Opus Clip Full Guide: Features & Tips — Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] Hello everyone, we are finally talking about what is Opus Clip in this full Opus Clip guide. If you're watching live or in this replay, we are talking Opus Clip. I am so excited to be here.

[00:13] You can ask your questions and I will get to them whether you're watching live in the replay. So Opus Clip is one of my favorite solutions when it comes to video editing and making shorts easy. So, if you are just joining us, I do need to at the top mention that Opus Clip is a sponsor of this channel.

[00:28] However, they did not sponsor this live stream. These opinions are my own, but they are friendly with the channel. I want to put that up front. Now, I see we have some people who are already waiting for the live stream. English Fun Zone, welcome.

[00:40] We have Ike's Attempted Gaming, aka Ike, my co-founder from the community. So, if you've never seen Opus Clip, let's get right into it. So, Opus Clip here, one video, one everything here.

[00:54] So, let's go ahead, and I want to change how I show my screen so you guys can get a better look. So, right off the bat, for pro users, I'm going to go ahead. For the pro plan, we support videos from all these places.

[01:08] They support over 20 languages. We will have a link in the description for a free trial. It is an affiliate link, but if you are just joining us, you've never used Opus Clip before, now is the time to get started. So, it is the number one AI video clipping tool, according to their website,

[01:22] and it is one long video, 10 viral clips, create 10 times faster. And we are going to get a real-life example of that today. I am so excited to be doing this. And if you're watching, we're going to be pulling channels, some of the videos.

[01:36] If you give permission, we can make shorts from this. We are in for such a good time. We're going to be doing so much when it comes to Opus Clips. So, really excited to get here. and I just wanted to say thank you everyone who supports the channel, who watches the content.

[01:51] We could not do it without all of you. We are definitely having a lot of fun today. We are already live on the Opus Clips YouTube channel. So, if you are just joining us, I see a couple more people have, we are going over what is Opus Clips.

[02:05] Now, one of the best ways to get content from your content that exists is you can either upload your own videos. So a question I get asked is, do I have to use a YouTube link or can I upload something brand new?

[02:18] You absolutely can upload something brand new. That's what the upload files are for. You can also use one of the many different places they support. So your YouTube videos is what we're going to use today.

[02:30] Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Loom, Riverside, StreamYard, and more. Now, I'm using StreamYard at the time of this live stream, and that's what we have put in. I see Pilates with Jen.

[02:43] He says, hi, everyone. I see Kenneth Von Diesel, who I believe is now a channel member, thanks to our friends over at Tube Spanner. If you are just joining, we are talking about Opus Clips. So the best way I find to do this, and there are multiple different ways.

[02:56] This is my favorite, I should say, is if you're looking to get into content here, if you have never gone live or if you've ever done things, we're going to pull up my YouTube channel. What I'm going to do is I want to show from, you know, we did this Master the Art of YouTube title.

[03:10] This is actually a really fun live stream. So we're going to take the link, copy it over into Opus Clip, drop it here, and click Get Free Clips. That is how simple it is. We've got our link.

[03:22] You may see my face here again. Friendly reminder, if you're just joining us, they are friends at the channel. So there's a couple ways we can do this. Now, I'm going to be using the pro version. I'm going to go ahead and zoom on in.

[03:35] So if you're wondering, how do Opus Clip credits work? So let's talk about credits right at the top. So, one minute of about video processing is about one credit. You get a certain amount for free in the free trial, and by using it, of course, you get more if you pay.

[03:48] There's a lot of different options in the pricing. You can, if you already have it, upload an SRT file, which can help just with caption accuracy. However, the language of Opix is very good, and then you can select one of the many different languages it supports.

[04:01] So, if you speak multiple languages and maybe want to give that a try, that might make sense, especially if you have original audio and you want to test these different languages out, there are a lot of them there. Now, another thing we can do is, as we're going through,

[04:15] is we could easily, you know, with the clipping model, so if you're using the free one, I believe you have access to basic, but I'm going to use Clip Anything, their smartest model, for really any videos. now just because we're focusing on you know this one doesn't mean that you can't use the other

[04:42] it's really up to you i just want to use their best model you can use the other ones you can even let it detect for you now because i'm going to be using this for youtube shorts i want to go ahead and put the select link for 30, 30 to 59, and then 60 to 89 in 92, three minutes. So we have

[05:00] a lot of different choices, a lot of different options. So another thing I want to ask is if you're joining us here, are you repurposing long form content or not? Let me know why or why not. For me, the answer is yes. It has been a huge benefit. In fact, I've been repurposing a little

[05:15] bit more strategically over the last month. And usually my average views per month are about, you know, anywhere between 30 to 40 this month. We're getting closer to about 50 to 70K views, and I'm really excited about that.

[05:28] So that is what I would say. MMA Office is asking, do they do partnerships with creators? In full transparency, I am a brand partner to Office Clips, so the answer is yes. So they have a whole section on their thing.

[05:42] Sign up as an affiliate. You know, we have an affiliate link, a full disclosure in the description that gives you a free trial, but that is one of the easiest and best ways, if you're wanting to work with not only OpusClub, but any brand, sign up for their affiliate program. Show that you can make momentum.

[05:55] And then it's a lot easier to go for that. Now, English Fun Zone says no because it clips in the wrong places. That is more than fair. I would say if you haven't used it in a while, a lot of times what I've noticed is that you can really fine-tune it.

[06:08] You can use the editor to get it better. I understand, however, if it is not finding those right moments. They take feedback really seriously. so there were a couple people that, you know, Tish, who's a fan and friend of the channel,

[06:20] she was using it for hand motion detection, and actually it's gotten so good that she now uses it, so again, to that bit of feedback, there's that. Now, if you have any questions while we're going, please feel free to ask them.

[06:33] You know, there are no bad questions, and we're just here to have some fun and get some stuff done. It is a very useful tool, to the MMA Hold's point there. I find it very useful. And even if you don't use it for, you know, clipping, there's so much more you can do with it.

