## OpusClip

The Free plan exports up to 1080p, adds a watermark to animated caption templates and keeps media for 3 days. Starter removes the watermark and lists a virality score and posting to YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram. Pro adds 1:1 and 16:9 reframing, AI video B-roll, dubbing and an MCP connector. Its help article says Hindi is not supported, but other OpusClip pages list it.

## Vizard

One credit is one minute of video. The Free plan gives 60 credits a month and 720p export. Creator adds 4K, no watermark, scheduling and 6 social accounts. Vizard's help centre lists Hindi for transcription and subtitle translation. You can trim by deleting words in the transcript.

## Submagic and Descript

Submagic is web only. Its Magic Clips repurposes long videos into shorts, and it lists Hindi captions. Pro adds AI silence removal and auto zooms. Descript's Hobbyist plan lists creating clips and Remove Filler Words, which detects English only. Descript's Free plan adds a watermark.

## Riverside and Kapwing

Riverside records interviews. One of its pricing pages lists Magic Clips on a Free plan. Its pages disagree on prices and on whether a free plan exists. Kapwing's Repurpose Studio turns a video into social-ready clips. Its Free plan adds a watermark and caps exports at 4 minutes.

## Where Marxx fits

We make Marxx. It does not pick clips for you. Once you have the moment, [Marxx's AI video editor](/features/ai-video-editor) cuts it by transcript in the browser, fits it to a target length and reframes it for Reels or Shorts in one request. Plans start at $9 a month at launch prices (checked 3 Nov 2026).

## Plan limits at a glance

OpusClip Free exports up to 1080p and keeps media for 3 days. Vizard Free caps export length at 10 minutes, keeps video for 3 days and allows 1 social account. Submagic caps videos at 2 minutes on Starter, 5 on Pro and 30 on Business.

## A worked example

Say you upload a 45-minute webinar. On Vizard that uses 45 credits, since 1 credit is 1 minute. The Free plan's 60 credits cover one such upload a month. Creator's 600 credits cover 13 (600 / 45 = 13.3). Always check how a tool counts uploads before you plan a month.

## How to choose

1. Count your long videos a month and their length.
2. Check the plan's limits: video length, export size and watermark.
3. Test one clip in your language.
4. Compare the first three clips by eye before you pick.
