OpusClip's official "Video Sources Supported" documentation lists 15 platforms — YouTube, Twitch, Vimeo, Zoom, Loom, Riverside, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Kick, Google Drive, and more — and Bilibili is absent from all of them. A site-wide search on opus.pro returns zero mentions of Bilibili.
For creators whose primary content lives on Bilibili — Chinese-language education, gaming, variety content — this is not a minor gap. ClipIt is currently the only AI-powered shorts tool that accepts a Bilibili URL directly and outputs a publication-ready 9:16 clip. There is no workaround on the OpusClip side: you would need to manually download the Bilibili video, re-upload it to OpusClip as a local file, and lose the direct-URL workflow entirely.
For creators who produce on both YouTube and Bilibili — or who repurpose Chinese-language source material for Douyin and TikTok — ClipIt handles the full workflow from a single dashboard without platform switching.
OpusClip's free tier gives 60 minutes of processing per month with watermarked exports; clips expire three days after creation. The first paid tier, Starter, is $15/month (or $12/month billed annually) and removes the watermark, giving 150 minutes of processing. The Pro tier runs $29/month ($14.50/month annually) for 300 minutes, with added features including AI B-roll, social scheduler, and multi-aspect-ratio export. A Business tier is available at custom pricing.
ClipIt's free tier gives signup credits with no watermark and no expiration on clips. The first paid tier, Pro, is $19/month (or $15/month billed annually, saving 20%) and includes 300 credits per month. There is no per-minute cap — credits cover the number of clips generated, not raw video processing time. See ClipIt's pricing page for current credit allotments.

Neither tool wins on every dimension. Here is an honest breakdown.
OpusClip is hard-capped at 1080p. Their FAQ confirms no 4K export is available, even when the source video is 4K — the output is downscaled to 1080p regardless. For 9:16 short-form content published to TikTok or YouTube Shorts, 1080×1920 is the current platform recommendation, so this cap does not practically limit most workflows today.
ClipIt outputs at 1080p (h264, 9:16). Both tools are at parity on resolution: 1080×1920 is the current recommendation for TikTok and YouTube Shorts, so neither tool is at a disadvantage here today.
ClipIt flow: Paste a YouTube or Bilibili URL into the Create page. ClipIt fetches the video server-side — no local download or upload step — and the processing job appears in your dashboard. When the AI finishes highlight detection, reframing, and captioning, clips are ready to preview and export. The total steps are: paste URL → review clips → download or edit.
OpusClip flow: Paste a supported URL (YouTube or one of 14 other platforms) into the OpusClip interface. OpusClip also fetches server-side and processes in the background. When ready, clips appear in the dashboard with AI-assigned "virality scores." You can review, select, and export or publish directly via the built-in social scheduler if on a Pro plan.
Both tools are URL-in, clips-out. Neither requires a manual download-then-upload step for supported platforms. The main workflow difference is that OpusClip adds a social publishing layer that ClipIt currently does not provide.
It depends on what you value. OpusClip gives you 60 minutes of processing per month on the free tier — that is a meaningful quantity for testing. The tradeoff: every export carries a watermark, and clips expire after 3 days, so you cannot go back and re-download them. ClipIt's free tier works differently: you receive signup credits (no monthly recurring top-up), but there is no watermark on free exports and clips do not expire. If you need volume quickly, OpusClip's 60 min/mo may go further. If you need watermark-free clips you can keep, ClipIt's free tier is more permissive.
OpusClip's official documentation lists 15 supported video sources and Bilibili is absent from all of them. Fetching Bilibili content requires handling a separate CDN, DASH manifest parsing, and Chinese-language metadata — complexity that most Western-focused tools have not prioritized. ClipIt built this pipeline specifically to serve creators on Chinese-language platforms.
Yes. ClipIt works from source URLs, not from previously exported clips, so migration is as simple as pasting the original YouTube or Bilibili URLs into ClipIt's create flow. You re-generate clips from source rather than importing old exports. Your source video stays on its original platform.
OpusClip claims 97%+ accuracy across 25+ languages, backed by its proprietary transcription layer. ClipIt generates captions with accurate Chinese and English transcription, which is particularly relevant for Bilibili source videos with Chinese audio. For non-Chinese, non-Korean content, OpusClip's broader language coverage (25+) may be an advantage. For Chinese-language source content, ClipIt is the only option.
Paste any YouTube or Bilibili URL. AI does the rest.
