OpusClip is an 🏷️#ai-powered 🏷️#video-editor, launched in 2022, that turns long-form video into short, captioned clips formatted for vertical platforms such as 📝TikTok, 📝YouTube Shorts, and 📝Instagram Reels. A user uploads a video or pastes a link, and its models select the moments most likely to stand on their own, rank each with a predicted virality score, and export them with captions, layouts, and transitions. A free plan includes 60 processing minutes per month, and paid tiers are priced by credits.
OpusClip Inc. was founded in January 2022 by Young Zhao, its CEO, and Grace Wang. It announced $30 million in combined seed and 📝Series A funding in August 2024, with the Series A led by Millennium New Horizons, followed in March 2025 by $20 million from 📝SoftBank Vision Fund 2 at a reported $215 million valuation. The company reports more than 20 million users, from podcasters, streamers, and solo creators to marketing and media teams, with enterprise customers including 📝HubSpot and 📝Vox Media. It belongs to a wave of AI repurposing tools that automate the editing labor at the center of the 📝Clip Economy, where short excerpts of podcasts, livestreams, and shows often reach far larger audiences than the source content.
