OpusClip

Overview

OpusClip is the most widely used AI video repurposing tool, with 10 million+ creators and 1 million+ businesses on the platform. Upload a long-form video — podcast episode, webinar, YouTube video, or recorded interview — and OpusClip's AI analyzes the content, identifies the highest-engagement moments, and cuts them into ready-to-post vertical clips. Each clip receives a virality score based on predicted engagement from content hooks, emotional delivery, and platform trends. The tool handles auto-reframing for vertical formats, caption generation in 40+ languages, speaker detection for multi-person conversations, and optional AI B-Roll insertion. A built-in social scheduler auto-posts to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, X, and Facebook. In August 2025, OpusClip launched Agent Opus, a text-to-video tool that creates original videos from text prompts, articles, or URLs. Pro users can export XML timelines directly to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. OpusClip competes with Klap and Munch, differentiating on virality scoring accuracy and its creator-focused editing suite.

How It Works

You upload a video by file or URL. OpusClip's GPT-4-powered AI analyzes audio and visual content to identify clips with strong engagement potential. Each candidate clip receives a virality score based on emotional tone, hook quality, and content density. You review all scored clips, select the ones you want, and edit them in the clip editor to adjust timing, captions, and brand styling. Auto-reframing converts landscape video to vertical format using AI speaker tracking. Captions are generated automatically and styled with custom fonts and animations. The Pro tier adds AI B-Roll, a social scheduler, and XML export for professional editing software. Billing uses a credit system based on source video length — a 30-minute upload costs 30 credits whether you export 1 clip or 15. Monthly credits reset each billing period.
