OpusClip is an AI clipping tool that turns long videos into short clips with a virality score, AI captions and social scheduling. It uses a freemium model with a free plan and paid tiers.

Profile

OpusClip is an AI clipping tool that turns long-form video — podcasts, webinars, livestreams — into short, social-ready clips, scoring each one for predicted virality and adding AI captions before scheduling them out to social platforms. It's built for creators, podcasters and marketing teams who want to repurpose long recordings into short-form content without manually re-cutting and captioning every clip, and it runs on a freemium model with a genuine free plan.

Who builds it

OpusClip (opus.pro) is a dedicated AI clipping and repurposing platform: you upload or link a long video, and the platform's AI finds clip-worthy moments, cuts them to a chosen length, ranks them with a virality score, and applies animated captions automatically. Beyond clipping, it includes scheduling tools so clips can be pushed to social channels directly from the platform.

Core features

  • Clipping by spoken words, so the AI finds moments based on what's being said rather than just scene changes.
  • Virality scoring on generated clips to help prioritize which ones to publish first.
  • Animated caption templates, watermarked on the Free plan and watermark-free from the Starter plan ($15/month) up.
  • Selectable clip-length ranges — from under a minute up to 10–15 minutes — for repurposing longer segments, not just short hooks.
  • Social scheduling to publish clips directly from the platform.
  • Video Editing API, but gated to the Business tier rather than included in every paid plan.

Pricing

OpusClip is freemium:

  • Free ($0/month): clips marked 'with watermark', up to 1080p rendered output, and a 3-day access window on generated clips.
  • Starter ($15/month): watermark-free video export, the platform's highest available resolution, and a 30-day access window on clips.
  • Pro and Business: higher tiers add more processing volume and, on Business specifically, API and integration access (Video Editing API, Scheduler API, MCP connector, CMS and Zapier integrations).

Because OpusClip prices around clip volume and access windows rather than a flat per-video fee, cost scales with how many long videos you repurpose per month and how long you need generated clips to stay accessible.

Who it's for

OpusClip suits podcasters, YouTubers, webinar hosts and marketing teams who regularly turn long recordings into short clips for TikTok, Reels and Shorts and don't want to hand-edit each one. The Free plan is enough to test clip quality and captioning at 1080p, though clips carry a watermark and expire after 3 days; Starter removes the watermark and extends clip access to 30 days for a modest monthly cost. Teams that want to pull OpusClip's clipping pipeline into their own tools should note the API is a Business-tier feature, not included on Free, Starter or Pro.

Frequently asked questions

What does OpusClip cost?

OpusClip is freemium. The Free plan is $0/month with watermarked, up-to-1080p clips that stay accessible for 3 days. The Starter plan starts at $15/month and adds watermark-free export at the platform's highest available resolution plus a 30-day clip access window; Pro and Business tiers add more processing volume, and Business is the only tier with API and integration access.

Is OpusClip free, and does the free plan add a watermark?

Yes, OpusClip has a genuine free plan, but its clips are explicitly marked 'with watermark' on the pricing page. Watermark-free export is listed as a Starter-plan feature starting at $15/month.

What is the maximum resolution and clip length in OpusClip?

The Free plan renders clips up to 1080p, while Starter and above use the platform's highest available resolution rather than a fixed cap, per the pricing page. For clip length, OpusClip offers selectable output ranges — under 1 minute, 1–3, 3–5, 5–10 and 10–15 minutes — rather than a single fixed maximum, so you choose how long each repurposed clip should be.

Can I use OpusClip clips commercially?

OpusClip's pricing page doesn't include a commercial-use or licensing statement, so it doesn't specify usage rights by plan. Check OpusClip's terms of service directly if commercial licensing is a hard requirement.

Does OpusClip have an API?

Yes, but only on the Business plan. The pricing page lists a Video Editing API, Scheduler API, an MCP connector, and CMS/Zapier integrations as Business-tier features — they are not included on Free, Starter or Pro.

OpusClip vs. Vizard — which clipping tool should I pick?

Both turn long videos into short, captioned clips. OpusClip scores clips for virality and offers selectable clip-length ranges up to 10–15 minutes, with a free plan and Starter from $15/month, but its API is Business-tier only. Vizard uses a similar credit-based freemium model (1 credit = 1 minute of source video), with plans from $14.5/month, 4K export, and — unlike OpusClip — API access included in every paid plan rather than gated to a top tier. If programmatic access at a lower price point matters, compare Vizard's API terms directly; otherwise weigh virality scoring and clip-length flexibility on OpusClip's side.
