OpusClip alternative

Looking for an OpusClip alternative? Compare the best AI clip makers and editors by workflow, captions, exports, and pricing.

The best OpusClip alternative depends on what you actually want to replace: clip selection, captions, publishing, or the upstream rough-cut and logging work. OpusClip is optimized for “turn long-form into shorts,” so the strongest alternatives are other highlight and clipping systems or tools that make the source edit easier so clips are cheaper to produce.
