Opus Clip
AI video clipping tool
Turn Long-Form Video into Viral Shorts with AI-Powered Clipping
Opus Clip is an AI video repurposing platform used by over 16 million creators and businesses to transform long-form podcasts, livestreams, webinars, and interviews into ready-to-publish short clips for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels.
The tool's ClipAnything engine identifies viral-worthy moments based on spoken words, visual cues, emotion, and genre-specific models, while ReframeAnything dynamically reframes the footage to 9:16, 1:1, or 16:9 with active speaker tracking and gameplay layouts. AI captions, B-roll generation, voice-overs, filler-word removal, and a built-in social media scheduler turn the platform into a full short-form video factory for podcasters, marketers, agencies, and content teams.
