Reap vs OpusClip 2025

Let’s be honest creating short-form content from your long-form videos is a massive time suck. You’ve got gold sitting in podcasts, webinars, tutorials, and interviews but who has time to dig through hours of footage, cut highlights, add captions, and format everything for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels?

The result? Your best content often goes unused while short-form video dominates every platform.

That’s where reap the smartest AI video clipping tool steps in. With reap, creators, marketers, and businesses can instantly transform long videos into scroll-stopping, platform-ready clips. It’s like having a full-time editor on demand—minus the cost or headaches.

Why Video Repurposing Is Critical in 2025
