One long video five moments worth posting
You have an hour of material: a YouTube video, a stream, an interview, a webinar, a podcast. Somewhere in it are five moments that would work as short videos on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Finding those five by hand takes an evening, and that is why most long videos never get clipped.
Both tools solve that for you. You paste a link or upload the file, the AI reads the transcript, picks the moments, cuts them to vertical with the speaker in the frame and puts subtitles on each clip.
From link to clips and you can edit every one
To clip in you paste a link to a YouTube, TikTok or Instagram video, or upload the whole file (up to 5 GB). then cuts it into 3 to 15 clips of 8 to 59 seconds, each with a hook, a title and the reason it was picked. The source can be of any length.
Each clip opens in an editor. You can change the style of the subtitles, rewrite the hook, trim the cut, change the framing and pick a cover. All your downloads are free.
It can also run by itself. Connect your YouTube channel, and when you publish a new video it is clipped without you having to open the app.
Subtitles
Six styles, word by word or with the key words highlighted, plus 55 more looks.
Minutes against credits

Knowing what to clip for
That is where the two tools differ most. OpusClip rates every clip for virality. measures your own accounts, similar accounts and your niche every day, and shows you which videos are doing better than normal for their account and why. So you pick clips knowing which hooks and formats work right now.
Both OpusClip and post to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. 's planner also shows you the best times to post, and posting is free on every plan.