[06:50] In fact, what I'm going to do is use it during this live stream to show off something pretty cool, which is I'm going to get captions, chapters, so much from this. So now we can let the model choose for us.

[07:02] Now this is a very much education-based, right? I would say not very entertaining, but definitely gives talking head because I'm talking to you like I am right now. It's definitely when I'm looking here giving, I would say, maybe commentary, but marketing webinar feels right.

[07:19] Now, you can edit these even further, right? You can go for best scenes compilation. I don't really think I have much emotional story. If I wanted to, I could deselect that. You know, you can really fine-tune it and make it a little bit better.

[07:32] I don't think emotional story makes sense, so I fine-tune that. Commentary, again, you might see some similar stuff, but some differences. And then finally, we have, you know, some specific moments. So we can prompt.

[07:45] Now, trust me, prompting is hard. I could probably make a whole video, you know. That is one of those things where I can probably make a whole video. I'm not even sure. That could maybe be a fun one, how to prompt better, because I trust I can do that.

[07:59] From Monica, or Monique, sorry, Monique, sometimes you have to tweak it. Sometimes I'm not centered, but that's more on me. So if you're not exactly centered, there is a way with their detection tool to help you figure out subject focusing,

[08:12] and we can get into that a little bit later. This is a call to, if you are watching this live stream, if you're just joining us, welcome. I want to go ahead and put your clips in here, so let's see it. I want people in the replay to see the value.

[08:24] There will be chapters under this, and that's actually chapters I use making Opus clips, so a little bit of a secret there. So, yeah, just wanted to say, just saying hi and can't wait for the vibe. Oprah saves me so much time.

[08:36] This is Preston. Happy to see you, Preston McNair. So do you upload your video before uploading to YouTube or work it after as well with a link from YouTube? You can do either way, Camas, Lombees, or whatever.

[08:49] So if you want, you can do a video you have uploaded. You can do a live YouTube link. It's up to you to fit your needs. So for this one, this is a live stream I've done, but I've actually had net new YouTube uploads and have put them in, and it was actually super helpful for me.

[09:02] so in this one in this live stream find the moment most likely to go viral could be something i do but there are lots of different prompts if you need help there are ones here find all the moments i

[09:19] talk about thumbnail titles and click through rate and that could be something very specific for this one. Now, one thing if you don't know, there are the quick preset Opus Clip templates,

[09:33] and these are good. Don't get me wrong. They even added some new ones. You can tell there's a new tag. But for me, I actually love the ability to customize, and you can make your own custom templates. You do not have to use the default one. I have our KDCC template. I have an Opus Clip

[09:48] template. I have a bunch of templates for different needs. We're going to use our KDCC template, and then what we're going to do is, while this video is loading, using your video, friendly reminder to anyone joining us, when you're doing this, you're using a video you

[10:00] don't own, may violate copyright laws, so continue and you confirm this is your own original content. And I see this thing a lot. Opus Clips is recommending if you're going to use any content, you need to own

[10:12] the copyrights for it, right? If you're using content you don't own the rights for, you may be violating copyright laws. Opus Clips is very up front and center. I see people ask this question a lot.

[10:24] but you put it here. So with that, let's go ahead and get clips in one click. Now, this is going to be loading. This is also another thing I could do is I can auto-import videos from YouTube so I can

[10:36] save time and streamline. I do this with a notification via email because not every time do I want it to bring in my videos or content. I could also do this from a specific playlist. So if this video is in a specific playlist, I want it pulled. Credits are deducted just so it gives

[10:53] a lot of flags. The one thing I like is that it's pretty upfront in how it handles it. I see that we have Micah Flemmons. Good afternoon. Good morning for me here, but that's the beauty of going live. You have people from all over. Now, one thing I want to show is while we are here,

[11:10] it will take a little bit of time for this to load, right? It's going to take an estimated 11 minutes. We have a bunch of people who are here, so I would love, yes, Ike, auto-import. So if you don't know, and this is one of my favorite things, Opus Clip has an auto-import setting.

[11:27] So what you can do with that is you can have it set up in the background to which video selected, auto-import content so that you can easily have any video into Opus Clip ready to go.

[11:39] So if you want to make sure clipping, for me what I do is I have all the videos in my live stream playlist auto-imported to Opus Clip. Then I can easily go ahead without even really thinking about it.

[11:51] Import them in, edit them up for clip purposes, and then, because I've done that, it's super easy to have shorts going, and that's how I went from about 30 to 40K to 50K views a month to about 70 to 80K over the last month, and it's been huge.

[12:05] It's near double, and all I've done is given a new piece of content right from an existing piece, right? And that's the power of repurposing, but you also don't need to do this with existing content, right? I see this all the time.

[12:18] Can I upload new content into Opus Clip? The answer is yes. It is that simple. There's not a lot of, there's nothing more than that, right? So, you can probably easily do this. You know, there's lots of ways.

[12:31] If you want, you can upload the video here. Keep in mind, it does say there is a 30 gig, you know, maximum and a duration of about 10 hours, which is pretty good. I mean, most max YouTube video length at the time of this stream is only 12, right?

[12:45] So, that's quite long, if I must say so myself. So hopefully that gives you a little bit of help, gives you a little bit of clarity. So I see from Ken is you can make clips, but what I read sometimes online is that the clipping can hurt your channel.

[12:58] What is the benefit of clipping the video? So it can hurt your channel. Clipping can hurt your channel if it is not relevant to, one, the audience you're trying to build. Two, the content you clip didn't make any sense.

[13:11] And three, you should check your audience analytics. For my audience, a lot of them are already watching live streams, videos, and shorts, so it makes a lot of sense for me to clip content. In your unique audience on YouTube, look, does my audience want even a lot of short-form content?

[13:26] If the answer is yes, go for it. If the answer is no, consider it. You're going to need to do something called warm-up an audience, right? If McDonald's took 30 years before they ever introduced breakfast, right,

[13:39] And the idea there is by warming them up to the idea that they really have solid food over those 30 years, those 30 decades, is that when they introduce something new, that people would be like, all right, I like McDonald's. I know this brand.

