Overview

OpusClip turns long videos into short social clips, with tools to refine and publish them. It is best suited to creators and teams repurposing existing footage on a regular schedule. Its broad workflow is the draw; the free tier’s watermark, lack of editing and short export window make it a limited option for finished work.

Key features

AI clipping and highlight detection identify segments to turn into clips, while AI captions, automatic reframing and social platform presets help adapt them for different formats. AI B-Roll, audio enhancement and voice-over add production options, and transcript-to-post output can carry the workflow beyond video. Support for English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese and more than 20 additional languages makes the captioning and clip workflow relevant to a multilingual audience.

The AI Producer is designed to turn talking-head footage into publish-ready video. Text-based and timeline editing and brand tools give creators ways to revise clips, rather than relying entirely on an automated cut. That distinction matters: editing is not included on Free, so the no-cost plan is better for trying the workflow than completing polished work.

Pro supports imports from YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Loom, Riverside and StreamYard. API workflow integration, Zapier and an MCP connector offer routes for connecting OpusClip with CMS and other tools. The iOS app supports video uploads, AI clip generation, caption editing and one-tap sharing on iPhones running iOS 16 or newer.

Pricing

OpusClip is freemium, with a 7-day trial and paid plans starting at $15 a month. The plans trade export freedom and editing access for monthly credits and additional team or publishing capacity.

• Free: free, billed Free forever. It provides 60 credits per month and clips rendered up to 1080p, with auto reframe and AI captions. Exports carry a watermark, editing is unavailable, and clips can no longer be exported after three days. That makes Free a constrained preview, not a dependable archive or editing plan.
• Starter: $15 a month, billed $15 billed monthly. It includes 150 credits per month, one brand template and watermark removal. For an individual creator, it removes two major free-tier obstacles, but the plan does not list editing capacity or team seats, so it is a narrower fit than Pro for collaborative production.
• Pro: $29 a month, billed $29 USD monthly or $174 billed annually ($14.5 USD/mo). It includes 300 credits per month, two seats, two brand templates, six social account connections and unused credits that roll over for two months. The extra capacity and publishing connections suit professional creators, marketers and small teams; the annual option lowers the monthly equivalent but commits users to annual billing.
• Business: custom pricing, with priority processing, customized credits, seats and social connections, dedicated storage, API and custom integrations, and enterprise-level security. It is aimed at organizations that need tailored scale and integrations rather than a fixed self-serve allowance.

Platforms

OpusClip is available on web and iOS, and offers an API. The iOS app runs on iPhone with iOS 16 or newer. Its security portal lists SOC 2 Type 2 and GDPR compliance, with continuous monitoring by Secureframe. Users can seek help through Discord or [email protected]; Pro adds Intercom chat support, while Business includes priority support through a dedicated Slack channel.

Who it's for

Choose OpusClip if you already have long-form video and want one workflow for finding short segments, adapting them and publishing to social channels. Starter is the most direct fit for an individual creator who needs watermark-free clips; Pro is more suitable when multiple seats, more brand templates and several social connections matter. Organizations requiring custom integrations, storage or security can consider Business. Look elsewhere if you need an unrestricted free editor or do not expect to use a recurring credit allowance.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Clipping, captions, reframing, editing tools and social publishing bring several stages of repurposing into one product.
• Pro: Pro’s two seats, six social connections and two-month credit rollover provide more flexibility for recurring team workflows.
• Con: Free clips become unexportable after three days, and the watermark and lack of editing limit the plan’s usefulness for finished content.
• Con: Starter is limited to 150 monthly credits and one brand template, while team seats and rollover appear only on Pro.
