Petit Panda is the alternative to Opus Clip: it cuts your long videos into vertical clips like Opus Clip, publishes them to 6 networks and runs from Claude through its official MCP server, from 49.99 €/month. On volume, the Pro plan includes 1,000 credits, meaning up to 1,000 minutes of source video to clip per month (1 credit = 1 minute), versus around 300 minutes on Opus Clip Pro: in practice, each clipped minute costs about half as much. If your only need is the most advanced clipping, with a virality score and AI B-roll, Opus Clip remains a formidable specialist.

Opus Clip is an American tool specialized in AI video clipping: it turns a long video into several short clips with animated captions, a virality score and AI-generated B-roll. From the Pro plan, it also lets you schedule and publish those clips directly to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and X.
Opus Clip offers a free plan with 60 credits per month and a watermark, then a Starter plan at $15/month with 150 credits and no watermark, and a Pro plan at $29/month with the social scheduler, AI B-roll, export to editing software and a team workspace. One credit equals one minute of source video processed, whatever the number of clips produced.
Opus Clip excels at clipping, but works first and foremost in English and includes a smaller volume: around 300 minutes per month on the Pro plan, versus up to 1,000 on Petit Panda. It also offers no MCP server to be driven from an AI agent like Claude.
Petit Panda is a tool designed in French that clips your long videos like Opus Clip, then publishes them directly to 6 networks from a single calendar. It includes a large clipping volume (up to 1,000 minutes of source video per month on the Pro plan) and runs directly from Claude through its official MCP server, which Opus Clip does not offer.
Petit Panda offers 3 plans: Pro at 49.99 €/month with 1,000 credits and 25 accounts, Business at 149.99 €/month with 5,000 credits and 50 accounts, and Agency at 499.99 €/month with 20,000 credits and unlimited accounts. Since 1 credit equals 1 minute of source video to clip, the Pro plan covers up to 1,000 minutes of clipping per month, roughly three times the volume of Opus Clip's Pro plan. Annual billing gives 2 months free, and the monthly plan starts with 7 days free with nothing charged unless you stay.
On pure clipping, Opus Clip goes further, and it's fair to say so. Its virality score, AI B-roll and XML export to Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve make it a deeper specialist on that single job. Opus Clip also has a free plan and a $15/month entry to test, where Petit Panda starts at 49.99 €/month after a 7-day trial, even though the clipping volume it includes is much higher.
Choose Opus Clip if video clipping is your only need and you want the most advanced option on that niche, with a virality score, B-roll and export to your editing software. Choose Petit Panda if you clip at volume and want a lower cost per minute (up to 1,000 minutes per month on the Pro plan), publish directly to 6 networks and drive everything from Claude through its MCP, in a French interface.
Submagic and Vizard are other clipping and caption specialists, very close to Opus Clip. For multi-network publishing without clipping, Buffer, Metricool and Hootsuite schedule your posts, while Petit Panda is the only one to combine clipping and multi-network publishing in French, drivable via MCP.
