About Opus Clip
Opus Clip is a web tool that turns long-form video into short vertical clips with auto-captions, reframing, and a viral-score ranking.
The standout piece is the automation stack around each clip: it repurposes long videos into vertical shorts, adds animated auto-captions, uses AI auto-reframing to keep the active speaker centered, and assigns a virality score to rank clips by predicted performance.
It fits creators and social teams who want to mine short clips out of long recordings quickly. It is less suitable if you need a native desktop or mobile app — it is web-only — if the free tier's caps on clip count and video length are too tight, or if you want finished output without review, since auto-selected clips often need manual trimming before posting.
Within AI video tools it is a clipping-and-repurposing specialist rather than a full editor.
