OpusClip review

What OpusClip is

OpusClip turns long videos into short clips and publishes them to social platforms in one click. Upload or link a podcast, webinar, stream or vlog, and its AI finds the most engaging moments, cuts them into vertical clips, adds animated captions and gives each one a Virality Score so you know which to post first.

Its headline models are ClipAnything, which OpusClip says works on any genre rather than just talking-head podcasts, and AI reframe, which resizes video for any platform while keeping moving subjects centered with object tracking.
