Opus Clip
AI tool that automatically turns long videos into viral short clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
Opus Clip is the best long-to-short video tool on the market right now. It genuinely delivers on the promise of turning a 30-minute video into 10 usable short clips with minimal effort. The AI clipping is surprisingly good at finding engaging moments. But it's a starting point, not a finished product -- you'll still want to review and tweak the clips before posting. At $15-29/mo, it pays for itself if you're regularly repurposing content.
