Trint

Trint is an AI transcription platform for journalists and researchers that converts audio and video to searchable, editable text.

About

Trint

Trint turns your audio and video into searchable, editable text—fast. Journalists love it because they can search hours of interviews for that one quote. The collaborative features mean teams can work on transcripts together, and you can export captions or even create basic video edits from the text. It's about making spoken content as easy to work with as a Google Doc.

But let's be clear—this isn't Final Cut Pro. The video features are secondary to the transcription powers. You can make rough cuts based on text, but you're not adding visual effects or doing color correction. It's a transcription platform with some video tricks, not a video editor with transcription. What's your main need: working with spoken content or creating visual stories? For full video production with transcription, combine automatic transcription with comprehensive editing tools and social media caption generation.

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?

Mark Hawkins

Excellent customer support!! Was speaking with Olga who was very helpful and speedy in getting back to me. The issue had nothing to do with Trint itself, but an ex-employee of ours and Olga was quick to help and got it sorted.

Nick

Trint is a top notch AI transcription service with excellent customer support.

Mrs Skudder

We are a small company with a TRINT license - we were on a one year subscription - which we didn't use - for £3600. We emailed the company informing them that the sub ended at the end of Jan 2025 - back in May. We have now been told we haven't given 60 days notice to cancel - and they are now trying to charge £2000 for a product we don't use. Shocking customer service.

Reviews

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

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.