[13:51] I'm going to give it a shot. But if you're just dropping shorts and you clip content out of nowhere and you never gave them a heads up or you didn't communicate, right, that's different. So one of those things is when it comes to doing these things, how much did we as content creators warm up our audience, right?

[14:08] Now, I started warming up my audience with videos and clips and shorts. I started doing a combination of net new shorts. So I actually have a couple of shorts on my channel that I've made just too. I enjoy making shorts.

[14:21] It's actually kind of fun. Sometimes it can be a great video that I don't have the full heart or breadth to make a full video on. Sometimes it's just having a little bit of silly, goofy fun, right? So I actually, I'm going to let you guys into a little secret here.

[14:34] At Opus Clips, they probably know. I told them I'm doing this. We were live earlier today. And so they know that. They didn't actually know about the stream, mostly because I just wanted to do it. I thought it would be a lot of fun to talk about, a lot of fun just to get into it, dive deeper in it.

[14:50] So I see we have a couple people who have joined. Shout-outs to Tube Spanner, taking notes. Everyone, channels are blowing up from using shorts in the way Andrew is explaining. Thank you. An example to auto-clipping would be nice, not sure to what you are referring to.

[15:07] So, yeah, in Opus Clip, it can go ahead, and if you have a certain playlist, or you can tell it to do your entire channel. So Opus Clip can auto your video so that you can have it ready to clip once the video is done and once it processes through Opus It email you when the video is ready to be clicked and or however you want to do it For me I do it with my live streams playlist here and we absolutely should have to set that up But I want to show you something

[15:33] and this is the real secret. I'm going to actually show you real world work I do using Opus Clip. And now granted, I am using Opus Clip for, we're going to have some clip section here. So let's share my screen. This is the Agent Opus live stream we just did this morning. It was so much fun.

[15:49] I got to be on the stream with Connor, Ada, Rebecca, and, of course, myself, and everyone in the community. So what we can do is, while this is loading, keep in mind, this has been going. We have about seven minutes left.

[16:02] We have 11 minutes. It's not too terribly long. This is also an hour piece of content. But I am going to drop a YouTube link. So I've seen the thing. Well, I don't know if I even need it for clipping.

[16:14] You could use it for YouTube captions and chapters. Here's how you do it. So, we have brought in this whole video within Opus Clip. We are going to actually click Don't Clip. And all we are going to do, now keep in mind, there is a two-hour, 120-minute limit to what we're about to do,

[16:32] and this does require credit, so about 50. The preset template I'll use, Opus, is just for this, but it really doesn't matter. We're using this for FRT file chapter creation, right?

[16:44] So, I have a full dedicated video on this if you want to get a refresher. It is on the channel recently, actually. But this is one of those that is very fun to do. It actually is a secret.

[16:57] I'll be really upfront with you. I do this for all of my live streams. If you have the SRT file, you can upload an SRT file. But because I'm not clipping this, and if you don't know, if you don't clip,

[17:10] you can just re-upload the video. If you have the original file, you can just re-upload it and click Don't Clip. And then you manually can select what moments you want to clip using the tool. So, we're going to hit Get Clips in one click.

[17:24] What this is now going to do, we're running two different projects. This one is almost done. You can actually see this project failed, but I got impatient and I left early. That's from me more than them. But you can see how often I use it. This is the SEO secret video I put in.

[17:39] You can see different ways that I use this. I even use this for my membership call for closed captioning. You know, chapters are huge, and this is another way you can use Opus Clip outside of it. So you can actually use it to generate, if we right-click on one of these videos that is done,

[17:54] it can create an SRT file or a text file for you. And then what you do with that is you're going to use that for your chapters, you're going to use that for your captions, and that's going to give you even more usability out of it, right?

[18:07] Because some people are like, hey, I have all these credits. What more can I do with it? Use it for your live streams. Use it for that longer chapters. Look at that text file if you don't have it. What I find is it's pretty accurate in terms of that. And sometimes the YouTube chapters can take a while, right?

[18:21] And I love YouTube. Connor, good to see you. Connor from Opus. This is beautiful, man. Happy to have you here, Connor. But, you know, I use it for multiple things. I use it not only for short form.

[18:34] I use it for clipping. I use it for sharing on other platforms outside of YouTube. That's something I've been working on in my own personal brand. And one thing I've been really challenging myself to do is post more.

[18:47] What I can say is that, you know, for me recently, after going to VidSummit, after going to Uscreen Connect, after going to the Opus Clip Recovery, Opus Clip First World Recovery Party,

[19:00] is that I have been spending too much of my time not creating enough. and a lot of it was in my head and I actually have a video coming out about this but one thing that creating content like this can do

[19:12] is help you keep consistent. And again, I said this at the start, it has literally helped me almost double my viewership by using content that one, not every piece of short content will people who watch all your content see.

[19:26] Two, it lets me be consistent and three, it gives me even more ways to be accessible in my long form. I can make chapters. So, Connor is here. He's getting his behind-the-scenes, Connor.

[19:38] Here's how I'm going to do it. This is one of my favorite use cases. I made a dedicated video on it. But now that this video is 60%, I know that the text file here is going to be pretty good. And I'm going to download this text file.

[19:52] I'm going to open it. This is actually the text, everything we said. It is crazy to think. all these things were said in this live stream, right? And this is a lot of data, but don't worry.

[20:05] Here's what we're going to do. We have it. Now, I could, on the Opus Clips YouTube channel, go ahead and download the SRT. That actually tends to be what I do, and then I put it here. But then

[20:17] the next thing we can do is go to our favorite chatbot of choice, if you're okay with using AI, but if you're using Opus Clips, heads up, it does use AI. I know there's some creators out there who are still, you know, a little hesitant when it comes to it, right? But what we're going to do is make me YouTube optimized chapters for both SEO and AI purposes based on this live stream.

