OpusClip is an AI clipping tool that turns long videos — podcasts, webinars, interviews, livestreams and YouTube videos — into short clips ready for Instagram Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Upload a video or paste a link, and the AI finds the most engaging moments, reframes them vertically and adds captions.
The company says more than 20 million creators and businesses use it.
Key features include:
- AI clipping that finds highlights in long videos
- Virality scores to help pick the best clips
- Animated caption templates in many languages
- AI reframe to 9:16, 1:1 and 16:9 formats
- Brand templates for consistent captions and styles
- Social scheduling to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and more on Pro
The free plan includes 60 credits per month, but exports are watermarked, videos expire after 3 days and editing is limited. Starter costs about $15 per month with 150 credits and virality scores, and Pro costs about $29 per month ($14.50 per month billed annually) with 300 credits, the social scheduler and 2 seats. Business plans are custom.
OpusClip works best when you already have long-form video, and AI clip choices may need adjusting. For repurposing long videos into Reels, though, it’s a top pick.
