About Opus Clip
Opus Clip is an AI tool that transforms long-form videos (webinars, podcasts, YouTube videos, Zoom calls) into high-quality short clips optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The AI analyzes transcripts, identifies the most engaging moments based on hook strength, content quality, and emotional resonance, and automatically creates clips with captions, b-roll transitions, and speaker-focused framing. The Virality Score predicts how likely each clip is to perform well on short-form platforms. Opus Clip also handles caption styling, speaker zoom, and clip trimming automatically. The free tier provides 60 minutes of clip generation per month; Pro ($19/month) increases limits and adds brand kit features. Used heavily by podcasters, course creators, and YouTube channels repurposing existing content.
