OpusClip review

OpusClip does one job and does it with little effort from you: paste a long video, and its AI picks the moments most likely to work as shorts, scores each one for virality, adds animated captions and reframes the shot for vertical, square or wide formats. A social scheduler then posts to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Starter costs $15 a month, billed monthly only, for 150 credits, captions in 20+ languages, filler and silence removal and watermark-free exports. Pro is $29 a month, or $14.50 when billed annually, and adds a 2-seat team workspace, AI B-roll, a hook generator, multiple aspect ratios, speech enhancement, video dubbing and export to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. The free plan gives 60 credits a month, but clips are watermarked and must be exported within 3 days. OpusClip is not a full editor for long-form work, so most creators pair it with one.
