Overview and Main Features
1. AI Clip Selection
OpusClip AI can automatically screen a long-form video for high engagement moments. The AI identifies moments where the speaker’s tone, emphasis, and energy are high. It also analyzes the content of what is being said to find valuable information.
2. Auto-Captions and Subtitles
OpusClip AI recognizes that many internet users consume content with subtitles. Therefore, it automatically creates captions and subtitles to boost engagement. This keys into most senses. Consumers can choose to either listen to the audio or read the subtitles. It analyzes top-performing videos on the internet and uses AI to generate engaging captions.
3. Virality Score
Opus Clip AI does more than repurpose content. After creating the short form video, the tools assign a virality score that predicts the video’s performance. The scores are not random. Opus Clip AI analyzes videos on the internet, and it then assigns a score based on similarity to top-performing content.
4. Social Media Optimization
In the video creation process, OPus Clip AI will let you tailor the video to social media platforms. The tool automatically adjusts aspect ratios, transitions, and overlays to match the platform you’re posting on (TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube Shorts).
5. Customization Options
The AI does most of the work, but you can still tweak clips manually. You can adjust captions, trim footage, or modify the layouts.
6. A Cloud-Based Tool
OpusClip AI runs in the cloud. This means you can access files from anywhere and without going through a software installation process.

Using OpusClip AI
1. Signing Up
The sign up was as easy as it could be. I entered my email to create an OpusClip AI account. I then started the free trial period (7 days), which didn’t require a credit card.
After starting the free trial, I was taken to the dashboard, which seemed intuitive enough.
2. Video Clipping
There, I had the option of uploading a media file or pasting a YouTube/Zoom link. The videos I could paste and upload were a range, I could generate videos from video podcasts, motivational speeches, product reviews, educational videos, and commentaries. However, the tool doesn’t cater to Vlogs, gaming, and music videos.
I decided to test out a sample video OpusClip AI provided:
To complete the video clipping process, OpusClip AI asked a few questions. It asked about my role, the organization I work for, and my purpose for the tool.
The video clipping process took a few minutes but it came out well. Alongside the video, OpusClip AI generated a transcript and subtitles for the video clip. There was also a list of options. I was allowed to export the video, publish on social media and even edit the clip.
I decided to explore the edit option. OpusClip AI allowed me to generate a B-roll, crop the video, and add background music.
OpusClip AI did what it said, it picked the key engaging moment in the video and created a short clip from it. I found the video clip just like any other I would stumble upon on YouTube Shorts.
