I love this tool. I found it by accident a few months ago and have been telling my clients about it constantly since then. It felt time to share it with you, too.
Me and my clients have been using it to create high quality short-form content quickly and easily, some of which have generated more than 1,000,000 views (and a good number of conversions!).
The tool is called Opus Clip.
Put short, it takes a long video clip and automatically cuts it into short clips for you.
The AI selects the most interesting parts of the video, cuts the clip, and then does everything required to make the video look great (auto-captions, auto-reframes, etc).
I have been using it to create short ‘soundbite’ style clips from recordings of my podcast appearances. Clients have used it with their YouTube videos, speech recordings, course content, and many more.
You can see an example of what Opus does on my LinkedIn post here.
The free trial is great (and it doesn’t require a credit card or anything). Well worth giving it a shot.

💡 Quote I'm pondering
"A journey of 1000 miles starts with a single step” - Lao Tzu
To start something is often the hardest part. While I do believe the proverb “One finish is worth 100 starts”, people often wait too long to get started.
Your first email will suck, your first offer will suck, your first workout will suck, your first speech will suck, your first anything usually sucks.
But you can’t be good at something until you have been bad.
Put the ego aside, get started.
Get started, then be open to adapting and trying new things. Improve as you go.
