OpusClip
Turn long recordings into captioned social clips with AI clipping, reframing, and editing tools.
About OpusClip
OpusClip is a web-based AI video clipping and editing tool for turning long recordings into short clips for social platforms. It identifies clip-worthy sections across podcasts, interviews, vlogs, gaming, sports, explainers, and other video genres, then adds animated captions and reframes footage for vertical viewing. Creators can control clip length and timeframe, while the editor provides room to refine the result. This works best for people who regularly repurpose existing video and want to reduce the time spent finding excerpts, captioning them, and adapting aspect ratios. A free plan makes it possible to test the basic workflow, though its caption output carries a watermark and several editing, tracking, storage, and branding controls are unavailable. Paid tiers begin at $15 per month for Starter and $29 per month for Pro, while Business uses custom pricing. Teams that need brand templates, shared production, automation, or more advanced editing should compare the paid tiers closely because the practical value depends on monthly credit needs and which controls are included.
Best for
Best use cases
After recording a podcast, upload the episode and select promising moments for a week of short-form posts.
When adapting an interview for vertical channels, generate captions and reframe speakers into a 9:16 layout.
For a recurring content calendar, use automation and team workflows to keep clip production moving on schedule.
Compare before choosing
The free tier lowers testing cost, but watermarking and missing editing controls limit polished client-facing output.
Starter and Pro provide paid upgrade paths at $15 and $29 per month, so credit needs and required controls affect value.
Business targets team and brand workflows with custom pricing, which adds sales contact before cost can be compared.
