Used For

• +**Your 2-hour podcast sits unwatched while competitors crush it on social** → OpusClip finds the best moments, crops them vertical, adds captions automatically
• +**You're manually scrubbing through webinar footage looking for quotable moments** → AI analyzes speech patterns and pulls clips it thinks will go viral
• +**Your YouTube channel needs Shorts but editing takes forever** → One upload becomes 8-12 ready-to-post clips in minutes
• +Virality score predictions - tells you which clips are most likely to blow up before you post
• +Auto-reframing keeps speakers centered even when they move around

Best For

• >You're creating long content but social media feels like a second full-time job
• >Your amazing webinar got 47 views but deserves better
• >You know you should be on TikTok but editing makes you want to cry

Not For

• -Perfectionists who want frame-by-frame control — this is AI-first, human editing second
• -Teams creating highly visual content where context matters more than soundbites
• -Anyone uncomfortable with uploading content to cloud servers for AI processing

Pairs With

• *YouTube (where your long-form content lives before getting chopped up)
• *TikTok (one-click publishing of your new vertical clips)
• *Instagram (auto-posting to Reels without reformatting)
• *Canva (for custom thumbnails since OpusClip focuses on the video part)
• *Buffer (to schedule your clip army across all platforms)
• *Riverside (record your podcast, then feed it straight to OpusClip)

The Catch

• !The AI picks moments based on 'viral patterns' but your audience might care about different things
• !You're trusting a robot to understand your brand voice and context
• !Free tier adds watermarks and gives you just 60 minutes of processing per month

Bottom Line

Your podcast becomes 10 social clips without touching an editor — if you're okay with AI deciding what's viral.
