Kapwing vs OpusClip

Kapwing

• Marketing and social teams editing video together in a browser
• Subtitling, translating and dubbing videos for other languages
• Cutting long recordings into short clips for social platforms

OpusClip

• Podcasters and streamers cutting long recordings into short clips
• Creators who post the same clips to several social platforms
• Teams automating clipping through an API, MCP or Zapier

Kapwing

• The Free plan watermarks every export and caps videos at 4 minutes, 720p and 30 minutes of exports a month.
• Free workspaces keep project files for 3 days, and free projects are unlisted rather than private.
• There is no free trial of the paid plans, and Kapwing says it does not refund subscriptions.
• There is no downloadable app; the help center says the Android app is paused and phone users edit in a browser.

OpusClip

• Free plan clips carry a watermark, cannot be edited and stop being exportable after 3 days.
• Only Pro can be billed annually; Starter is monthly only and has no social scheduler, team workspace or extra aspect ratios.
• Processing uses 1 credit per minute of source video, and a Pro team workspace tops out at 4 seats, reached with 2 packs.
• The mobile app is iOS only, and the help center recommends Chrome for the editor and warns of crashes in Safari 18.2 and later.

Kapwing

Timeline video editor

Trim and combine clips on a drag-and-drop timeline, add overlays, transitions and stock assets, then export as MP4, GIF, MP3 or an image.

Subtitles and translation

Subtitles are generated automatically and can be translated into more than 60 languages or downloaded as SRT or VTT files. Minutes are metered: 10 on Free, 1,000 a month on Pro.

Dubbing, text to speech and lip sync

Dubbing translates dialogue into 40+ languages and text to speech turns text layers into voiceovers. Custom voice clones are listed under the Business plan, and lip sync minutes are metered by plan.

AI video generation and repurposing

The Video Generator builds a video with voiceover, visuals, subtitles and music from a text prompt, and Repurpose Studio cuts a long video into clips sized for social platforms.

Screen and camera recording

Record the screen, a browser tab or a window, with or without the camera and microphone, from inside the editor, then edit the recording in the same project.

Team workspaces

Members share a workspace with folders, leave comments on the video and can edit a project at the same time. Brand Kit stores logos, fonts and colors on paid plans.

OpusClip

ClipAnything

An AI clipping model that finds moments in long videos of any genre, from podcasts to vlogs, gaming and sports. Paid plans give each clip a Virality Score.

Animated captions

Adds AI captions in more than 20 languages with emoji and keyword highlights. Custom fonts and speaker-based caption colors are not on the Free or Starter plans.

AI Reframe

Resizes a video for each platform and keeps moving subjects centered with object tracking. Free and Starter output 9:16 only; Pro adds 1:1 and 16:9.

Editor

Text and timeline-based editing with filler and silence removal, AI B-roll, voice-over and text overlays. The Free plan has no editing.

Social posting and scheduler

Starter posts to YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. Pro adds scheduling and X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Threads and Bluesky; each post to X costs 3 credits.

API, MCP and XML export

A video editing API, a scheduler API, an MCP connector and a Zapier integration, with limited API access on Pro. Pro also exports projects as XML for Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve.
