How to Edit YouTube Shorts & Videos with OpusClip (Step-By-Step)!

Hello everyone, today we are going to be talking about how to edit YouTube Shorts and videos easily with OpusClip, and more about what OpusClip can do for you. I am joined by a very special guest, Connor from OpusClip. He has been such a pleasure to work with and knows so much about it. We just wanted to collaborate together. Let's bring on Connor now.

[Welcome Connor]

No worries. While Connor is figuring out his audio, let's go ahead and welcome some people. Micah is here and Kathy Fit is as well. Can't wait for this exciting session today. If you've never used OpusClip before, there is a free trial that you can get started with. We are going to demo the free version, but you get a lot with the free trial. Let's get started. Connor, are you all situated now?

Connor: Yep, I'm good to go now. Thanks, Andrew. It's great to talk to everyone today. There’s a lot to cover, and I'm excited to show some of the sneaky features packed into OpusClip. A lot of people are unaware of these functionalities, and we need to make them more obvious. But that's why I'm here—to give you some secret tips on how to make your short-form content pop off. In 2024, short-form video is essential for growth. Turning your long-form videos or live streams into shorts and posting them regularly is the number one way to grow right now.

Andrew: Absolutely, and OpusClip doesn't just do vertical video. They can help clip in various ratios like 16:9 and 1:1. We'll talk about how you can use and even earn money through OpusClip and their Affiliate Summer Sprint. Let’s share my screen to see what OpusClip is doing.

[Affiliate Summer Sprint]

Connor: The Affiliate Summer Sprint is a way for OpusClip to work with everyone, whether your audience has two people or 200,000 people. We wanted to make it easier for you to earn some extra money. The Summer Sprint increases the payout commissions up to 40% until the end of August. We are also giving away $ 6,000 in additional prizes. Top earners can get up to $ 2,000, and there's even $ 1,000 for the most creative piece of dedicated affiliate video content.

Whether you're new or established, this contest is wide open. If you want to get involved, head to our affiliate page and sign up. Make sure to opt-in specifically for the Summer Sprint, or we won’t know you're part of the contest. Nick Nimmin and Brian G Johnson will be choosing their favorite small creator (under 10,000 subscribers), who will win $ 500.

Andrew: And about using the tool itself—whether it’s OpusClip or OpusClip Pro—you can easily edit and clip videos. Let's jump into some demoing here.

[OpusClip Captions]

When you upload to OpusClip, you get different caption styles to choose from. You can add emojis, keyword highlights, and then add captions in one click. There's more flexibility in the Pro version, but the free version still gives you a lot. You can even generate custom fonts for your captions in the Pro version.

[Features Breakdown]

We had a question: Can you change the title in OpusClip? Yes, you can. You can also regenerate the titles. One feature is the ability to schedule posts across different social channels directly from OpusClip. You can batch your social media posts ahead of time.

Remember, keywords are super important when you’re setting up your video for clipping. They help the AI find and highlight the moments you want. For example, in a video with Jake Thomas on YouTube Titles, you’d use keywords like "YouTube titles," "click trigger," "curiosity," etc.

If the clips are too short or not suitable, you can go into the editor to fine-tune them. Use the filler removal function to trim down pauses automatically, add background music, or even use stock or AI-generated b-roll to make the video more engaging.

For those working with editors or using programs like Adobe Premiere Pro, you can easily export your clips into these programs. This is especially useful if you want more detailed, professional edits.

[Conclusion]

Always remember to recheck your templates and clipping options to make sure they suit your needs. OpusClip is continually developing, and we have exciting updates coming soon that will expand its capabilities even more.

Connor: Thanks for having me today, Andrew. Can’t wait to see what everyone creates. Remember to tag OpusClip in your affiliate content.
