Clipus
Opus Clip| Turn videos into viral TikToks, Reels & Shorts
Clipus is a desktop app: AI highlight-finding, word-level transcripts, animated captions, and 9:16 export all render locally on your PC. Bring your own OpenAI/Groq key (no markup), or skip AI with free offline Whisper transcription. One-time $20 lifetime, no watermark, no caps, nothing uploaded.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Muzammil, a solo developer, and I built Clipus because I got tired of the same trade-off every AI clipping tool forces on you: upload your footage to someone else's server, wait in a render queue, and pay a subscription forever — even for months you don't clip anything.
Clipus is a desktop app instead. Everything — transcription, AI highlight-finding, captioning, 9:16 reframing, rendering — runs locally on your own PC with ffmpeg and Whisper. Your video never leaves your machine.
A few things I'm especially proud of:
🔑 BYOK, no markup — plug in your own OpenAI or Groq key for AI highlight-finding and pay the provider directly. I don't proxy or mark up your API usage at all.
🎙️ Free offline transcription — local Whisper with word-level timestamps, unlimited use, no key needed. Good for long podcasts you don't want anywhere near the cloud.
💸 $20 once, not $20/month — a lifetime license costs less than a single month of most cloud alternatives.
⚡ You can also skip AI entirely with Smart Manual Mode — auto-splits your video into clips by length, completely free, zero API calls.
I'm the only person behind this (support, bug fixes, feature requests — all me), so I'll be in these comments all day. Would genuinely love to hear:
What's the most annoying part of your current clipping workflow?
Anything that would make you switch from what you use now?
Try the free trial and let me know what breaks — thank you for checking it out! 🙏
Love that it runs locally and the lifetime price is fair. One thing that would make it a daily driver for me is a built-in clip scheduler that pushes finished shorts straight to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Reels via API, so I can batch a week's content in one sitting instead of uploading manually each time.
honestly this looks great for clipping my streams, one thing though — would be really cool if you could batch process multiple long videos at once and just come back to a folder of clips ready to go, right now i think it does them one at a time which would be kind of tedious for me