[20:42] This live stream was, and then what we do is we check the total run time, 50 minutes and 6 seconds. So we're going to put 50 minutes and 6 seconds. go ahead and format them with this in mind. Here is the transcript. And then

[21:04] watch and learn! ChatGPT in light mode? AHHHHH! Look, I am a light mode user. This is my this is my hot take. This is actually a hot take as I keep learning. I like light

[21:20] mode. I will say it. I use YouTube in light mode my entire life. I sometimes use it in dark mode, but I think I got traumatized because when I would use anything in dark mode in my tutorials, people would be like, well, mine doesn't look like that. Obviously, he's using a different version,

[21:34] and then I'm spending so much time in the freaking comments dealing with that. So, yes, I am a light mode user. However, however, it's also the default for a reason, in light mode, we love it.

[21:47] Agreed. Haters. You know what, Connor? I will stand on my light mode type of soul here. I like light mode. Here are your SEO smart, though. And obviously what I would normally do is check how accurate these are.

[22:04] But because we're showing this live, right, so this is just a really good agent open code open, what AI video sounds right. We are live audio check, chat warm-ups, how to get an invite code, form links, hosts, and guest intros.

[22:16] That's good. What I might tell it is opus clip is said like opus clip. Not, you know, corrected there. It is AI.

[22:28] It can't get things wrong. Not opus clip, please. So that way it'll go back and update those just to get that correct. But all of a sudden, I have real chapters that I can use.

[22:43] Now, I do see, if you don't know what an SRT file is, so what is an SRT file? SRT is a caption file type. So when you are uploading anything, SRT files are a caption file.

[22:55] And YouTube uses them so that you can have accurate captions. Opus Clip uses things that it can use to make captions. I could have downloaded the SRT file. I used the text file for this example just so you could visually see everything.

[23:08] srt file is just a file you download that has that same information so yeah with the text file though it can go ahead and do that and once we are ready with this now that we have this text file you can upload it to youtube's caption system upload it and it'll get the timing for you it'll

[23:25] match it for you so instead of you doing that manual work it'll do it and then if you want it as an srt file here's where we go deeper let's say you want to do broadcasts across social media download it from YouTube, use it across platforms, you can download it from

[23:39] OpenClip as well, this is just a different way you can do it so yeah, now I have chapters for that live stream we just did, I'm gonna have to watch it and tweak because I still do that, like I said, this is using

[23:51] chat.jpt from a transcript, it's good but not perfect, but hey it used to take hours of rewatching and nailing, now it takes like a couple of minutes and that to me is a win, especially when it comes to efficiency

[24:03] So if you are not using Office Clip for your captions and chapters on any piece of content that's under two hours, I highly recommend you do so because it could be getting you more views, it could be saving you lots of time, and more importantly, it makes your content more accessible.

[24:16] So while I've been yapping, content has been running in the background. And so we have this video we've worked on, but I want to go ahead and show, this is a video I did about some free tools.

[24:29] It also has, if you've never seen the Office dashboard here, welcome. Happy to have you here. So it has found 14 clips from this video that is not that long, all things considered.

[24:41] So as I'm looking here, it has identified, you know, a man in a blue shirt introduces his favorite free YouTube tools. I did use this to show off the caption capability, but let's say I want to remove captions.

[24:54] You can actually do this at any time. We're going to click Edit Clip, and we're going to go in. So, there's a couple of things I could do. Now, because I'm using captions in the original video file, if I wanted to, I could just remove captions here.

[25:11] And now, all of a sudden, this video that I have, it now has those version captions, and I'm able to keep them. Now, because it is being cropped, it's not going to look perfect.

[25:23] But with the crop tool in Opus, the one thing I can do, which I would tell you to do, is select your scenes in the editor. Click on crop. Instead of custom, we're going to go one to one. And we're going to apply it to all scenes selected instead of one scene.

[25:37] Let's go ahead. And by doing the one by one, so here are some of my favorites. It's not perfect. There's still some things I could do. If I want to get rid of the emojis, I can by just clicking on them here.

[25:51] I will say this that I might actually want to do a different way to crop this which maybe it is 16x9 or maybe I want to try 4x3 there's more different format types

[26:03] being supported every day and if I do this apply to the entire selected sequence one thing you'll notice here are some of my favorite free tools forever free versions there's a couple ways I could do this

[26:15] to make this not look so 16x9 it does feel a little off but with the upload area what I could do is I already have some stuff here but I could upload some images maybe what I want to do is find a specific photo or backdrop you know we have one

[26:34] for the live streams here so what I think I could easily do and that's actually what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take a live stream backdrop I have here let's go ahead and drag that in it's gonna upload here and then instead of having this in the background I'm gonna you know add the timeline

[26:53] what I could do is I could technically you know reorder some of this I could put this here and that way you know I have a little bit more of a branded background

[27:07] so I'm doing this very dirty and very quickly dirty jobs done quick so one thing I could do if I really wanted to is put this here you know duplicate it have it

[27:21] in the background have maybe another image for my branding so again you want to make sure you're handling this the way you want but I could add a logo background here that maybe fits a little bit

[27:33] better I could push this up so that this isn't so barren down here I can make this a little more branded I could maybe use some of the platform specific features right so one

[27:45] thing I could do is I use this space down here which I could easily do for do you have any questions right because YouTube recently put out the questions block here are some of my favorite tools one thing I will have to note is because

[27:57] I manually moved that that's why I didn't move over but put it back there it should go ahead and keep me up here so yeah that is how easy that is to

[28:09] change. I'd hit save changes. And as I'm going through and as I'm editing, there's a lot more you can do. I want to go ahead and take a look. Do you guys have any comments? Do you have any questions? And where is this SRT file? It is in your YouTube backend. You would download it from

[28:24] Opus Clip, like I showed earlier, where you would click those three dots in the area, or you would need to get one professionally made or use a tool like Opus Clip. SRT files are a file type that YouTube has in the back end. Yes, so one-to-one is perfect. Ike actually put me on to using one-to-one.

[28:43] Hardy Fowl, I'm assuming this is going back to light mode. You know what? I have thought about making shirts in my unrelenting support of light mode. I am, I am, I am alone in this fight,

[28:55] but I think this fight, I don't know why I signed up for this fight, I guess, but here we go. So, please, you know what? I can, you guys can let me know. I will put a poll. You guys, if you are so strong here, let me know.

