Opus Clip

Most people who cut short clips from long videos still do it by hand in CapCut or Adobe Premiere Pro: scrub the timeline, find a good 40 seconds, reframe to vertical, add captions, export, repeat. OpusClip's pitch is that you skip almost all of that. Its homepage promise is blunt: "1 long video, 10 viral clips." You drop in a link or upload a file, and it picks the moments, reframes them, captions them, and can publish them to your social accounts in one click. It's less a video editor and more a clip factory with an editor bolted on.

The interesting difference from other AI clippers is scope. OpusClip claims its ClipAnything model works on "any genre": vlogs, gaming, sports, interviews and explainers. It takes a direct shot at competitors that "only work with video podcasts." ReframeAnything keeps moving subjects centered with object tracking, and you can switch to manual tracking when the AI follows the wrong thing. Around that core sit animated captions, AI B-Roll, speech enhancement, AI dubbing in your own voice, a thumbnail generator and a social scheduler that claims to queue a month of posts in 10 minutes. If you'd rather finish in a real NLE, Export to XML hands the project to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

It's also leaning into automation in a way CapCut doesn't. There's an API for wiring OpusClip into your CMS, plus an MCP server so AI agents can call it directly. That matters if you're an agency or media team processing dozens of videos a week. The social proof is heavy (20M+ users, logos like Mark Rober, Dhar Mann Studios and SaaStr), and it's freemium with paid plans from $15/mo. The honest caveat: the site is mostly marketing, the word "viral" does a lot of work, and several features are flagged "New," so treat the AI's picks as a strong first draft, not a finished cut.
