Video Summary
This tutorial provides a comprehensive review and guide for Opus Clip, an AI-powered software designed to repurpose long-form videos into short, viral content for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Core Features and Workflow:
- One-Click Repurposing: Simply paste a YouTube link or upload a file. The AI automatically identifies the most engaging segments and cuts them into short clips with subtitles [00:50].
- Credit Saving Tip: To save on your account’s allotted minutes, use the Credit Saver tool to select a specific time range from the original video rather than processing the entire file [09:49].
- Virality Score: The AI assigns each generated clip a “viral score” (out of 100), predicting its potential success based on its hook and flow [15:06].
- In-App Editing: Use the Edit Clip feature to customize captions, change highlighting colors, or adjust the video layout. The “Fit” layout hack allows you to maintain the full 16:9 original footage within a vertical frame without upgrading to a Pro plan [19:05].
- AI Subtitles: The software is praised for its high-accuracy captions, which are powered by the same logic behind ChatGPT (OpenAI) [18:10].
- Free Trial vs. Paid: New users get a generous initial trial (around 90-120 minutes) with access to paid features. Once exhausted, the free tier includes watermarks and restricted editing [02:30].