[29:11] Team light mode, team dark mode. Are you team light mode or team dark mode? there we go

[29:30] I want to make it short with my latest video but I don't think it'd work at the same time probably you asked me and called me out last time I would challenge you and I'm calling you out make it you'll never know until you make it

[29:43] that's my call out you called me out last time we'll call you back out I don't know why I'm getting bullied by my chat and therefore bullying them back. Either or, I see from Monique. Either or, I can, you know.

[29:57] Oh, this poll is going poorly. Oh, I see. You know what? You know what? I knew it was going to go poorly. And guess what? This is what I would say. If you were just joining, we would have pulled the audience.

[30:10] You can also let me know in those comments. You are entitled to your wrong opinion. I'm just kidding. I don't have this much feelings for Light and Moon.

[30:22] I never said it wouldn't be challenging, Pearl, but I am saying it's possible. And again, if you want more editing control, that is where you could edit with an Opus Clip by clicking Don't Clip, right? So now that we have those chapters, what I could do is I could easily upload them.

[30:39] Again, we have that text file. We have it. I want to go back to the start if you're like, hey how the heck did he get those FRT files from Opus Clip Once your video is done rendering there are these three dots near it You could also do it in the project itself for a completed project

[30:56] So you could click here. So this project, I did clip those. So I would need to make sure I go back. I think that I do have one here. I think this is the whole video.

[31:08] Oh, yeah. So this is the full video where I am not clipping. I am just using it here. You click on the three dots, and this is where you can download your SRT file, or you can download your transcript.

[31:22] You can share your project. So, like, if I want to work collaboratively with someone, that is something good. So, from MMA and Kohl's, I just reached out for a partnership. I would easily go over the credits on Pro.

[31:35] And, look, if you have a lot of content, that's something that would happen. I mean, I think if you have the numbers, what I've learned is they work with a lot of creators of lots of different types. Ooh.

[31:47] So, ah, I love this question. I love this question from you, English Fun Zone. Absolutely you can. Can I use this for my member-only live stream?

[31:59] Yes, depending on how you record, save it, wherever it is. If it's on YouTube, obviously there might be some limits because it is behind that. But if you record a copy or if you're using a tool like StreamYard, the quick answer is yes.

[32:11] If you can download the file, you can use it for that. Here is my dirty secret. When people are like, how do you have chapters so quickly or how do you have captions so quickly for your live content?

[32:23] This is actually a real membership call that we did. This is to our CanDo Creator membership. So, Kenneth, if you're still in here, I see Pilates with Jen. I see some of our members. I use this to download SRTs, to download transcripts, and then I make it more accessible to my users.

[32:41] So, you absolutely can within the ways you are doing it. So, to answer your question, English Fun Zone, yes, absolutely you can. So, my problem is I run out of credits because my long form is so long.

[32:56] That is a unique problem. I do think that because you're a member I could definitely say that you should definitely find your best performing video since you're doing so much I believe you can also buy more credits

[33:09] so there's lots of different ways you can do it there is a free trial I will say and we do giveaways of this stuff quite a bit so just some heads up just trying to give back

[33:21] ah hey there Caviar good to see you now we are almost done But this is your floor. If you would like me to pull in your video so that we can see a NOPUS clip, let me know.

[33:36] Tell me the video name. Give me permission. Because, again, I'm only doing this with permission. Let's get it done. Now.

[33:48] Now. Beliza Jen says the right thing all light mode yes now granted I do know what this clip is in dark mode ironically

[34:00] because it started in dark mode people expect that but I've had it too many times the main reason I'm pro you know hopefully that doesn't cost me a partnership I'm sure someone out there is watching like we're going to work with them he likes light mode

[34:13] you know what I thought about making light mode merch I'm that serious about it. It's not that serious, but I am that serious because any time I talk to people about it, dark mode all day, Opus Club light mode for April Fool's.

[34:28] No, for Andrew Pan is why we do Opus Club light mode. You can use mine. All right, Pearl. Look, you challenge me, I challenge you. Look, I hold people in high regard.

[34:41] Pearl is in our Discord. If you're just joining, you're like, wow, what is with Andrew and Pearl? I like to say that we have communicated for so long now that I have a sense of understanding of, one, you make good content, too. You know, I think for what we're trying to do,

[34:57] it's a really great example. And because you are doing kind of drawing content, this is a good case study to see how I would tweak it, things like that. LOL for April Fool, it's funny. It's not funny. It's a way of life. I'm going to look at this poll. I am so curious for this poll,

[35:12] actually. We're going to take a look at it in a bit, but let's go ahead and we're going to show a real-world example using Pearl's channel. Now, I'm going to go to videos. Let's go ahead and use it on your one for 20 hours ago, right? We have your creepy Josta.

[35:28] We have, you know, I'm trying to find one that what video actually? Can we now pick on each other in a playful manner? Not super much

[35:40] mostly because people may not get it, but I feel like we have mutual respect, so we can absolutely hold each other accountable. I'm trying to find which video Pearl would make the most sense. Please let me know. The creepy is the latest one, so let's go for it. We're going to share now.

[35:56] I will say that because I don't know Pearl's style, this is actually a great opportunity if Pearl is using Opus Clip and they want to change things up. We have get clips in one click, right?

[36:08] we're doing this. Now, one thing as this is loading, I want to make sure I talk about and showcase is that I do have this in my live streams. You know, we're

[36:20] running multiple things. It has Pearl's video. It's pulled it up. It's going to take about 14 credits because it's about 14 minutes. And it is good to see you, Kathy. I am going to go ahead.

