In this video, I'm going to show you a quick tutorial on how I process videos with this
tool called Opus Clip.
We've been using this for a couple of weeks now and I really, really love it.
It's essentially an AI video editor for particularly long form content where you can take a long
video, you can see the headline here to create 10 viral clips and just basically create it
a lot faster.
So even if you've got content where you're filming a podcast, they can find the clips
that will work well and then it will also kind of format it for you to work on a real
type format.
So pretty cool tool, does all the captions for you, helps you reframe, make it look pretty
good.
So what I'm going to do here is just jump right into dashboard and when you start, you're
going to have this very simple link here so you can actually just link to anything here.
You can link to a Zoom meeting recording, you can link to Google Drive, you can link
to YouTube.
I have our videos uploaded here in Google Drive just to make it easier.
So I have gone in here, I just had to go to share and I had to make sure that it said
anyone with the link just so that that link is public.
And so if I jump back here, I'm going to just paste this in and it's going to do a quick
analysis just to make sure it's got what it needs.
And I'm going to choose the clip anything option here and you can go through and set
a few different things.
You can see how long I typically like shorter clips.
So like 30 to 60 seconds is probably preferable.
And then I can say, you know, what kind of this is going to be informative and educational.
And you can pick a few things here.
So I'm going to pick maybe both of those as far as what my genre is, it's going to figure
out what to talk.
I can say this is a recording from a recent training for our pioneer program where we
talked about how to create your social media content engine.
Highly recommend Talktastic for that.
So I just can speak into my mic and it will dictate that and I can just paste it right
in here.
So you can see that that just gets pasted in there, it's a little AI tool.
You can also go in here and say, hey, you know, the first 10 minutes are a waste where
we're doing a countdown or something.
You can kind of shorten that if you want.
And then if you want, you can go ahead and pick like a template.
I have one here called Zoom and I have one called Reels, I think.
So let me just pick that one as a starting point.
You can also pick from any of these cool templates.
They're all great.
Okay.
So let's do that.
I'll just pick one that's default and that's it.
You're going to hit get clips in one click and you'll see here now it's starting to process.
So it's going to take about 30 minutes.
I'm going to pause this and come back.
I'm not going to make you wait on this, but you'll see it's got 30 minutes to process
and then it's going to chop that up into about 40 different clips.
And then I'm going to walk through my process of selecting clips and then how to edit them
and then publish them from within Opus Clip.
Okay.
And there we go.
It looks like it's done.
It's been about 30, 40 minutes.
Let's jump in here.
And you click into this and it's going to go ahead and score them based on what it thinks
is going to work well.
Okay.
So you want to start at the top left and kind of work your way down.
You can see that this is, if you kind of zoom in here, you can see that it's 38 minutes.
I've got my captions added.
I can, if you wanted to, you know, it's got options here to go ahead and schedule it,
you know, with one click, which is kind of cool.
You can download the video here and then of course you can edit it.
So I'm going to watch it and we'll just kind of go through it like this and see, okay.
So it's grabbed a piece of me just doing a welcome intro.
So I'm just going to go ahead and ignore that.
The way that I track this is I just put a little down arrow or you can heart it here
using like this clip.
So what I'm going to do is just favorite the ones I want, then I'm going to come back and
just edit those.
Okay, so it's okay.
I may, may use that.
I'll like it for now.
Let me grab one.
That's really good though.
