Convert Long Videos Into Viral Shorts & Auto-Post Everywhere With OpusClip

Creating viral clips from long-form videos is one of the fastest ways to grow your audience across multiple platforms. Whether you’re working with a podcast, webinar, or tutorial video, you can quickly create bite-sized, shareable content that spreads like wildfire on social media—without spending hours editing.

In this post, I’m going to show you how to do exactly that, using two powerhouse tools: OpusClip and Repurpose.io. These tools make it easy to transform any long-form video into multiple viral clips and automatically share them across your social channels with just a few clicks!

Why Short-Form Content is a Game-Changer 🎯

Short-form content is dominating platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Stories. The appeal? Quick, digestible content that can go viral and boost your brand awareness, fast. Instead of creating entirely new content from scratch, you can repurpose your existing videos, saving time and effort.

If you’re ready to turn your long-form videos into engagement gold, let’s jump right in!

Step 1: How to Use Opus Clip for Creating Viral Clips

The first tool we’ll use is OpusClip. This software is a game-changer when it comes to automating the clip creation process. Here’s how it works:

1. Grab Your Video Link 🎬

   • Whether it’s your own video or one that’s already been posted online (YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.), you just need the link. Copy the URL of the video you want to clip.
     

2. Drop the URL into Opus Clip 🔗

   • Once you paste the link into OpusClip, hit “Get Free Clips.” The platform supports nearly every major social platform (YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter).
     

3. Sign Up for Free 🙌

   • Signing up for OpusClip takes seconds—no credit card needed! You get 60 minutes of free processing time each month.
     

4. Customize Your Clips 🎥

   • You can adjust the clip’s genre, length, and even pre-cut specific sections. Want a cool subtitle style? Choose from popular options like Elon Musk or Ali Abdaal's styles.
     

5. Generate Your Clips ✨

   • After you tweak your settings, hit “Get Clips in One Click.” Your clips will process in about 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the length of your video.
     
     

Step 2: Review Your Viral Clips

Once your clips are ready, here’s what’s awesome:

• OpusClip automatically generates multiple clips from your long-form content.

• It grades each clip based on hook, flow, value, and trend—giving you insights on why each clip has viral potential. 🔥

For example, I uploaded a 50-minute video and OpusClip created 26 clips, grading each one with detailed explanations of why certain sections were engaging.

You can also make light edits to the clips right on the platform, including adding bold text or a voice-over. Think of it as editing a Word document—super simple!

Step 3: Automate Your Social Posting with OpusClip

Now that you’ve created your viral clips, it’s time to post them across your social platforms:

1. Add Your Social Accounts 📲

   • Opus Clip lets you link your YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn accounts. (For Facebook and other platforms, you’ll need a Pro plan.)
     

2. Auto-Generate Captions & Hashtags 📝

   • One of the best features? Opus Clip auto-generates your post captions and does hashtag research for TikTok and Instagram!
     

3. Schedule or Publish Now 📅

   • Hit “Publish Now” or schedule your posts for later. You can manage all your posts from within Opus Clip.
     

While Opus Clip covers major platforms, I have a trick to help you post to even more platforms automatically. Enter Repurpose.io...

Step 4: Maximize Your Reach with Repurpose.io 🚀

To extend your reach and post on all platforms (Snapchat, Pinterest, and more), you’ll want to use Repurpose.io. It’s a powerful automation tool that lets you post from one platform to multiple others without lifting a finger. Here's how it works:

1. Sign Up for an Extended Free Trial 🎉

   • By clicking through this special link, you’ll get a 30-day extended free trial (instead of the standard 14 days) and 30 free videos to post! No credit card required.
     

2. Add Your Social Platforms 🖥️

   • Once you’re inside the Repurpose dashboard, add all the platforms you want to post to: TikTok, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube—whatever you need.
     

3. Create Automated Workflows 🔄

   • Set up workflows to auto-publish content from one platform to another. For example, you can create a workflow to automatically post TikTok videos to YouTube Shorts or Instagram Reels.

   Even better: Repurpose.io automatically removes watermarks (like the TikTok logo) from your videos, making it easy to reuse your content seamlessly across platforms.
   

4. Enable Auto-Publish ⚙️

   • Once you’ve set up your workflows (e.g., TikTok to YouTube Shorts, Pinterest, etc.), just hit “Enable Auto-Publish.” Now, whenever you post on TikTok, Repurpose.io will take care of publishing the same content to all your other platforms automatically.
     
     

Step 5: Combine Opus Clip & Repurpose.io for Maximum Efficiency 💡

Here’s how I personally use these tools together:

1. Create Clips in OpusClip 📹

   • Start by uploading a long-form video into Opus Clip, and let it generate multiple short, viral clips.
     

2. Post to TikTok Using OpusClip ⏩

   • From OpusClip, I publish the clips directly to TikTok (and optionally to Instagram, YouTube Shorts, or LinkedIn).
     

3. Auto-Publish Everywhere with Repurpose.io 🌐

   • Repurpose.io then takes my TikTok post and publishes it across all my other platforms, including Facebook, Pinterest, and Twitter—automatically.
     

With this setup, I only need to manage one platform—TikTok—and everything else takes care of itself. Talk about working smarter, not harder! 💪
