Opus Clip

  • OpusClip — Full Profile (English, 2026-08)

    1. One-line positioning

    Opus Clip = web AI clipper that ingests long-form video/audio (podcast, webinar, YouTube, Zoom, local up to 10–30 GB) and uses ClipAnything (transcript + computer-vision + sentiment) to score moments 0–100 Virality Score, auto-reframe active speaker to 9:16/1:1/16:9, layer animated captions in 20+ langs with emoji/keyword highlights, insert AI/stock B-roll, and schedule to Shorts/Reels/TikTok/LinkedIn/X — credit-metered by source minute (1 credit = 1 min imported). Free $0/60 cr/mo watermark 3-day export; Starter $15/mo 150 cr; Pro $29/mo (or $174/yr) 300 cr + 2 seats + B-roll + scheduler + Premiere/DaVinci XML; Business custom with full API/SSO/CMS. Agent Opus (add-on) does prompt/script/URL→original short with Veo/Sora/Kling/Luma routing. It clips existing footage; it is not a foundation model (Veo/Luma), not an avatar bench (HeyGen), not a text-to-video assembler (Pictory/Lumen5).

    4. Access Type (v2 spec)

    • access_type: web-app, api
    • access_display: 🌐 Web App (Chrome; no desktop client, no native iOS/Android creation app — mobile browser upload only) · 🔌 REST API + MCP server (api.opus.pro/v2/clips, api.opus.pro/api/mcp — 25 tools; self-serve key on Pro, full on Business)
    • Unlike Lumen5/Pictory (API enterprise-gated, not in self-serve), Opus Clip exposes a self-serve API key on Pro​ (rate-limited) + MCP for Claude/Cursor/Codex.

    5. Who should use it

    1. Podcasters / talking-head YouTubers​ — 1 episode → 10–20 scored vertical clips in <10 min
    2. B2B webinar / conference marketers​ — 60-min webinar → 5–8 LinkedIn-ready 9:16 cuts with captions
    3. Agencies running client social accounts​ — Pro 2 seats + scheduler + brand templates per client
    4. Churches / coaches / online course sellers​ — sermon/lecture → Shorts/Reels without an editor
    5. Post teams wanting NLE handoff​ — Premiere/DaVinci XML export from Pro up
    6. Developers building clip pipelines​ — MCP server + REST for CMS auto-clip on upload

    6. Who should NOT use it

    1. Text/URL/blog → video from scratch​ → Lumen5 / Pictory; Opus Clip needs existing footage, no URL-to-video (except Agent Opus add-on, weaker than Pictory)
    2. Avatar lip-sync presenter / 175-lang dub​ → HeyGen; Opus Clip has no avatar product (Agent Opus can bolt one via routing, not native)
    3. Cinematic original footage gen​ → Veo 3.1 / Luma Ray3.2; Opus Clip clips what exists
    4. Frame-accurate timeline edit​ → Kapwing / Descript / Premiere; Opus Clip is clip-cut + caption + reframe, not trim-to-frame
    5. Free-tier ongoing publishing​ — 60 cr/mo = one 1-hr episode burns the whole month, watermark + 3-day expiry; not a usable plan
    6. Low-quality source rescue​ — output capped by source res/audio; won’t fix 480p cam or crosstalk panel
    7. ASR/music/TTS-only​ → Whisper/Suno/Murf; Opus Clip bundles captions as sub-service