And you want to kind of be known for these things so you can put that out in short form you can put on reels tiktok
You can put it out on like written content if you want it on linkedin or facebook
Uh, it depends on your audience
So a lot of these are a little bit wordy. Um, not loving any of them just yet, but there are
39 clips to choose from so there's going to be one in here. That's going to be good
so there's a good piece here where i'm saying like
Give them something to do just telling them to like and follow
Like I think we're probably over that now like you don't need to say
uh things like
Uh, you know linkedin bio you don't need to say that people 100% know that you're going to be in your bio
So there's some good options there
Um, i'll go ahead and favorite this one and i'll just take you through the process of how I would edit this
Um, so let's zoom out a bit. I'm just going to click on the edit
And it's going to take you into a pretty cool little editor and this looks very similar to descript
I'm a huge fan of descript as well
But this one, uh, this is a great tool here. So what you're going to see on the left here is your your
Script and on the below here, you can actually see the video
I can zoom in a bit here and see that there's a clip here and then it's going to jump
So the first thing we want to do is just hit play and see
So the very first word I say is um
So let's pull this all the way back to about there
You can see I just grab the end of it and I pull it over to the left
And let's go ahead and wind this back
then ask questions, you know in your
So I said, um
It says and then ask so i'm just going to take out you can actually select
the words this way, um
Maybe take the word and so i'm going to just click on this word and I can say remove from caption and video
So I can say now it should just go like let's just read this play it
You know
So some of these it gets a little bit wordy
So I would spend some time cleaning this up
And you can basically go in and select specific sentences that you don't want and then just hit the remove button. That'll take it out
and then
As you go through this you can see there's a little jump right here
And if I want let's say it did it I want to see what actually came before this I can click on the left side
Here and just drag it to the left and it's actually going to go back to the original clip
Grab the three or four seconds that were in there because it's kind of a weird
Cut right there. I'm, not sure quite why it did that cut so it's going to go and reprocess it and then right here
It's we've got it. So i'm going to go and play it now
So I like the fact that it says like just telling them to like and follow so
So you can see down here, um, i'm just going to create a little bit of a space here so we can go
Now like you don't have to say things like
You know, there's a lot of uhs and all of that. So what you can do is um
That's because I say i'm in oz all the time like i'm doing even on this video
But uh, there are some options here to uh, take out
the
Filler words they call them
So if you want you can head down to the left
You just have to scroll down a little bit to this ai enhance
And you can do things like remove all the pauses you can remove filler words
So I go ahead and just click on this. There's a speech enhancement so you can make your vocals just come through really really strong
Um, like sound like you have a podcast mic or something. So i'm going to hit review, uh, remove filler words
It's saying that there's not any there. Uh, not sure why that is but
Uh, you can censor things and hopefully that's not a problem for anyone here
Uh, but you can click on this. Uh, these are just different options there
Of course, I think the way I like to do it is just go through and edit it myself and select the words I don't want
so
There's that let's say I was finished with this and i've got my clip ready to go
I will um, you can save the changes up here
You can of course edit things like the captions if you want to go back and change the text
Uh, you can change the colors and fonts and all that stuff
So when it's done, it's going to go ahead and process it one more time
And then you can do
One of two things from this point. Let's say you've edited it got exactly how you like it
Uh now what so you can if you want, um that hit the download button that looks like this
And that will just download a high quality file that's ready to go
Uh where you can upload it to vista social or you can go directly to the platform like, uh,
You know youtube shorts or tiktok or instagram?
The other option they have here is a scheduled post if you click on this you can actually go
Uh
In here and in this example, let me zoom out just a little bit
Sorry
It's kind of zoomed in a bit
There we go. So you can add specific platforms here and go ahead and write the post with the hashtags and everything
And you can either schedule the post
or you can hit a publish now button and it has auto-generated the
The caption here based on the script, which is kind of cool
So it's it's you know, it's not always gonna be perfect, but it's got a title
You know, it's got this three-step contents ready to go viral on tick-tock. So it's a little bit
Generic, you want to change this like no need to keep saying
Lincoln like stop saying Lincoln bio in your videos or something that could be a good title for this
There's that you can change the thumbnail and you can publish it
So this is kind of a nice feature if you just want everything in one
Place you can have it scheduled here and there's a calendar down here so you can see your content calendar
Over there and that's just a nice feature for for you to put everything in one
If you want to you can also go to another tool Vista social
I'll make another video for that and you can schedule it over there
so you can see this is done processing and now I could go through and and
You know upload this or schedule it
So that's that's everything with with Opus. It's a tool. I really like if you have questions, you can always
Comment here and I will jump in and answer any questions you have on it
If you want to see something else I can make additional training. So just request that and
I'll be good. But hopefully it's a great tool try it out
Figure out which tools you like using and then stick with those awesome
