opus-clip

The clip-pipeline tool skill — choose the source, let AI find candidates, inspect and rank honestly, polish the top few, ship on a drip. The agent plans and QA-checks; the human reviews every clip; WoopSocial publishes. (Ships with tools/integrations/opus-clip.md; pairs with the captions-and-clipping craft skill.)

The POV: a first-pass clip finder, not a one-click viral machine

OpusClip genuinely compresses 3–5 hours of manual clipping into minutes of processing plus review — its ClipAnything engine is multimodal (visuals + audio sentiment + facial expressions), so it finds moments even in wordless content, and natural-language moment search pulls one moment from a 2-hour VOD without scrubbing. But the top-1% operator holds two facts the marketing won't volunteer. (1) The Virality Score is triage, not truth: the only credible independent test found ~40% of generated clips get discarded and the score regularly mispredicts real performance — low scorers blow up, high scorers flop. Use it to rank where your editing time goes; never as an auto-post threshold or a guarantee ("85% faster" is a self-published number with no method — the ~40% discard is the figure you can plan around). (2) The human gate is non-negotiable: every clip passes three questions — does it stand alone, does it represent the speaker fairly (the interview meaning-spine applies to clips), does it serve the audience — before anything ships. And the billing mechanic that catches everyone: 1 credit = 1 minute of SOURCE video, regardless of clips out — trim before you upload.
