AI Generated
Opus Clip is the tool that makes video creators cry tears of joy. You paste a link to a long YouTube video, podcast, or Zoom call. Then, the AI watches the whole thing for you, finds the gold, cuts it, captions it, and slaps a Virality Score on every clip.
With 10M+ users and $50M in total funding (led by SoftBank), this isn't a hobby project; it’s a rocketship.
What makes it our favourite: Its AI Virality Score now predicts engagement potential before you even post. Combined with ClipAnything (which uses visual cues and sentiment analysis) and ReframeAnything, this thing edits like a human. Actually, it is arguably better: it is 57% less likely to produce those weird, incoherent cuts that make viewers scroll past.
How to Use It:
Step 1: Go to opus.pro and create a free account. The Free plan gives you 60 processing minutes per month, which is plenty for a test drive. Starter Plan starters at $15/month, and Pro starts at $29/month for the heavy hitters.
Step 2: Paste a YouTube URL, Google Drive link, or upload an MP4 directly (up to 10GB). It works with everything from gaming vlogs to dry corporate tutorials.
Step 3: Use the "Co-pilot" to select specific timeframes to clip, choose preferred clip lengths, let the AI auto-generate clips or use text prompts to find specific topics.
Step 4: Hit "Get Clips in 1 Click" and let the AI cook. You will get an email when it is done, usually within a few minutes for a 30-minute video.
Step 5: Review your 10 to 15 generated clips. Sort them by Virality Score and click "Edit" on the winners. You can adjust the captions (97% accuracy, but always double-check), tweak the colors, or add your logo.
Step 6: Download the high-quality clips or post them directly to your connected social media accounts from the dashboard.
Pro Tip: Use natural language prompts to guide the AI. Telling it to "Find the moments where I give a specific, actionable tip" results in way better clips than just letting it guess what’s important.
