# Overview

The `OpusClip API` empowers you to **<u>transform long-form videos into viral, short-form clips</u>** 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.

The `OpusClip API` provides the following endpoints to streamline the video processing workflow.
Each submitted video is managed as a project, allowing you to track and organize your content efficiently.