[36:34] clip model. We're going to use clip anything. So, we're going to go ahead. I definitely think that this is, you know, entertainment. I would count this as entertainment. You know, you're reading through stories, so let's use

[36:46] entertainment. I could also just show off what AI detects says. I do not know your style, but let's say that you wanted to change this, right? I could change

[36:58] my YouTube template by clicking edit here. This will take us into the template editor where it'll show you what it looks like. You can pick your different sizes. You're 9 by 16, you're 1 by 1, you're 16 by 9. And I could choose the original aspect ratio. I could even go,

[37:15] you know, and choose captions. You can upload your own fonts. I have my own custom font. I have a specific look I'm going for. You can choose the position. If I want this in the middle of the screen, the top of the screen, bottom, auto, where it detects based on what's here. I can choose

[37:29] animation so instead of this I could do underline I could do an earthquake effect there's so much I could do but I do not want to save this for my template so we're gonna go and just pretend that

[37:42] pearl loves mine but we could use one of the other ones they provide I think for pearl because there's so much color and what I'm seeing I'm going to use this one grow we're going to use

[37:55] this one for our style. There's actually a lot of purple, so maybe for this video, maybe we use something a little less purple for it. I'm maybe so confident until I start

[38:08] looking deeper. Actually, let's go ahead and use Flush Infinite, and this will give you different styles, different ways to do this. Now, it's going to get clips in one click, but I want to make sure

[38:20] I tell it what length I'm looking for. It can go up to 10 to 15 minutes, it could do, things like that. I just like the medieval style stuff. Not sure if that is what you're talking about in the content or if you're talking about here,

[38:36] but leave a selector or caption. Switch infinite. Get clips in one click. We're doing this live. Purple is my favorite color. I'd say use orange or green since those complement. Yes. And that's why we use that color selection we did pick.

[38:51] See, I have some understanding of color theory. It works on any length. Let's see what the question. Would clip work for a seven-minute video, or is it better for 10 minutes and longer?

[39:05] It can work for the selected lengths that we have there. It really depends. If you prompt it to look for a specific moment, again, that prompting, if you're a good prompter, you can make even more work out of Opus Clip here.

[39:17] It can go so much deeper than some of the things we've shown. And I think that prompt guide, not only for Opus Clip, I've been asked a few times, hey, I suck at prompting. I'm okay at it. I've gotten a lot better as I've gotten using it.

[39:30] But, uh, yeah. And, look, I see this from MMA Holes. I just put in a YouTube link, and it said, unable to import video. If they're having issues, like, that could be a YouTube thing.

[39:42] Some, like, if you're watching this in the future and hope this clip is having issues, it most likely will be resolved very quickly. That team is so dedicated in fixing it. My best answer to you would be just give it a beat. I've also, since we're done

[39:54] I see here, I've uploaded a couple of videos right, and so this is the master of the art of YouTube titles, we are ready to go let's take a look at how many clips it has made for us, 38 that is insane

[40:06] 38 clips, now granted I probably could do that, but one thing I love about it is trending it uses Gemini to tell you what is trending, trending, don't start before you've done this video titles

[40:19] right, it's talking about different ones I like this one. I could edit this clip. It also gives me a score. The viral score is the likelihood this video will go viral. It gives you a hook. It tells you immediately that it presents intriguing

[40:34] title suggestions, capturing attention, and sparking curiosity. Flow is logically progressive from title suggestions, ensuring clarity, maintaining structural. It gives you a breakdown. So here's my top tip. If you are just getting started, if you're just getting started on

[40:48] YouTube, use Opus Clips virality score to give you an idea of how your hook, your flow, your value, and your trend are. Using that will give you an idea, a separate opinion on how you're presenting.

[41:00] I have live streams where I thought I wasn't that great and Opus Clips actually gave me a pretty low score. Then I've had live streams where I thought it was okay, but it thought the score was good and the audience responded similarly, right? So when it comes to using Opus Clips,

[41:14] You can upload your content, use it for practice, and maybe if you're practicing, use those clips from your practice to make final videos. Have yourself a bullet point list. Go deep, go hard.

[41:26] That's an exact content. Now, looking here, this might be interesting for them. I said I would probably start this in a different spot, but because this is trending, this might be interesting for them.

[41:43] I see that we have some pauses. I see that we have, we can turn transcript only. It gives us an idea of what people are saying. These are pause times. And if we go to AI enhance, one thing it can do is remove those filler words,

[41:56] um, none sound, or pauses. It's sound too. You can select, you know, you can select duration. I've seen some people like, oh, I like the pause. Well, you can actually tell it how long you want pauses to exist for.

[42:09] For me, I don't want any pauses, so I want them all gone. and so it's done and so we could watch this and this is where I could even crop this again

[42:22] I don't know why I said crop like that, don't ask to the ply, we could crop this to be a little bit different a little better, a little more in tune that's what I'm trying to do I could crop like that

[42:37] there we go sorry about that started coughing and sneezing but I could move the captions I could you know with the screen share selected

[42:49] one thing I should have done as we talked about earlier is I should have selected all of them to crop this scene because in particular I need to crop just me for the lower third

[43:03] oops I cropped doubly But you can also use Control-Z, all the undo's, all the stuff. So this is just some of the examples of how you can edit.

[43:15] You can remove those ums. I can even change the highlight word if I click on it. I can change the font color. Maybe I want this blue. I can make this back to white. Maybe I want, instead of start filming, I just want videos to be the emphasis.

[43:29] Don't start live. I could highlight this live streaming. So both of those are the emphasis. this, you know, you can really select different ways to handle this for what works best for you.

[43:43] I'll go ahead and save those changes. So, I see questions. Do you want to look at an eight-minute or so longer one?

[43:55] I mean, I looked at a two-hour live stream. We've just put in Pearl's 14 minutes, so throw eight minutes at it. It's not that bad at all. for clipping potential, I found clips from three-minute videos.

[44:07] Now, that's even harder to do. Fun fact, that three-minute clip surpassed the video, got a lot of views to the video from that little clip. So, even if it's a smaller video, you could be surprised what it finds.

[44:19] I know I was. And if you are having audio issues, look, that is more than important. More than important. Audio is usually what we lose people on.

[44:34] So, this is another great example of a way that we can look at OpenScript. I want to go ahead and pull this in. Don't worry, we are having some time here.

