An Opus Clip alternative that charges per clip you keep, not per minute
Raw2Reel does both jobs for talking videos. Upload a podcast, talk or interview longer than 3 minutes and it comes back as 5 to 10 short vertical clips, ranked best first, each with captions, music and b-roll. Upload a short clip you filmed on your phone and it comes back as one finished Reel. Opus Clip counts the minutes you upload; Raw2Reel counts only the clips you save.
How Raw2Reel works
Upload your video
A long recording (podcast, talk, webinar, interview) or a short clip, exactly as you recorded it.
Get your clips, best first
Over 3 minutes of talking: 5 to 10 clips, each with a title and a one-line reason. A short clip: one finished Reel.
Change it in plain words
Type "shorter intro" or tap a word to bring it back, then save in Full HD.

When Opus Clip is the better choice
If you record wide landscape podcasts with two or more people and want the frame to follow whoever is speaking, Opus Clip reframes for that; Raw2Reel keeps the whole landscape picture inside a vertical frame with a blurred background. Opus Clip can also post the clips for you and gives each a virality score. If you rely on those, stay with Opus Clip.
When Raw2Reel is the better choice
If you pay for minutes you upload and keep only a few clips, Raw2Reel counts differently: each clip you save is one video, and your 3 free videos every month work on clips too. If you want them all, one payment unlocks every clip of that video ($7 in the US, a local price in other countries). Each clip gets the full Raw2Reel edit: pauses and repeated takes cut, word by word captions, music under the voice and b-roll.
Long recordings into ranked clips
Upload a talking video longer than 3 minutes and Raw2Reel picks 5 to 10 moments of 20 to 75 seconds, built on whole sentences, each starting on a strong line and ending on a complete thought. They come back best first, with a title, the length and a one-line reason, and the first one is usually ready in about 2 minutes. Want the whole recording as one video instead? Tap One long video. More on long video to short clips.
Short clips stay whole
If you film a short clip on your phone, Raw2Reel does not hunt for a highlight. It keeps everything you meant to say and only removes the pauses, the fillers and the takes you repeated, so your point stays in the order you made it.
Change it without a timeline
Every cut shows in your transcript. Tap a word to bring it back or take it out, or type a change in plain words, like "calmer music" or "no b-roll". The video updates by itself a moment later. There are no tracks, markers or keyframes to learn.
Try it on the same recording
There is nothing to move over. Upload a recording you already ran through Opus Clip, compare the clips side by side, and decide. You get 3 free videos every month with no card (captions, cuts and music in 720p, up to 10 min a month), so the test costs nothing. Free videos carry a small Raw2Reel mark in the corner.
