- 1.Go to opus.pro and create a free account. Click «Sign up» - no credit card needed. New users get a 7-day Pro trial, then a free plan with 60 minutes of processing per month.
Free plan is permanent, not a trial. But clips are stored for only 3 days - download right after generation or you'll lose them.
OpusClip ↗ - 2.On the main screen, click «New Project» → «Clip». Paste a link to your video from YouTube, Zoom, Loom, or Google Drive - or upload the file directly using «Upload».
One credit = one minute of source video. A 30-minute video uses 30 credits, regardless of how many clips you get.
OpusClip ↗ - 3.Before running, set clip parameters in settings: video language → clip length (30-60 seconds recommended) → genre (Podcast / Vlog / Interview / Other). Paste your prompt in the «Clip Prompt» field so the AI finds exactly the moments you need.
A prompt is optional but greatly improves results for niche content. Without it, the AI picks moments on its own.
OpusClip ↗PromptFind the most surprising, emotional, or counterintuitive moments about [your topic, for example: productivity hacks / crypto investing / fitness myths]. Prioritize moments where the speaker says something unexpected or gives a concrete example. Clip length: 30-60 seconds.
What this prompt doesThis prompt asks the AI to find the most unexpected, emotional, or unconventional moments on your topic and cut short 30-60 second clips. Replace [your topic] with your own, for example 'investing', 'weight loss', or 'psychology'. - 4.Click «Get Clips» and wait 3-7 minutes. OpusClip will process the video and deliver a list of ready clips, automatically formatted in vertical 9:16 format with captions.
Virality Score (0-100 rating) is not available on the free plan. It unlocks with Starter ($15/month) or higher.
OpusClip ↗ - 5.Review the generated clips. Discard weak ones (typically 20-40% will need to be removed). Download the best clips using «Download» - the free plan includes an OpusClip watermark.
To remove the watermark, you need Starter ($15/month) or Pro ($29/month). If clips are for testing or personal use, the watermark isn't critical. Don't upload videos with confidential data - material is processed on OpusClip servers.
OpusClip ↗ - 6.Publish clips manually to TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts. Paid plans (Pro) offer direct publishing and scheduling from OpusClip.
Auto-publishing and scheduler are Pro only ($29/month). On free and Starter plans, you download files and upload manually.
