The Opus Clip alternative you buy once.
YouTubers pay monthly for screen recording, captions, clipping and scheduling before the channel earns a cent. One-time tools fix the cost of production at the price of a single video's ad revenue.
The tool this job usually means renting is Opus Clip, at $29/mo (Pro) — roughly $348 a year, every year. Bloom Clipper does the job for a one-time $29 — running locally on your own machine.
Open any MP4/WebM/MOV/MKV, or pick straight from your BloomRecorder and Bloom Meeting libraries with thumbnails.
For youtubers, any source video pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.
Scrub, set start/end, add the cut — every cut is an editable row you can tweak to the tenth of a second, preview in place, or delete.
For youtubers, cut marking on a timeline pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.
One aspect-locked crop box over the source: drag to move, drag the corner to zoom, with a live zoom readout.
For youtubers, full 9:16 angle pays off between filming and the upload deadline — and it's covered by the same one-time $29, not metered per month.
One payment of $29 gets you the packaged installer. Or clone the MIT source and build it yourself for free.
Load any landscape video, scrub the timeline, add cuts, then drag the aspect-locked crop — or stack two boxes for an interview — while the phone preview shows the final result live.
Every cut renders to 1080×1920 H.264 with faststart, straight into a clips folder next to your source. Add local Whisper captions if you want them burned in.
Bloom Clipper is $29, once. Opus Clip at $29/mo (Pro) — roughly $348 a year, every year. One month of Opus Clip Pro costs the same as owning Bloom Clipper outright — every clip after the first month is pure savings.

Bloom Clipper costs $29 once; Opus Clip charges $29/mo (Pro) — about $348 a year. For youtubers, that fixed cost is the whole point: the tool is a one-time line item, not a monthly one.
No. Bloom Clipper makes zero network calls — clipping, captions, silence removal and rendering all run locally via bundled ffmpeg and on-device Whisper.
Half 9:16 mode gives you two aspect-locked 9:8 crop boxes, one per speaker. The render crops and scales each to 1080×960 and stacks angle 1 on top of angle 2 to fill the 1080×1920 frame.
