About OpusClip
What is OpusClip?
An AI video repurposing tool that finds the strongest moments in long videos and cuts them into short vertical clips. It reframes speakers automatically, adds animated captions and hooks, scores clips for social potential and can schedule posts. OpusClip is a specialised AI tool in the Social Media category that applies machine learning to automate, enhance, or augment tasks in this domain.
Only clip footage you own or have permission to use. Cutting up someone else's interview or broadcast can breach the Copyright Act 1968, even for short clips. If clips feature customers or staff, get their consent for social use, as recognisable people are covered by the Privacy Act 1988. Captions are generated automatically, so check them for errors before posting, especially Australian place names and accents, and make sure edited clips do not misrepresent what a speaker actually said.

Data Residency & Privacy in Australia
OpusClip's privacy policy says the service runs on Google Cloud servers in the United States, and no Australian hosting option is offered. The policy describes an opt-out from AI research and model development for European users by email; Australian customers should ask whether uploaded footage is used for training and request the same opt-out in writing.

Integrations & Compatibility
OpusClip integrates with the tools and platforms your team already uses:
Getting Started with OpusClip in Australia
OpusClip is available directly at opus.pro. Sign up for a trial or free tier to evaluate the tool for your specific use case. Identify one clear workflow to start with, measure results over 30 days, and expand from there. Reach out to the vendor's support team for onboarding guidance.
Outside help is most useful when the tool has to connect to existing systems, handle personal information, or be rolled out to a whole team. AI Lab Australia works with businesses across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide on that setup.

Frequently Asked Questions About OpusClip
Where does OpusClip store uploaded videos?
OpusClip runs on Google Cloud servers located in the United States. Free-plan projects are stored for a limited period, while paid plans keep projects longer. If footage shows customers, patients or staff, treat the upload as an overseas disclosure of personal information and confirm you have consent for both editing and social posting.
Can I use OpusClip for free?
Yes. The free plan processes a limited amount of video each month, adds a watermark to exports and keeps projects for a short time. Paid plans remove the watermark, add processing credits, faster turnaround and team workspaces, and a custom Business tier adds SSO. Check opus.pro/pricing for current allowances.
Can I clip videos I found on YouTube?
Only if you own them or have permission. Clipping someone else's interview, podcast or broadcast and posting it can infringe the Copyright Act 1968, even when the clips are short, and Australian fair dealing exceptions are narrower than US fair use. Stick to your own content or footage licensed for reuse.
