FAQs

OpusClip or Repurpose.io: which do I need?

OpusClip uses AI to cut a long video into short clips, with captions and reframing for vertical formats. Repurpose.io takes content you have already posted on one platform and republishes it to others automatically, with watermarks removed.

What are the limits of OpusClip's free plan?

Free clips carry a watermark, export up to 1080p, and must be exported within 3 days before media expires. It works for testing, not for a regular posting schedule.
