An OpusClip alternative when you have no long video
OpusClip is the standard answer for repurposing: feed it a podcast, webinar, or stream, and it finds the strong moments and cuts them into captioned shorts. If you already record long-form video every week, it's a sensible buy.
Most app founders don't have a podcast, though — what they have is a product that does something worth showing. ClipMyApp makes short-form content from that instead: your website and a screen recording are enough to fill a month of posting.
The short answer
Pick OpusClip if you regularly record long-form video and want it repurposed. Pick ClipMyApp if your source material is your app itself and you need original posts, not clips.
What OpusClip does well
- Finding the strongest moments in hours of footage automatically.
- Clean auto-captioning and vertical reframing of talking heads.
- Batch clipping that turns one recording into many shorts.
Where ClipMyApp is different
- No long-form required. ClipMyApp creates original posts from your website and app recordings — there's nothing to repurpose because it makes the content from scratch.
- More than clips: memes, carousels, and hook-fronted product videos, each editable before publishing.
- Screen recordings are understood like OpusClip understands talking heads — moments detected, dead time removed, payoff kept.
- Approval and publishing are built in, with one calendar for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

Can ClipMyApp clip my screen recordings like OpusClip clips podcasts?
