The OpusClip API empowers you to transform long-form videos into viral, short-form clips tailored to your preferences—at scale. With just a few steps, you can seamlessly integrate video transformation capabilities into your applications. To begin using the OpusClip API, you will need an API key, which serves as your authentication credential.
