Video Clipping With Opus Clip

What It Is

Take a creator's or business's existing long-form video content and use the AI tool Opus Clip to automatically generate 10 to 20 short vertical clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, then lightly edit and caption the best ones before delivering them to the client.

The Pitch

Hamilton frames the pricing specifically around undercutting manual editors: professional editors who clip content by hand typically charge $50 to $80 per clip, so charging $10 to $20 per clip, or a flat bundle like $300 a month for around 30 clips across four videos, still feels like a bargain to the client while paying you roughly $100 an hour for the actual editing time involved. The differentiator she stresses is not just running the AI tool and handing over raw output, but going back into Opus Clip's editing tools to adjust captions and trim clips so they're genuinely polished before delivery.

Who It’s Best For

Someone with an eye for what makes a short clip watchable who's willing to do a bit of manual polish on top of the AI-generated output, rather than just delivering the raw automated clips.

The Truth (as we see it)

Hamilton pays someone else to do a version of this for her own content, which is a real, if secondhand, validation that people pay for this service. The specific dollar figures ($10-20/clip, $300/month bundle, roughly $100/hour in time) are her own suggested pricing framework, not a documented case study of someone else successfully charging these rates.
