OpusClip Raises Investment from SoftBank Vision Fund 2 to Fuel Growth of its AI-Powered Video Editor

OpusClip, a generative AI-powered video editing platform, today announced a $20 million funding round by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 and others. The strategic round comes after a record year for OpusClip in which the company surpassed 10 million creators using its platform creating more than 172 million clips. The company plans to use the funding to expand its team and roll out new AI-powered products.

The World’s Most Advanced and Effective Video Editor

OpusClip has created the world’s first-ever multimodal AI clipping tool, allowing users to extract key moments from any video using natural language prompts. The platform leverages the latest AI models to instantly analyze video content, cross-referencing it with the latest social media trends to determine the most compelling moments to clip. The platform extracts highlights from long-form videos and automatically generates short, high-engagement clips, optimized for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and more.

“OpusClip was born from the idea that AI should empower creativity, not replace it,” said Young Zhao, co-founder and CEO of OpusClip. “Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible adoption, with millions of creators and businesses leveraging our technology to make video creation faster, smarter, and more impactful. This new funding enables us to push the boundaries of AI-driven video editing even further.”

“The OpusClip team has demonstrated an incredible ability to build products that resonate with millions of brands and creators,” said Dennis Chang, Managing Partner of SoftBank Investment Advisers. “This vision has fueled strong growth, and we’re pleased to support their mission to revolutionize video editing –turning it from a manual, time-consuming process into an instant, AI-powered experience.”

Key features include:

• AI Clipping: Identify the most compelling hooks, extract highlights from different parts of your video, and rearrange them into cohesive viral short videos.
  
  
• AI Video Editor: Enhance video quality with animated captions, AI reframing, AI audio cleaning, and AI B-roll.
  
  
• AI Video Search (OpusSearch): for professional creators and media businesses to search anything from their entire video library and get auto-suggested trendy clips.
  
  

OpusClip has seen tremendous growth in the last year, surpassing 10 million creators and businesses generating 170 million+ clips, which have amassed more than 57 billion views. The company’s Creator Advisory Board features top video coaches and industry leaders like Jenny Holos, Jubilee, Jon Youshaei, Think Media, Univision and more, and actively shapes and refines our product. All this has allowed the company to gain the trust of the world’s largest brands and creators including Univision, Billboard, iHeartMedia, Visa, LinkedIn, Jubilee, Impact Theory, and Grant Cardone.

“OpusClip’s AI tool is changing everything. OpusClip isn’t just for media companies - it’s for any business owner who needs to maintain a social presence without sacrificing hours for video editing.” said Tom Bilyeu, CEO of Impact Theory

OpusClip was founded in 2022 by Young Zhao, Jay Wu, and Grace Wang, who previously led a 500-person social media talent agency before they saw the need to democratize video creation with AI, and thus OpusClip was created. The company is actively hiring top AI talent and deepening partnerships with Google, OpenAI, and industry leaders to redefine the future of video content.
