About OpusClip (OpusLab Inc.)
OpusClip, operated by OpusLab Inc., is a San Francisco-based AI video editing company founded in 2022. The platform is designed to automate the process of repurposing long-form video content into short-form clips suitable for social media distribution. The company was co-founded by Jason Liang, who serves as CEO.
The platform's primary product analyzes uploaded or linked videos to identify segments deemed likely to perform well on short-form platforms, then automatically adds captions, reframes footage for vertical formats, and enables publishing to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. OpusClip targets content creators, marketers, and media teams looking to scale video output without manual editing. The product includes features such as AI-generated captions, speaker detection, and a virality score that ranks clips by predicted engagement.
OpusClip raised a $13.5 million Series A round, with participation from investors including GSR Ventures. The company has grown its user base substantially since launch and competes in the AI video repurposing space alongside tools such as Descript and Vidyo.ai. As of available data, the company employs between 51 and 200 people.

Repurposes long-form video and even blog posts into branded highlight reels for marketers, using a template-driven workflow rather than OpusClip's algorithmic viral-clip selection.
