Opus Clip: Your New AI Video Assistant
We get it—editing long-form videos into short-form content can be a drag. You’ve got podcasts, webinars, interviews, Zoom recordings… and turning them into bite-sized clips for social? That’s a whole other job in itself.
That’s where Opus Clip comes in. An AI-powered tool that helps you repurpose long-form video content into short, vertical clips optimized for TikTok, Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It’s not just cutting footage. It’s finding the good parts, formatting them for mobile, and dressing them up with captions, emojis, and even B-roll. All in one place.
If video repurposing is the task you dread the most. We are about to introduce you to your new favorite tool.
Opus Clip: Edit Less. Publish More.
Whether you're managing client content or trying to scale your own, short-form video is the key to staying visible. Opus Clip makes it easier to show up consistently without spending hours glued to a screen editing the day away.
Key Features:
Smart clipping: AI identifies “viral-worthy” moments based on hooks, keywords, and emotional beats.
Vertical video reframing: Automatically centers the speaker and reformats widescreen footage for mobile.
AI B-roll: Adds supporting visuals (you’ll still want to double-check them).
Auto captions + emojis: Stylized text that boosts watch time and accessibility.
Scheduler + export options: Streamline your publishing flow across platforms.
Think of it as your personal AI video assistant pulling the best clips, adding polish, and giving you a running start.

Before Diving in Head-First
Opus Clip isn’t perfect, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Like most AI tools, it gets you right to the start of the finish line… but you’ll want to give clips a once-over before they go live.
Heads-up on limitations:
Context can get lost. AI doesn’t always know where a sentence begins or ends.
The AI can’t tell if a clip includes sensitive info, tangents, or bloopers. If you’re working with raw Zoom calls or client footage, plan to scrub manually.
You can customize captions and templates, but if you’re used to detailed motion graphics or advanced brand styling, you’ll likely need to export and finish in After Effects or Premiere.
Editing video? That’s the slowdown for a lot of creators and teams. With Opus Clip, you can finally move faster, without sacrificing quality. It takes your long-form content and turns it into scroll-stopping shorts that actually get seen.
Whether you’re building a brand, running a business, or managing client content, this is the kind of tool that gives you time and traction back.
