Introduction

OpusClip identifies the most compelling hooks, extracts highlights from different parts of your video, and arranges them into viral shorts.

The body of the POST /clip-projects endpoint has 5 main components:

• Video URL
• Brand Template Selection
• Curation Preferences
• Import Preferences
• Conclusion Actions

​

Video URL

This parameter defines the URL of the long-form video. OpusClip can import public videos from the following platforms:

• YouTube, Google Drive, Vimeo, Zoom, Rumble, Twitch, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Dropbox, Riverside, Loom, Frame.io, StreamYard
• Any public video S3 link of an MP4 file

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opus.pro/api/clip-projects \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXaoozFRes"
}'

​

Brand Templates

We offer an option to customize the appearance of your clips by brand template.

• If a brand template is specified, relevant render preferences will be applied.
• It is recommended to define your brand templates within the OpusClip dashboard and set your default template.
• If a brand template not defined, the default template on your account will be used automatically.

For example, to use the Karaoke brand template:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opus.pro/api/clip-projects \
  --header 'Authorization Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
    "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXaoozFRes",
    "brandTemplateId": "preset-fancy-Karaoke"
  }'

​

Curation Preferences

Curation preferences define how your long-form video should be curated. Here you can define:

• The duration of the resulting clips
• The genre of the video
• Topic keywords that you want to prioritize clipping for

Example:

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opus.pro/api/clip-projects \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXaoozFRes",
  "curationPref": {
    "clipDurations": [
      [
        0,
        90
      ]
    ],
    "genre": "Auto",
    "topicKeywords": [
      "Opus",
      "Clip"
    ],
    "range": {
      "startSec": 105,
      "endSec": 300
    }
  }
}'

​

Import Preferences

Import preferences let you define the language of the original video. OpusClip supports videos in 20+ languages.

By default, the video language is automatically detected. It is recommended that if your video is not in English, you should specify the language.

Example

curl --request POST \
  --url https://api.opus.pro/api/clip-projects \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "videoUrl": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEXaoozFRes",
  "importPreference": {
    "sourceLang": "de"
  }
}'
