OpusClip

What is OpusClip?

OpusClip is a web-based AI video clipping and editing tool from Opusclip Inc. Given a long recording, it identifies the moments most likely to work as standalone shorts and assembles them into clips with captions, layout changes and transitions. Its ClipAnything model is described as handling any genre, including vlogs, gaming, sport and interviews, and accepts written prompts that point to a specific moment. A second model, ReframeAnything, resizes footage for other aspect ratios while tracking moving subjects. Around these sit an editor, AI B-roll, speech enhancement, dubbing, brand templates, a team workspace and a scheduler that posts to social accounts. Developers and AI agents can reach the same functions through an API and an MCP server. The service has a free plan and paid Starter, Pro and Business plans.