[44:49] If your audio isn't great, you can go to AI Enhance, Speech Enhancement. This is actually pretty good. It improves vocal clarity and richness. this. I've actually had it save some videos that I thought sounded better, but when I

[45:02] watched back, it wasn't great. So, it's missing a caption. There might be a word. So, with that, the next thing we're going to show off is Creator Hooks Pro.

[45:15] I would probably want to change these three highlights to be this, so that we have it. I would probably put this is the start so I'm going to go ahead and hit you know timing here I could change where the audio is

[45:34] if I want I could go ahead and set this at the start so we're starting with creator hooks pro as we talked about I can crop these 11 themes using this kind of what we showed off before

[45:52] We can make this a little tighter if we wanted. Apply to all the selected scenes. And now what I could do for all these selected scenes in the screen share in this area, you know, it is trying to custom crop.

[46:07] What I could do is I know that this is the part that needs to be focused on Now because this is mostly text this is on me We going to apply this to all the selected scenes Creator hooks pro your primary actual hooks you know looking here

[46:23] Put in the database. Tell me about it. It's not terrible. We should definitely, like I said, you should be watching this more closely. I'm just giving you an idea of what you can see. and so if I'm cropping from let's say here right because this is probably where

[46:40] it starts a crop I would definitely change this to be a little bit easier to be read the most important start parts here this so that you know it could get a better idea of

[46:55] how I want the screen to be shared this one as well I like the ability so I see people say, you know, it doesn't crop well, or I have to manually do it. Like, it's doing a lot for

[47:07] us already, and I don't mind doing this work, because I know how hard it is to not do this work. And again, find what I want to include, right? I want to include this stuff. We've hit apply. This is actually, goes from pretty unusable to usable with a couple of selective edits.

[47:25] Now, I would have to keep editing this, but I think you guys get the point, is that you can make some changes here that have real meaning. You can use one of mine.

[47:37] It's a video that I thought would do better. Maybe cropped would be better. And again, maybe if you're cropping, again, play around with the tools. It's a good editor here. And look at even like this low-res freebie, right?

[47:50] Before, you know, my screen share wasn't good. It took just a little bit as we're editing here, but this is now a lot better. and it's not bad. I could go in there and play with it some more.

[48:02] It's saving my changes. But what I want to do, I want to take a look at, ooh, okay, I'm finding some good clips from Opus Clips doing its thing. This is what I tell people. Opus Clips has improved so much.

[48:15] Like, try it again if you've tried it before. It is really worth it. Any tool, any company that's worth its weight, its salt, is constantly listening to users. It is constantly aiming to get better, and it can only do that when users, one, not only use the tool, but, two, the tools listen to the feedback.

[48:33] And that's one of the reasons I'm very strict when it comes to working with anyone. I've had a very long career and I've been very lucky to work with some tools in their heydays and see just how much they care, and that's what I care about.

[48:46] How do these tools treat us, the users? And I can say, OpenClick does a really good job in listening. Ooh, I only have four. Look, the longer it is, it's a minute per credit usage.

[48:58] You got to keep that in mind. Maybe crop would do better. English fun zone, what video could I look at for you? I'd love to pull one up. Let's do it. Now, here we go. Now, I will also mention that as I'm doing these kind of clip-alongs, I'll call them,

[49:13] Pearl, I don't know your content. I have not watched this video yet. But this one looks to be pretty good. now what would I do I first go in and watch right so actually what I'm going to do is I'm going to

[49:32] remove my screen share I'm going full screen because I want you guys to be able to hear the video now you might hear me hopefully you don't hear me twice if you do let me know in those comments. That's my heads up.

[49:50] Okay. Can you hear the audio? That's the real question. I do some good VA work towards the end. Lots of

[50:02] updates. Yep. So, I do not know this content as well. But what we could do, because what it's already kind of doing is saving the content,

[50:18] some of it makes sense. Like, in fill, like, this here looks pretty visually good. I do not understand the nuance of the story, but the way it's handling the motion and, like,

[50:30] finding moments seems pretty cool. Now, this is where, like, understanding the difference of crop type and not, you know, I do like when we fill here. What I would do

[50:43] to edit this is we're going to crop these five scenes. We're going to go to the 16, not the 9x16, but go 16x9, apply to all these scenes. And now you keep that same micro frame pearl. And you get to

[50:59] see all the images. It's blurred the background for you. It's giving you the font. So let's say, you know what, actually Andrew, ah, unfortunately, this yellow is not working for me.

[51:12] That's fine. We can make it purple. Oh, actually, purple is not working for me. Once again, it's fine. We'll make it another color. We will find what works for us. Maybe it's a green, right?

[51:24] And in this green, it can kind of stand out about that blurred, right? And then, you know, there's a moment that you don't want it there as it's kind of going through for us.

[51:36] It's doing a really solid job of finding this moment. And I got to admit, Pearl, by not knowing any better, and again, you'll know your content better than me.

[51:50] This right here, what I would do to just change it is we would crop all of this. We can hit X. one thing I want to mention is it does support, you know,

[52:03] it does support keyboard, because I have captions, so if we hit X, it'll bring up captions. I hit X on the keyboard. Make it blue. Make it pink. Make it what you want. So we would go back to 16x9, apply,

[52:17] boom, all of a sudden, instead of manually reframing, if it makes sense anyway, this seems like creepy drafts would make sense there. I don't think I did that correctly.

[52:33] And even if I didn't, this is actually... Why am I doing this the hard way? I'm sure someone's yelling at me. Just zoom in! You can zoom in on the timeline! Please, zoom in! I can. I just don't know.

[52:48] Well, actually, I did know that. I just didn't do it. I don't want to actually... I want to keep it Let's do fit and then fit and then fit.

[53:01] Perfect. Oh, that's because there's too many multi-edit layouts. So that's fine. We'll just do it one by a time. But at least it told me. That seems like a user problem more than anything else.

[53:16] So instead of this, we're going to crop individually because I want the full art for Pearl. Fit will stay the same. Let's change this. 16 by 9. We're making these changes pretty quickly.

