What they are

Opus Clip

Opus Clip uses AI to analyze long-form video content and extract the most engaging moments as short clips sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Creators, marketers, and podcasters use it to repurpose existing content without manual editing. The AI scoring system ranks clips by predicted virality, which is a useful starting point, though its judgment does not always align with your specific audience.

Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view.
