OpusClip

What it is for

OpusClip is a long-to-short clipping studio: paste a YouTube / podcast URL and the product cuts viral shorts with captions and a virality score. Use it when the job is turn one long recording into platform-ready clips, not when you need a blank timeline from scratch.

It is not open source. Free exists ($0 USD/mo). Starter is the first public paid card.

What makes it unique: the cover is OpusClip’s official Editor still from the AI B-roll help article — vertical clip preview, Autogenerate stock B-roll, and a stock search grid.

Key features

• AI clipping + Virality Score — pick the moments the model ranks highest (Starter card).
• Animated captions — 20+ languages on the Starter card; emoji and keyword highlighter on Free.
• Auto-post — YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, or download.
• Editor extras on Pro — AI B-roll, multiple aspect ratios, Premiere / DaVinci export, scheduler.
• Credits meter — Free 60/mo; Starter 150/mo; Pro 300/mo (unused Pro credits roll over 2 months).

Who it's for

Best fit: podcasters and talk-show editors who already have a long recording and want a daily short.

Poor fit: people who need a blank browser timeline (CapCut) or a transcript-first cut (Descript).
