Full review
Opus Clip is an AI tool that automatically converts long-form video (podcasts, webinars, YouTube videos) into short, vertical clips optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts — identifying the most engaging moments and adding captions, reframing, and basic editing automatically.
Its core value is repurposing: rather than manually scrubbing through an hour-long video to find shareable moments and reformatting them for each platform, Opus Clip's AI identifies likely high-engagement segments, generates auto-captions, and reframes the video to vertical format, producing multiple ready-to-post clips from one source video.
Opus Clip has a free tier with limited monthly upload minutes, with paid plans increasing limits and adding more editing controls and branding options. For creators and brands repurposing long-form content (podcasts, YouTube videos, webinars) into short-form social clips at volume, Opus Clip automates a task that would otherwise require a dedicated video editor.
