Turn long videos into viral short clips
Reviewed by the the30top research team · Last reviewed 2026-10-27
Overview
OpusClip takes a long video such as a podcast, webinar or stream and cuts it into short clips with captions and automatic reframing. It supports brand templates, a team workspace and direct publishing. Free exports are capped at 1080p and media storage expires after 3 days, so it works as a trial rather than a long-term free workflow.
Our verdict
A focused clipping tool that does one job well, with a free tier to test it. Plan on reviewing each clip before it goes live.
Best for
Creators and marketing teams turning long recordings into a steady stream of shorts.
Avoid if
You need original video generated from a prompt rather than clips cut from footage you already have.
