About this tool
Opus Clip is an AI video repurposing tool that turns long-form videos such as podcasts, webinars and YouTube uploads into short vertical clips ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Users upload or link a long video and Opus Clip's ClipAnything engine analyzes the content for the most engaging moments, automatically generates captions, reframes the video to 9:16 with active-speaker tracking, and adds B-roll, emojis and AI-chosen hooks. Each clip is scored with a virality prediction and can be edited in a timeline before publishing or scheduling directly to social platforms. Opus Clip is popular with podcasters, agencies, marketers and creators who need to scale short-form output without hiring an editor, and is offered with free and paid tiers based on minutes of video processed per month.
