Opus Clip
ClipAnything genuinely reads any video genre for the moment you want, and ships MCP + API access from the $29/mo tier — but it bills by source-video minutes, not output clips, so a 90-minute podcast burns your month's allowance on one export or fifteen.
PRICING
| Free | Free | 60 credits/mo, 1080p |
| Starter | $15/mo | 150 credits/mo, monthly only |
| Pro | $29/mo | $14.50/mo billed annually ($174/yr) |
| Business | Custom | custom pricing and credit packs |
Credit-based: every clip export consumes credits and unused credits do not carry over on monthly plans; the annual Pro plan grants 3,600 credits up front.

Strengths
ClipAnything's multimodal understanding (visual + audio + sentiment) genuinely works on any genre, not just talking-head podcasts, and the developer story — native MCP connector, 6+ SDKs, public OpenAPI — is unusually generous for a $29/mo tier.
Honest dings
The credit system bills by source-video minutes, not output clips, so a 90-minute podcast burns a month's Starter allowance whether you export one clip or fifteen; independent reviews put it at 3-4x pricier per video than per-video competitors. AgentOpus, the full autonomous video-production agent, is still 'the next bet,' not a shipped product.
