OpusClip - Clips From Video (Video-to-Video)

What is OpusClip - Clips From Video?

OpusClip - Clips From Video is an AI video-clipping model that turns one long-form video into ready-to-post short clips. Point it at a podcast, interview, webinar, or vlog URL and it transcribes the audio, scores the highest-impact moments, and returns vertical clips with animated captions and automatic reframing. It is built for creators, podcasters, and marketers who want to repurpose long videos into TikToks, Reels, and YouTube Shorts without a manual editing pass.

Key Features

• •Two curation modes: talking-heads for rule-based podcast and interview clipping, and generic for prompt-driven clipping of any genre.
• •AI reframe that keeps the speaker centered when converting landscape footage to portrait, landscape, or square.
• •Animated, high-accuracy captions burned into every clip.
• •Controls for clip length, genre, topic keywords, source language, filler-word removal, and brand-template styling.
• •Accepts long-form sources up to 90 minutes from YouTube, Vimeo, Zoom, Twitch, LinkedIn, or a public MP4.

Best Use Cases

Podcasters and interviewers get the strongest results with clip_type: talking-heads. In testing, a landscape interview produced clean 1080x1920 vertical clips with the speaker tracked and captions synced to speech. Use generic with a custom prompt to pull specific moments — the funniest exchanges, product mentions, key takeaways — from vlogs, gaming, sports, or explainers. Marketers can batch one webinar into a week of social posts.

Prompt Tips and Output Quality

For talking-heads, set genre to Podcast or Interview and add topic_keywords to steer selection. Keep clip_duration between 15 and 60 seconds for Shorts and Reels, and choose aspect_ratio: portrait for vertical platforms. Enable remove_filler_words for tighter cuts and pick a brand_template_id to match your channel style. The response is a clips array; each clip includes a title, description, hashtags, and a downloadable MP4 URL.
