What is OpusClip?
OpusClip is a web-based AI video editing tool that converts long-form footage into short clips for platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. Users can upload a local file or, on supported plans, import videos from services including YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Twitch, Loom, and Riverside.
Its clipping model works with podcasts, interviews, vlogs, gaming footage, sports, explainers, and other video formats. The platform identifies sections suitable for short clips, adds captions, reframes footage for different aspect ratios, and provides editing controls before export or publication. OpusClip also offers team workspaces, brand templates, scheduling, and API options for larger production workflows.
Key Features
