Our verdict
Opus Clip uses AI to automatically identify the most engaging moments from long videos and create short, vertical clips with captions optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. Best for podcasters, YouTubers, and marketers repurposing content. The main caveat is AI clip selection isn't always accurate, and heavy editing is still needed for polished results.
