The time has come for content creators to look for a better alternative to Opus Clip.
With the demand for video content growing across social platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and even LinkedIn, creators need a new way to create and share powerful, engaging short clips without spending hours editing.
The popular AI clip makers on the market currently aren’t cutting it.
In this article, we’ll look at the benefits and limitations of Opus Clip and explore some alternative tools currently on the market. We’ll also share why we think AI video agents are the future of content creation for those who want to grow across multiple platforms.
Opus Clip is helpful for repurposing existing video content into short clips for social media, but it is not a true AI agent. Most importantly, it cannot help you create original videos.
Despite this, if you’re only looking for a tool to help you clip down longer videos, Opus Clip does have some valuable features.
However, the platform as a whole is quite limited in terms of customization and editing, relying a little too heavily on manual input. So if you’re trying to streamline your processes and become more efficient, using Opus Clip could have the opposite effect.
Content creation is now a credible career in the U.S. and around the world, with around 303 million people considered part of the global creator economy.
Due to this saturation, however, growth can be challenging. What content creators need are scalable, flexible end-to-end solutions that simplify the process of creating videos while also ensuring strong performance metrics and high engagement.
This is where AI agents come in. AI agents like Argil can automate your entire workflow, from scripting to video production and optimization – saving you hours every single day.
What’s more, AI agents can adapt to your unique style as a creator, helping you generate personalized content that resonates with your target audience. It’s not difficult to see why video AI agents are a much better alternative to Opus Clip and other clipping tools.
Opus Clip pricing isn’t particularly flexible. Although they offer various paid plans beginning at $15 per month, this lower tier is extremely limited, with only 1 brand template and 150 credits available.
Pro plans, unless discounted, are $29 per month. However, this is billed annually, which doesn’t give content creators much freedom or flexibility to cancel or trial other tools.
Let’s look at better alternatives to Opus Clip by examining their core features, suitability for content creators and pricing models.
Argil’s edge is undoubtedly our AI clone technology and ability to create authentic, personality-driven avatars to deliver video scripts.
Our v2 avatars are more hyper-realistic than ever before, with improved expressiveness and lip-syncing. Plus, they’re contextually aware so will automatically adapt their facial expressions and speaking style to match the content in your video script.
You can also use our text-to-video feature to convert blogs, podcast transcripts, emails, Reddit threads, Tweets or PDFs into short, shareable videos – a feature missing from many Opus Pro alternatives.
Built specifically for content creators, Argil provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface for repurposing and generating fresh video content.
Using drag-and-drop features, you can add automatic B-roll, visual transitions and multilingual captions at the click of a button, allowing you to create engaging original videos in under ten minutes.
In terms of pricing, Argil is the most feature-rich AI video tool and the best value for money.
Our Classic plan is billed at $39 per month, which includes full access to all editing features, 3 avatar training credits and 25 video minutes per month. You’ll also be able to access over 100 pre-trained avatars, unlock magic AI editing and integrate with our API.
This tool is designed for content creators and teams who want to repurpose existing materials into short video clips.
Flowjin’s main advantage is its ability to convert a single piece of content into 50 distinct items, allowing creators to distribute content faster and more efficiently.
The platform is very user-friendly and simplifies the content repurposing process, making it accessible to beginners.
Flowjin is suitable for creators, marketing teams, agencies and business owners who want to bulk convert their content for multiple platforms. Like Opus, however, its main selling point is that it allows you to convert longer form videos into short video clips, rather than generate new content.
This tool is not necessarily a better alternative to Opus Clip, but it may offer more flexibility and be easier to use.
Flowjin pricing is more flexible than Opus Clip pricing in that you can choose to pay monthly or yearly.
Packages begin at $9.50 per month for 2.5 hours of video/audio and scale up to $67.50 per month for 50 hours of video/audio, as well as API access and a dedicated account manager.
Vidyo AI (now part of Quso.AI) offers some impressive editing tools, including resizing and reformatting for different platforms. Like Argil, it allows you to create videos quickly, which is essential for maintaining a consistent presence online.
However, some users report that videos often require extensive manual editing and adjustments to achieve a high-quality result, which can end up taking up yet more time when you’re trying to become more efficient.
This tool caters to influencers and content creators looking to create videos quickly for various social platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and even Pinterest.
In addition to its core functionality as an AI video clip maker, Vidyo can also be used to write, transcribe and schedule content. As a video tool, it’s perhaps better suited to those who prioritize speed and efficiency over high-quality results.
Unlike other similar tools, Vidyo offers a free trial with 75 credits per month of no watermark videos. Editing features are limited, however, and there are no resizing options.
Paid plans start at $24 per month for unlimited 1080p exports, scaling up to $49 per month for extra features, advanced analytics and priority support. These packages are more flexible than Opus Clip pricing, as you can choose to pay monthly or yearly.
Klap is specifically for YouTube creators who want to clip their longer videos down to share on YouTube Shorts, TikTok or Instagram.
Its standout features include fast processing of videos and integrated social scheduling, allowing you to automate posts.
As previously mentioned, Klap is tailored to YouTube creators who want to clip their longer videos down into Shorts and clips for social media, so it may not be suitable for all content professionals.
That said, Klap is a valuable tool for YouTube creators who want to distribute their content more broadly and streamline their video clipping process.
Klap might be a better alternative to Opus Clip for YouTubers, but it is more expensive. Paid plans start at $23 per month for 10 video uploads and 100 clips, scaling up to $151 per month for 1000 clips and 4K (rather than HD) downloads. Unlike Opus Clip pricing, you can choose to pay monthly or annually.
2Short.AI is another platform for content creators who want to generate short video clips, particularly for YouTube Shorts.
Its core features include aspect ratio versatility, branded presets, center stage facial tracking and one-click animated subtitles.
2Short.AI is marketed as a YouTube Shorts generator, but it also allows you to generate TikToks and Reels. Like Opus Clip, however, it only allows you to extract clips from longer videos rather than creating original Shorts.
If you only want to create short clips from existing video content, 2Short.AI is a much better alternative to Opus Clip in terms of features and value for money.
2Short.AI offers a free version with 30 minutes of AI video analyzing per month, which includes full access to all features. An upgrade to their Lite plan gives you 5 hours of AI video analyzing per month, 60 minutes of fast exports, no ads and video imports from Google Drive and public URLs.
Their Lite plan costs $9.90 per month, or you can scale up to Pro for $19.90 or Premium for $49.90. These higher tier plans offer more AI analyzing hours, increased exports and priority support.
