Opus Clip
Opus Clip turns long videos into short, viral clips using AI. It's built for fast repurposing, mainly for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
About
Opus Clip
If you’re a creator trying to pump out viral clips from long-form videos in minutes, Opus Clip feels like magic. Drop in a YouTube podcast, webinar, or talking-head video, and boom—it spits out a handful of short clips with snappy cuts and big captions, already framed for social. For speed demons and time-crunched creators, it’s a “drag and done” kind of tool that gets you clips without blinking.
But here’s where the magic wears off: you don’t get much say. You can’t pick the exact moment where your guest dropped that golden quote. You can’t finesse the captions or polish the pacing. Opus decides, not you. If you're an editor, an agency, or just someone who actually cares about tone and timing, this feels like handing your footage to a stranger and hoping for the best. So yeah—it’s fast. But is it your voice, your message, your brand?

OneTake AI
OneTake AI is an AI-powered one-take video editor for course creators that automatically cuts silences and adds captions.
About
OneTake AI
OneTake AI promises to be your AI editor that makes one-take videos look professional. It automatically cuts out silences, creates jump cuts, adds captions, and basically turns your rambling recording into something watchable. If you're pumping out tutorials, courses, or any talking-head content, it could save you hours of editing time.
The flip side? You're trusting AI to make creative decisions about pacing and cuts. Sometimes it nails it, sometimes it might cut out your dramatic pause or comedic timing. And if you want deep control over the final product, you might find yourself fighting the automation. It's great for efficiency, less great for artistic vision. What matters more: saving time or controlling every cut? Balance automation with control using tools that offer both AI-powered trimming and manual editing options for subtitle customization.

Ron Lucarelli
I’ve subscribed to and waded through the various capabilities of this program with workable results. However, there was a lot of self-tutoring involved since there weren’t such instructions forthcoming from the software.
Klinger Lurentt
This software is a break through in technology. It can sabe you tons of time by selecting portions of the video that identifies as potential to become a reel or short.
Dr. JOHN Sheehan
At first, this program was amazing, but with each system upgrade, it has gone from better to worse, and customer service is useless for me now. Give you an example, TikTok over the last 90 days, not one video has been accepted and requires editing, but when I download the same video clip from Opus and manually upload it to TikTok

Revolutionary tool for creation and editing video, OneTake AI is game changer for: creating video, editing, managing transcripts, translating them in other langages...

Amazing goods
Lars Krüger
I'm super angry. Since I've been working with One Take, it doesn't work at all. It is super, super error prone. It is slow and doesn't work properly... I advise everyone to invest in this solution because it is not mature.

Frequently asked questions
How does an AI clip maker work?
An AI clip maker scans long-form videos or podcasts using artificial intelligence to automatically identify the most engaging moments, then slices them into short clips with captions, animations, and transitions. It's a powerful way to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.
One thing to note is that an AI clip generator is not necessarily an AI video generator.
Can AI-generated videos be monetized on YouTube?
Yes, as long as your AI-generated videos follow YouTube's monetization guidelines and add original value—like commentary, visuals, or voiceovers—you can absolutely monetize them. AI tools help you create faster, but your creativity is still the magic ingredient.
How do I add a text-to-speech voiceover?
Most AI video editors have a text-to-speech option built in—just type your script, choose your AI voice, and click generate. It’s an easy way to add professional voiceovers to explainer videos, product demos, or tutorials without recording anything yourself.
How does text-to-video AI work?
Text-to-video AI turns written text prompts into fully edited video content—complete with visuals, animations, subtitles, and voiceovers. It automates video production so creators can go from script to video clips in minutes instead of hours.
How to switch the AI Avatar’s voice category?
Most AI avatar tools have voice categories based on tone or language—you just head to the voice settings and pick a different category (like professional, energetic, or friendly). It’s like casting the perfect voice actor, but instantly.
What are the top AI tools for generating video clips?
Top AI tools like Submagic, Pictory, and Descript make it incredibly easy to generate short clips from long-form content. They handle captions, visuals, templates, and even AI voiceovers—ideal for creators repurposing webinars, podcasts, or YouTube content into snackable, engaging videos for social media platforms.
