What is OpusClip?

OpusClip is an AI tool that automatically transforms long-form videos into short, shareable clips optimised for social media platforms. You upload a video, and the software identifies the most engaging moments, then cuts and formats them for different platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The tool handles the editing work that would normally take hours, making it useful for content creators, marketers, and teams who produce podcast episodes, webinars, or lengthy interviews and want to repurpose that content across multiple channels. It operates on a freemium model, so you can test it without payment before deciding whether to upgrade.
