OpusClip turns a long video or a podcast into short clips with captions, and the paid card can post those clips. Checked on 2026-10-17, the pricing HTML at opus.pro/pricing came back as a normal page. The product host is opus.pro. This directory lists the tool as opusclip. The page is a selection note for people who already hold a long recording and want vertical candidates for YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels. A figure the extract did not print is not observed.

Who it's for

OpusClip fits a podcaster, an interviewer, or a YouTube host who already owns the long file. The job on the card is candidate clips, animated captions, and a post or a download. Starter is the first paid row that names AI clipping, a Virality Score, captions in 20+ languages, and auto-post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. Pro is the row that adds a two-seat workspace, a larger credit pool, rollover, and a short list of extras: AI B-Roll, speech enhancement, video dubbing, and Limited API Access.

A timeline you drive by hand, with a reframe and everyday captions, is CapCut. Caption-first shorts on a per-member plan are Submagic. A cover or a thumbnail after the clip exists is Canva. A narrated explainer from a blog, a script, or a URL is Pictory. A short that is created and posted from a credit plan, without a long master on that card, is Revid. A presenter who was never in the source is HeyGen. A cast-led product ad is Creatify. A named replacement voice, when the dubbing line does not name a speaker, is ElevenLabs.

The matching path on this site is long-to-short. When the words are already on the clip and the type, the safe area, or the cover still fails, the next path is captions and covers.

What it does

A long video or a podcast goes in. Short clips with captions come out. On Starter, those clips can auto-post or download. The site sells that loop as the product. This check did not open the editor, so timeline controls, caption fonts, and export containers beyond the pricing bullets are not observed.

Free forever is $0 a month. The card gives it 60 credits a month, output up to 1080p, a watermark, and limited editing. The same free extract contains a retention fragment. The visible wording stops at "After 3 days, the clips w…" The rest of that sentence was truncated, so the full retention rule is not observed. This page does not complete the sentence. It does not guess deletion, a download lock, or a second watermark.

Starter is $15 a month, and the card presents that price as monthly only. It lists 150 credits a month, AI clipping, a Virality Score, animated captions in 20+ languages, auto-post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels or a download, one brand template, filler and silence removal, and removal of the watermark. Pro lists 300 credits a month, unused credits that roll over for two months, a team workspace with two seats, two brand templates, six social connections, AI B-Roll, speech enhancement, Limited API Access, and video dubbing. Business is custom. The extract says API and more, and it says to make contact.

The map from one credit to one minute of source, or to one minute of export, was not fully itemized beyond those pools. The language list behind "20+", the formula for the Virality Score, the burn for AI B-Roll, and any dubbing language or minute cap were not observed.

Pricing tiers

Verified on 2026-10-17 against opus.pro/pricing. The table is that HTML, not a later promo. If checkout shows another currency, checkout is the charge.

Plan	Price in the extract	Credits	What the card named
Free forever	$0/mo	60/mo	Up to 1080p, watermark, limited editing. Retention line truncated after "After 3 days, the clips w…"
Starter	$15 USD/mo, monthly only	150/mo	AI clipping, Virality Score, animated captions in 20+ languages, auto-post or download, 1 brand template, filler and silence removal, watermark removed
Pro	$29 USD/mo, or $14.5 USD/mo with $174 billed annually	300/mo	Rollover for 2 months, team workspace with 2 seats, 2 brand templates, 6 social connections, AI B-Roll, speech enhancement, Limited API Access, video dubbing
Business	Custom, contact	not observed	API and more

Twelve times $14.5 is $174. The Pro annual display and the billed-annually total are the same offer, written two ways. Twelve times the $29 monthly card is $348. The extract did not print a save line beside Pro, so this page does not invent a percent-off label. It only records those two multiplications. Starter showed no annual price. Free showed none. Business showed no dollar sticker.

Rollover for two months is written on Pro. Whether Free, Starter, or Business credits roll was not observed. The price of a seat beyond the two included on Pro was not observed. Starter's seat count was not observed. One brand template is a template count, and this page does not read it as a seat count. Pro names six social connections and does not list the six networks. Starter names three auto-post destinations and does not print a connection count. Features written on the Pro bullet were not repeated as yes or no on Starter, so this page does not build a locked comparison the HTML did not print.

Pros

Free, Starter, and Pro each print a dollar amount and a monthly credit pool, so a first budget does not require a sales call.
Pro's $14.5 monthly display and the $174 annual bill agree. Multiplying $14.5 by 12 lands on $174.
Starter names the creator job in plain product language: clipping, a Virality Score, animated captions, watermark removal, and auto-post or download.
Pro puts rollover, two seats, six social connections, and Limited API Access on the same card as the $29 price.
Homepage and product copy market a video API and Video MCP, so a team evaluating agents can see the claim before it looks for a docs URL.

Cons

The pricing extract does not convert credits into minutes. Pools of 60, 150, and 300 are real, and the credit-to-minute map was not fully itemized.
The free retention rule is a truncated sentence. Planning a deletion policy from "After 3 days" would invent the missing words.
Starter is monthly only on the card. A yearly Starter invoice was not observed.
Limited API Access has no base URL, no auth scheme, and no definition of the word limited. Video MCP is a marketing phrase here, and no server URL was printed.
Business is custom. Its credit pool, its seat price, and what "API and more" adds past Pro were not observed.

