Opus Clip Review | My First Impressions after 3 months

Introduction

Hey everyone, it's Juwel Talentino here from Estino Media. On this channel, we focus on helping you create profitable content. Today, I'll be sharing my honest review of Opus Clip, an AI tool that simplifies the process of generating short clips from longer videos, such as those you may have on your YouTube channel or podcast.

What is Opus Clip?

Opus Clip is an AI-powered tool designed to create short, engaging clips from lengthy video content. This is particularly beneficial for repurposing material into bite-sized pieces that can easily be shared on social media platforms, enhancing your reach and engagement. For example, consider a clip that encapsulates the idea, "Are you getting 1% better or 1% worse?" This engaging question encourages viewers to think deeply about their daily progress, a concept introduced in James Clear's bestselling book, Atomic Habits.

The Benefits of Using Opus Clip

Opus Clip promises users the ability to extract 10 viral clips from a single long video, which drastically reduces the amount of time required to generate promotional content. Prior to my experience with Opus, I manually sifted through videos, looking for exciting moments to condense into short clips. This process was labor-intensive, especially for a video that could be an hour long.

Getting Started with Opus Clip

Once you sign up for Opus Clip, you’ll be greeted with a simple interface that encourages you to get started. The tool works best with talking videos, making it suitable for educational content, motivational speeches, and product reviews.

To create a clip:

Paste Video Link: Simply paste the link of your video (from YouTube, Google Drive, Rumble, or Zoom) into the designated field on the Opus Clip dashboard.
Set Duration: You have the option to set the duration and specify whether you want clips of less than 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or 90 seconds.
Generate Clips: Click the “Get Clips” button and wait for the AI to process your video. Depending on its length, this can take anywhere from a few minutes to longer. You'll receive an email notification once it's ready.

After the AI generates potential clips, you will receive a selection to review. In my case, I received seven clips from an eight-minute video, a major time saver compared to manually reviewing the footage.

Customization and Downloading

Each clip generated by Opus includes a preview feature so you can assess the content quickly. Opus also assigns a virality score, estimating the likelihood of the clip performing well on platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels. Additionally, the tool recommends engaging titles that can be easily used for uploading.

You can download the clips directly, and I appreciate the branding options available that allow you to customize colors to align with your logo or theme.

Pricing

Opus Clip offers a free plan that I encouraged you to try initially. After experiencing its benefits, I opted for the Essential Plan, which grants me 200 minutes of video processing per month, with unused minutes rolling over.

In summary, Opus Clip is an excellent tool for businesses, educational content creators, or anyone producing video content. The time and effort savings are substantial, and the quality of the resultant clips is commendable.

If you're interested in giving Opus Clip a try, I recommend starting with the free plan to see how well it suits your needs. You can find the link in the description below.
