Know why each clip should work
Everything the big tools have — for a fraction of the cost
Clipping, captions, reframing, scheduling and an editor, plus a few things you can't get at OpusClip's price.
AI clip finder with a virality score
Every clip gets a 0–100 score and a one-sentence reason it should work — no black-box guessing.
Animated captions in 21 languages
Brand-styled, single-word pop or classic, custom colors, fonts and positions. Included free on every export.
Curse-word censor
One toggle masks profanity in captions and silences it in the audio — brand-safe clips without an editor.
Find any moment by describing it
Type “the funniest fail” or “every mention of pricing” — search reads the transcript and watches the frames, even in silent video.
Twitch & Kick VOD import
Paste a VOD link and get the highlights. Streamers and clip channels are first-class here.
Highlight Reels
Auto-stitch every matching moment into one compilation clip. No manual stitching.
Studio: edit by chatting
A full timeline editor driven by AI chat — transitions, music, sound effects, text, your own footage, voice-over. Replaces the CapCut round-trip.
Smart Reframe with face tracking
The crop follows the main speaker's face across the clip, so wide video becomes vertical with the person always in frame.
Premiere Pro & DaVinci Resolve export
Download an edit list (EDL) and SRT captions for any clip and open the cut in your editor. Free on every plan.
AI voice-over
Type text, pick a voice, and drop natural narration onto your Studio timeline. 1 credit per voice-over, paid plans.
AI dubbing in 17 languages
Re-voice any finished clip in another language. 10 credits per minute of video, charged only when the dub finishes; paid plans.
Post everywhere, on a schedule
Built-in scheduling to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn and Bluesky.
Developer API on Creator
Automate clipping from Zapier, n8n or your own code — API access starts at $39/mo, not a custom enterprise quote.
Teams & client workspaces
Seats, roles, brand templates per client. Agency-ready without the enterprise price tag.