Usage flow

Start from a long video or a podcast you have the right to cut. Read Free as $0, 60 credits a month, up to 1080p, a watermark, and limited editing. Leave the truncated "After 3 days" line unresolved until the product shows the rest of the rule.
Choose Starter at $15 a month when you need the watermark gone, the Virality Score, animated captions, and auto-post or a download. Move to Pro when you need 300 credits, two-month rollover, two seats, or the Pro extras, and pay either $29 a month or $174 billed annually.
If the clip still needs a hand timeline or a cover, finish in CapCut or Canva. If video dubbing does not name a voice you can accept, replace the read in ElevenLabs.

Workflow usage

On long-to-short, OpusClip is the batch clipper for a long file you can distribute. The output the card describes is short clips and captions. Starter adds a post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram Reels, or a download. CapCut stays the hand bench when you already know the in and out and want the reframe, the type, and the export in one timeline. OpusClip's meter on this extract is the credit pool. Because the credit-to-minute rate was not fully itemized, a weekly hour of source cannot be turned into a plan choice from this page alone. Count credits in the product after the first upload, then match that burn to 60, 150, or 300.

On captions and covers, the caption claim is Starter's animated captions in 20+ languages. Safe-zone insets, font controls, and a cover or thumbnail spec were not observed on the pricing extract. When the words are burned in and the frame still fails, move the file to CapCut for the timeline and to Canva for the cover. Submagic is the other caption-first plan checked the same day, with its own per-member prices and duration lines.

A narrated video that does not start from a long recording belongs on Pictory. A create-and-publish short whose card does not start from that long file belongs on Revid. A face that was never in the recording belongs on HeyGen or, for a product-led cast, on Creatify.

Underlying models

No video model and no speech model was named on the 2026-10-17 pricing extract. AI clipping, Virality Score, AI B-Roll, speech enhancement, animated captions, and video dubbing are feature names on a plan card. They are not a model card. This page does not list OpusClip as a host for a named generator. The vendor behind dubbing, the voice count, cloning, and the language list for dubbing were not observed. When the speaker has to be a named voice, use ElevenLabs and keep OpusClip on the clip. When a cutaway has to be a named video model, generate that shot in a tool that prints the model, then bring the file back. Those hops spend a different meter. They do not draw on the 60, 150, or 300 credits until OpusClip prints a model name and a burn rate.

API and MCP

has_api is true because the Pro card lists Limited API Access and the Business line lists API, and homepage and product copy market a video API that "every AI agent can call." The 2026-10-17 pricing extract did not print a base URL, an auth scheme, a docs URL, or a rate limit, so this entry sets no api_url. What the word limited restricts, which routes exist, and whether a call spends the same monthly credits were not observed. Business says "API and more" and does not itemize the extra routes.

mcp.official is false. Homepage and product copy market "Video MCP." No official MCP server URL was in the extract, so there is no mcp.url. A marketing name is not an address a client can add. Guessing a path on opus.pro would invent an endpoint. Copy a URL only from a developer page that prints one.

For a printed creator endpoint, use HeyGen, Creatify, or ElevenLabs. Revid described an API, an MCP server, and a CLI on the plans checked for that product, still without a host string in its own extract. CapCut had no public creator API on its check. An OpusClip key does not authenticate those other products.

Similar tools

Submagic is the caption-first peer, priced per member, with a plan literally named Business + API. Its duration lines are 2 minutes on Starter and 5 minutes on Pro. OpusClip's published meter here is credits, and the minute map was not fully itemized.
CapCut is the timeline, the vertical reframe, and the everyday caption pass. It fits when the segment is already chosen. OpusClip fits when the product should propose clips from a long file and can post them.
Revid sells create-and-publish shorts with Auto-Mode workers. Pictory starts from a blog, a script, or a URL and lays stock under an AI voice. Neither card, on the checks filed here, is the long-master clipper.
Canva is the cover and the thumbnail after a clip exists. HeyGen and Creatify supply a person who was not in the recording. ElevenLabs supplies a voice the dubbing line did not name.

FAQ

How many minutes do 60, 150, or 300 credits buy?

The pricing extract does not say. Free is 60 credits a month, Starter is 150, and Pro is 300. A credits-per-minute rate was not fully itemized, so this directory does not convert those pools into source minutes, export minutes, or a post count. Read the balance the product shows after a real upload.

Does the free plan delete clips after 3 days?

The extract includes the opening words "After 3 days, the clips w…" and then the sentence is cut off. The rest of the retention rule is not observed. A guessed deletion, a guessed archive, or a guessed extra watermark is not the policy.

Is Pro $14.5 a month or $174 a year?

Both numbers are on the card, and they describe the annual offer. The monthly Pro card is $29. The annual display is $14.5 a month with $174 billed annually. $14.5 times 12 equals $174. Starter did not show an annual price. Business did not show a dollar price.

Does OpusClip have an API and an official MCP server?

Limited API Access is a Pro line, and Business lists API, so has_api is true. No base URL was in the pricing extract. Homepage and product copy market Video MCP, and no server URL was printed, so mcp.official is false. Add an endpoint only after the vendor prints the URL.

Which plan removes the watermark and can post to TikTok?

Starter, at $15 a month, lists watermark removal and auto-post to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels, or a download. Free lists a watermark. Auto-post on Free was not observed, because that action is not in the free bullet. Pro lists six social connections and does not restate the three network names in the extract used here.