[53:30] And then I think this one definitely needs 16 by 9 because it gives the whole final appeal. Okay. And I, oh, it's because it's using fill layout. Let's use fit. And when I change the layout,

[53:45] notice fill does that. We can also do fit, which is a different way to get it to do the same thing. You can check layout here for lots of different things prop instead of that we're going to use our 16 by 9 apply we keep that

[53:59] and then we have this so again i do not know your content maybe this is like a major spoiler here's another pro tip and this is something i tell people look at your youtube analytics if you

[54:12] have a moment that is within your analytics and you know what it said in the script prompt opus clip to find that moment or just put in the full video and opus clip itself make that a youtube short because your audience has already told you it's their favorite moment anyway and then when

[54:27] you do that what you can do and this is so freaking cool is by doing that you then have a already loved moment from your audience and it's so good and I see like if there's some effects like you

[54:39] want to zoom out pearl you could do that with an opus you're just gonna have to play around with it but again from all the changes we have and just some of the ways that are normal in the vertical short form space. We have some usable YouTube shorts in here, and the cool part is, it'll tell

[54:54] you why, right? So, on trend, it evokes a sense of mystery and psychological horror, which has some alignment with the consistently popularity of True Crimes. Again, for this one, it may struggle because it's not understanding the nuance of the month we're in, but say hi, and I know this is

[55:09] working on it, and that's feedback I could possibly give them. I know some of them are in here already, so thank you guys for watching, too. I know they take the feedback, like I said, very serious. I'm seeing some cool stuff it's able to do, though.

[55:21] And, again, I would say if you haven't tried it in a while, feel free to edit and play with it. It's one of the best ways for it and your content to get better. So, Pearl, that's just a really quick example, right?

[55:37] So I would also say, you know, Ike said it here, there's lots of updates. 46 credits, you know, they're doing a lot of contests and giveaways. looks cool this is English fun zone English fun zone especially for you right like if you've done

[55:50] a lot of deep lessons oh there's so much you can do with like pulling those moments or finding the things that you always get asked questions about making that a piece of content that is next level when it comes to it and again now that I have a SRT file one thing I could do we have text the

[56:10] those are key files let's say and I'm going to show you where we're pulling the curtain back again because when you pull the curtain back sometimes what you find is very fun so we're pulling that curtain back and I want to show you

[56:22] how to actually use this on a real video that needs it so right now I'm pulling up the Opus clip you know YouTube channel let's go ahead

[56:37] Looking at the Opus backend, we can type manually, edit as text. So, you may remember we have this text file. Here is how. And actually, I'm going full screen.

[56:50] Here's how you can easily go from just having a text file from Opus Clips to full YouTube captions. You can either use it as a text file, SRT, it's very useful. For me, I appreciate it in multiples of ways.

[57:03] in the back end of YouTube if you're wondering how you get here. You don't have to save the draft. We'll discuss the changes. Click on Subtitles. Type manually. Edit as text.

[57:15] We have all of that going. Edit timings. YouTube will do this for you. In today's world, saying that's good video is

[57:27] key to expanding your influence, but crafting professional content means research plan it's pretty good like already because you guys should be able to hear that that is so freaking good at doing that hit done captions published done next we should spot check

[57:46] them and i usually do i will do that after the stream because to watch it during but here's the way i will like randomly do it right let's see article highlights we have a lot

[58:01] and to send her into a video. That is so good. Once we submit this, the Archbishop will start reasoning and assemble its team, and after about Like, that's pretty good for a spot check.

[58:14] To, uh, over to Rebecca, how's our project coming along, and, uh, Project is coming along good. Andrew? That's crazy good for literally

[58:27] now, for instead of me sitting here typing in for 50 minutes or, you know, paying another service, I'm using my Opus Clare edit. I have captions now, and that made this video so much more accessible. Those

[58:40] chapters, after I review them, again, these are more ways you can creatively use your Opus Clip to get more value. If you're just watching, if you just joined us, we've only scratched the surface on what Opus Clip can do. There are so many more tools, so many more features, but let me know in

[58:54] the comments, or if you're watching this live, what do you want to see? What do you want to know about Opus Clip. Maybe you want to know about their brand new feature, Asian Opus, which is really cool. Maybe you want to know about some of the other things they have. I can only know what

[59:06] you want to let me know. I really appreciate everyone who has joined us. And as always, you should consider joining our community down below. We do a lot for free. We have a Discord. We have memberships. We have lots of different options. We have a brand new feature on our

[59:19] website, which I want to show you. If you do not know, our website is just kdcc.social. And this goes to anyone who is like, I don't know, I only have X amount of subscribers.

[59:32] I only have X. So, let's, I want, I need this for those folks. So, this is what your audience actually looks like, right?

[59:45] So, if you have one person, you know, that's you, we show you different scales, different ways that you can see, and I will make sure that I put this in the chat so you can join along.

[59:59] I'll put this in the description. It gives you an idea of how many people you're reaching, and a thousand people you've sold out in outdoor community theater. That's crazy. 5,000? 10,000? 75,000? It's more than SoFi Stadium here in LA. At 10 million, that's 1.5 million more

[1:00:16] than people in the entire New York City. That's crazy. So some people are like, oh, I only have 500 views. That's an entire graduating class. 250, that's a banquet hall. Like, this came because when I went to an event, it was VidSummit, I was talking to people who,

[1:00:33] you know, they have hundreds and thousands of subscribers, but they were intimidated by sitting in front of 16 people in front of them. There were 16 people in the room they were presenting to, and it was intimidating because real people are behind those metrics. If you only say,

[1:00:47] I only have X amount of subscribers. You are discounting the people who are watching you, who are enjoying your content. Those are real people. They're not just numbers. It's important to understand what those numbers want and what they like. But those real people are the people who bought into you, the people that believe in you,

[1:01:02] and the people who want to see you succeed. So if you are ever like, I only have X amount, there are so many ways to grow on YouTube. There are so many tools that you can use, such as Opus Clips, such as this free tool I've created for you.

[1:01:14] And I really implore you. You are not just creating alone. You are creating for real people who are watching your content. Every piece of content we create has an opportunity to reach someone in a meaningful way. And if you would like to learn how to do that, come join our Discord community.
