What is Opus Clip?
OpusClip is an AI video tool that cuts long videos into short clips for YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. You paste a link (YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Twitch and others) or upload a file. Its ClipAnything model then picks highlight moments from podcasts, vlogs, sports, gaming or interviews, and you can use natural-language prompts to target specific moments.
Each clip gets animated captions in 20+ languages, AI reframing with object tracking for different aspect ratios, a virality score and optional AI B-roll. A text and timeline editor, filler and silence removal, speech enhancement, video dubbing and a thumbnail generator cover the rest of the editing. Finished clips can be scheduled to social accounts or exported to Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
OpusClip is aimed at creators, podcasters, marketers and agencies. Teams get workspaces and brand templates, and developers can use an API and an MCP connector.
