I Put Two AI Video Editors to the Test. Only One Won.

Hours on editing one minute, and you’re sick of it already.

Yeah, me too.

So I put two of the biggest AI video tools in a cage match:

Opus Clip vs Descript.

Let's see who's left standing.

Easy vs. Control.

Opus Clip is a fire-and-forget tool.

You upload, and its AI spits out clips, captions, and b-roll.

It's the easy button for content repurposing.

But if you wanna be in the driver's seat, go with Descript.

It's a full editor, but the AI features give you a massive head start.

It's a choice between automation and an AI-assisted workflow.

Now, which one is…

—

Built with purpose & an All-In-One?

Opus Clip is the specialist.

It was built for one thing: to turn your 3-hour video into a 30-minute one.

But Descript is the generalist.

It's a full podcast studio, a video editor, a transcriber…

Basically, a “I can do it all for you” partner.

But what about…

—

Your Time & The Catch?

Opus Clip can save you decades of editing time, but its cost per minute of video can add up, and its features are limited to that one purpose.

Descript is more of an investment, a tool you'd use for your entire content workflow.

We’re not just talking subscription cost; it’s the time you’re gonna save and the control you’re gonna gain.

With that in mind, the question is…

Which one do you really need?

If you just need a quick clip, Opus Clip is a godsend.

But if you're building a brand and in it for the long game, you need the whole toolbox.

That's why Descript is the clear winner.

It's the one that lets you be a creator, not just a clipper.

The right tool can make a damn good creation faster.

So, what will you choose?
