media distribution.
