What OpusClip is built for
OpusClip takes a long video, like a podcast, webinar or stream, and picks out moments it thinks will work as shorts. If you have hours of long recordings and want lots of clips fast, it does that well.
Where talking-head videos are different
A three-minute phone take doesn’t need a tool to find the clips. It needs a good edit: the strongest line moved to the front, pauses and restarts cut, captions in your style, and a clean ending.
It also helps to have several versions. You can’t know which opening will make people stop scrolling, so it pays to test a few.
How Cutleap handles it
Upload your clip and say what you want: “make 5 TikToks from this, each with a different hook.” Cutleap makes versions that open differently, such as a question, a bold claim or a mistake people make, and flags any that turn out too similar.
Your logo, fonts and colours go on every version. Then you change things in plain words, like “make the hook faster,” and every earlier version is kept.
Long videos still work
You can upload a podcast or long recording too, and ask for clips around specific topics. See the guide on turning a long video into shorts.

Is Cutleap good for podcasts?
Yes, for picking clips you ask for by topic. If you mostly want hundreds of auto-picked clips from long recordings, a clipping tool may suit you better.
How long can each video be?
Each finished video is up to 60 seconds, which fits TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
