Opus Clip review

Opus Clip turns long videos into short clips for social platforms, handling clip selection, reframing and captions in one workflow. The homepage says its ClipAnything feature can turn any video genre into clips in one click. It also lists AI object tracking for resizing, brand templates, AI B-roll, social scheduling and XML export to Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve.

The scheduler is pitched as a way to schedule a month of posts across platforms in 10 minutes; that is the homepage’s claim, not a guarantee of results. The homepage says more than 20 million creators and businesses use the product. Opus Clip also offers an API and MCP, but the pricing page places the full API, scheduler API, MCP and CMS integrations on its custom-quoted Business plan.

The pricing page lists a Free plan, Starter at $15 per month and Pro at $29 per month. It shows no annual pricing or visible annual-discount toggle.

The appeal is consolidation: Opus Clip combines finding moments, formatting clips, adding captions and scheduling posts instead of leaving each step to a separate tool. AI Reframe uses object tracking, while brand templates can apply fonts, colors, a logo, intro and outro. XML export gives editors a route into Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve when the clip needs more work.

There is a useful step up between the low-cost plans. Starter costs $15 per month and supports local uploads up to 10GB, plus imports from YouTube, Drive, Vimeo and Zoom. It includes watermark-free MP4 exports and one brand template. Pro costs $29 per month and raises local uploads to 30GB, adds public MP4 URL and 10+ import sources, and includes 100GB fixed storage with no export time limit. It also adds up to four brand templates and team workspaces for two users per pack, up to four users.

A commenter in one Reddit thread said the scheduler was the most useful feature. Another reported that clip picks could be hit or miss at first and that cuts sometimes needed manual correction—so the time savings are real, but not necessarily hands-off.

The Free plan is constrained: the pricing page lists local imports up to 10GB per video, 9:16 output only with no reframe customization, MP4 exports capped at 1080p, three-day storage, one brand template and watermarked captions. Starter removes the export watermark, but its AI image B-roll and stock B-roll are each capped at three clips per month. Paying $15 does not buy unlimited B-roll or broader brand control.

Pro’s $29 monthly price brings higher limits, but it still has defined caps: 50 AI image B-roll clips per day, 20 voice-overs per day, and Zapier usage up to 300 credits. Extra Pro seats are sold in packs of two, up to four total, but the price is not published. Business pricing and custom seat and storage limits are also not published, making the API and SSO costs hard to compare before contacting sales.

Reddit users report that clip selection and edits can need human review. If you want full control over every cut, or only need occasional clips, the subscription may be paying for convenience you do not need.

Opus Clip’s listed paid plans are $15/month for Starter and $29/month for Pro. That’s a $14 monthly jump to Pro; the pricing page shows flat monthly rates and no visible annual-discount toggle. Business is custom-quoted, so agencies can’t compare its price from the public listing.

Free is limited: local videos up to 10GB, 9:16 only, watermarked captions and a three-day storage limit. Starter adds imports from YouTube, Drive, Vimeo and Zoom, watermark-free exports, and 30-day storage, but caps AI image and stock B-roll at three clips each per month. Pro raises local-file limits to 30GB, includes 100GB fixed storage, and adds features such as up to four brand templates and a team workspace. Additional Pro seats come in packs of two, up to four users total; their price isn’t published. Pro’s Zapier usage is capped at 300 credits. Check those limits against your workflow before paying for the upgrade.

Moving source videos in is supported through local upload, with limits that vary by plan: up to 10GB per video on Free and Starter, and 30GB on Pro. Starter lists YouTube, Drive, Vimeo and Zoom imports; Pro lists public MP4 URLs and 10+ import sources. The published details don’t explain whether existing Opus Clip projects, edit decisions or templates can be imported from another tool, so budget for rebuilding those rather than assuming a clean project migration.

For leaving, Opus Clip lists XML export to Adobe Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve, plus MP4 export. The available information doesn’t specify what edit data the XML preserves. Storage is another constraint: Free lists three days, Starter 30 days, and Pro 100GB of fixed storage. Download or export work you need before relying on those limits. We weren’t given Reddit posts or comments for this review, so we can’t substantiate reasons users leave Opus Clip or claim a recurring complaint.
