OpusClip · AI video editing
Paste a link or upload a long video. OpusClip finds the moments worth clipping, reframes and captions them, and exports or posts them — for creators, podcasters, marketers and teams.
Free Forever plan: 60 credits a month, watermark, clips exportable for 3 days. New accounts also get a 7-day Pro trial with no card. Checked Nov 11, 2026 · source
A finished long video arrives as a file or a YouTube link.
People sitting on long or raw talking video — podcasts, interviews, webinars, one-take phone updates — who want shorts or a finished cut without hiring an editor.
Clipping finds moments in a finished video and cuts them to size. Auto-edit (4.0) takes an unedited take and returns one finished video. Same editor, different starting point.
Credits are billed per source minute, not per clip. Starter is monthly-only. Scheduler, 16:9 / 1:1 outputs, team seats and API start at Pro. Prices vary by region.
You need frame-accurate manual editing, permanent storage without Pro, confirmed 4K delivery, or you mostly cut scripted multi-cam footage rather than talking video.
See the change, step by step
Each step changes one thing. Official OpusClip demonstrations are labelled; everything else is an illustration built by TrackerTools. No video is processed on this page.
The highlighted span is the moment matching the prompt. You review candidates instead of scrubbing an hour of footage.
Plan: Spoken-word clipping on Free; visual, sound and emotion cues plus re-prompting from Starter.
Features
Interactive elements built by TrackerTools are marked “illustrative”. They show the idea, not OpusClip’s own recognition or tracking.
01 · Find the moment
Prompt for what you want, set a timeframe and clip length, re-prompt to refine. Paid plans read visuals, sound and emotion as well as speech, so vlogs, gaming and sports work.
Worth knowing: Free clips by spoken words only; multimodal cues, Virality Score and re-prompting start at Starter. ClipAnything page →
Clipping cue:
02 · New in 4.0 · Official product demonstration
Drop in unedited talking footage or paste a link. Switch on what you want and get back one edited video rather than a pile of clips.
Worth knowing: announced Nov 2, 2026. Editing lives on paid plans; Free has no editor. 4.0 announcement →
03 · Shape the frame
OpusClip’s reframe follows the active speaker and switches layouts for screenshares and gameplay; Pro adds object tracking and manual tracking control.
Worth knowing: the frame on the right is a CSS crop drawn by TrackerTools, not AI tracking. AI Reframe page →
9:16 · illustrative
04 · Style the captions
Animated captions in 20+ languages with keyword and emoji highlights, speaker colours and a curse-word censor; AI image, stock and video B-roll; a text-and-timeline editor with music, voice-over and speech enhancement.
Worth knowing: captions run on every plan but Free exports carry a watermark; the editor starts at Starter, B-roll and speech enhancement at Pro.
05 · Repeat the setup
Save an edit configuration, or start from one of OpusClip’s, and the next upload is cut the same way.
Worth knowing: example recipes are TrackerTools illustrations; the preview is OpusClip’s official Recipes demo. Plan gating for Recipes is not published — check in the app.
06 · Hold attention
Two 4.0 additions aimed at the first seconds and at dense explanations.
Worth knowing: both are listed under the Pro plan. Hooks are templates applied to your words — review them so they don’t overstate what was said.
07 · Finish and publish
The last mile: keep clips on brand, hand them off, and get them out.

08 · Automate
A video API and an MCP connector let agents and CMS pipelines submit footage and collect clips. AI Producer is a separate open-beta product that edits talking-head footage by chat.

Related, but a different product
Where OpusClip starts from footage you already have, Agent Opus starts from a script, an idea, audio or brand assets and generates a publish-ready video — ads, explainers, narrated stories. It runs at agent.opus.pro with its own plans.
Worth knowing: Agent Opus pricing is separate from the OpusClip plans below. Its Max plan credits can be spent in OpusClip, per the Help Center — not the other way round. Nothing on this page is tested on Agent Opus.

The Free Forever plan gives 60 credits a month (about 60 source minutes), auto reframe to 9:16, captions with emoji and keyword highlights, and up to 1080p clips. Exports carry a watermark, there is no editor, and projects expire 3 days after processing.
New accounts get a 7-day Pro trial with no card. It opens most Pro features but still watermarks exports and excludes posting and scheduling, team workspace, 4K, bulk download, intro/outro cards, speech enhancement and a few editor extras. After it ends you drop to Free unless you subscribe.
One credit per minute of the source video you submit, regardless of how many clips come out. Under one minute rounds up to one credit; otherwise partial minutes round down. You can process only a timeframe to save credits. Posting to X costs 3 credits per clip per account. Monthly credits last 60 days; yearly credits last 12 months.
Yes on Free and during the trial. Starter, Pro and Business export without it.
Free and Starter accept local files up to 10 GB and YouTube links. Pro adds Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, StreamYard and more. Transcription and captions cover 20+ languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese.
Not on Free — it has no editor. Starter and up include the text-and-timeline editor; Pro adds B-roll, music, voice-over, speech enhancement and custom fonts.
Starter can auto-post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels or download. Pro adds the social scheduler, 6 account connections and multiple profiles per platform. Free can only download within the 3-day window.
Read the captions (names, brand terms and numbers are the usual misses), confirm the reframe kept the speaker and any on-screen text in frame, make sure a Viral Hook or Motion Graphic does not overstate what was said, and check you hold the rights to the source footage and any music. Virality Score is a ranking aid, not a prediction of results.
