Every feature, in one product
Clipping and captioning are table stakes now. Here's the full picture of what OptimaClip does — including the workflow pieces most clipping tools leave for you to stitch together yourself.
Clipping Agent
Send a podcast, webinar, stream VOD, or long-form YouTube video. OptimaClip transcribes it and reasons over the full transcript to find hooks, strong opinions, emotional beats, and clear teaching moments — not just the loudest timestamps. Each candidate clip comes back with a virality score and a plain-English 'why this clip' explanation, so you learn what's working instead of trusting a black box. Want it to skip certain topics entirely — sponsor reads, intros, a specific subject? Tell it once with Exclude Topics and it will.
Auto-Captions & Brand Styling
Every clip is captioned by default and reformatted for vertical (9:16) automatically, with word-level highlight styling — or skip captions entirely if you'd rather add your own. Save your fonts, colors, and caption position once as a Brand Template, and every future clip matches it — no restyling by hand, ever.
Smart Reframe with face tracking
Standard clipping tools center-crop the whole video and hope the subject stays in frame. Smart Reframe looks at frames across each clip, finds the main speaker's face and follows it as they move, so interviews, gaming footage, and anyone who walks around while talking stay well-composed in vertical. If it can't find a face it falls back to following the visual action, so a render never fails because of it.
Multi-Language Transcription
21 languages plus auto-detect, powered by real language-code-aware transcription rather than an English-only default. Titles, hashtags, and descriptions OptimaClip generates stay in the source language automatically.
Twitch & Kick VOD Import
Paste a Twitch or Kick VOD link the same way you'd paste a YouTube link — OptimaClip pulls the video in as a source and clips it exactly like any other upload.
Scheduling & Publishing
Queue a month of clips in one sitting and let OptimaClip rotate them across your connected platforms — including LinkedIn and Bluesky — on the cadence you set. This is the single biggest difference between OptimaClip and a pure clipping tool — publishing lives in the same product, not a second subscription.
Advanced Clip Editor
Trim start/end points, restyle captions live, swap the platform mix per clip, and preview before it ships. It's a real editor with a manual override always one click away — never a fully automated black box you can't intervene on.
OptimaClip Studio — the agentic editor
A full timeline editor you drive by chat. Take your rendered clips and turn them into a finished video: sequence several clips, add transitions (crossfade, dip-to-black, slides, wipes, zoom), drop in title cards, lower-thirds, arrows and highlight rings, upload your own footage or record a voiceover, score it with royalty-free music and sound effects auto-ducked under the voice, and set a live per-clip speed you can see in the preview. It's direct-manipulation, not menu-diving: click or tap captions, text and graphics right on the video to select and drag them, right-click or long-press for split / duplicate / delete / reverse, click the video to play, drag a chunky handle to trim a clip as it resizes live. Pick the cover image your finished video shows in the library — a frame you scrub to, or your own upload. Then render the whole timeline in one click on the same reliability-backed engine your clips already use. It replaces the round-trip to CapCut or Premiere. Editing and the AI chat are free; a finished render costs 2 credits plus 1 per minute, only when it succeeds.
Curse-word censor
Switch on one toggle in a brand template and profanity is masked in the burned-in captions (f***) and silenced in the audio, on every clip that uses that template. Brand-safe clips with no editing pass.
Premiere Pro & DaVinci Resolve export
Every clip has a one-click edit list (EDL) with the exact cut on your original footage, plus SRT captions, so you can open the clip in Premiere, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut and keep editing there. Free on every plan.
AI voice-over
In Studio, type a script, pick from 8 natural voices and drop the narration on your timeline. 1 credit per voice-over (up to about a minute of speech). Paid plans.
AI dubbing in 17 languages
Re-voice any finished clip in Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese, and more. 10 credits per minute of clip, charged only when the dub finishes successfully. Paid plans.
Pricing you can predict
1 credit = 1 minute of source video. Every clip the AI finds and the first export of each format are free, captions included. A 10-minute video is 10 credits no matter how many clips come out.
Render Reliability Fallback
Clip rendering runs through a primary pipeline with a dedicated backup renderer behind it — if the primary pipeline is ever under load or hits an error, the job automatically retries and fails over instead of getting stuck. You get a finished clip, not a support ticket.
Content Moderation
Every AI-picked clip is screened before it's ever surfaced for publishing — a safety net most clipping tools don't build in, protecting your connected accounts from a pick you'd never have approved yourself.
Team Workspaces
Invite editors and account managers with role-based access (Admin, Editor, Viewer). Agencies get per-client separation so nothing from one client's brand templates or history bleeds into another's.
Bring OptimaClip Into Any AI Agent
A documented REST API and per-key access means OptimaClip isn't locked to its own dashboard. Generate an API key, drop it into Zapier, n8n, or your own AI agent, and trigger clip jobs, check status, and publish programmatically.

Know why each clip should work
Every platform you publish to, one queue.
Publish everywhere
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.
