Opus Clip is the one AI clipper I've stopped reflexively rolling my eyes at. Drop in a 90-minute interview, get back ten or so candidates that aren't embarrassing.
We assessed Opus Clip alongside the rest of our video reviews, including DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro, so the score below is relative to that field.
The ranking is smarter than the competition. It actually weighs whether the clip starts on a thought, ends on a payoff, and has anything resembling a hook. That used to be a unicorn.
You will still re-cut, re-caption, and re-frame. But it gets you from blank canvas to ten drafts in the time it took to make one. That's the whole point.
| PLAN | PRICE | WHAT YOU GET |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $29 /mo | ~150 min uploads |
| Pro | $65 /mo | ~600 min uploads |
| Business | see vendor | custom volume |
