Opus Clip alternatives
Consider an alternative to Opus Clip if credits drain on long uploads (it charges for the full length you import), if its built-in editor lets you down, or if you only need captions. Vizard gives 600 upload minutes for $29 a month, about 5 cents a minute against Opus Clip's 10 cents on Starter, and Submagic is built for animated captions on short clips you already have.
