Data Transfer Guide

Direct project migration from Opus Clip to InVideo AI is not possible due to different core technologies (clipping vs. generation). To transfer your data, first, export any original source video files you used in Opus Clip from their original storage locations (cloud drives or local storage). These raw videos can be uploaded to InVideo AI as custom media. Second, note the topics, styles, and successful formats of your Opus clips. Use these insights to craft effective text prompts or input transcripts into InVideo AI's 'Article to Video' feature. Save any performance data from Opus separately, as it won't import.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Opus Clip to InVideo AI?+

Direct project transfer isn't supported. Export your original source video files and use their content (or transcripts) as input for InVideo AI's text or article-based video generation features.

How long does migration take?+

For a solo user, expect 3-5 hours to export assets, learn InVideo AI's interface, and recreate a few test videos to adapt your workflow effectively.

Will I lose any features switching to InVideo AI?+

You will lose Opus Clip's virality scoring. However, you gain full video generation from text, a vast media library, and more creative control, which offsets this loss for most users.

Can I use both tools during migration?+

Yes, it's recommended. Use InVideo AI for new projects while relying on Opus Clip for ongoing or urgent clipping tasks during the transition period, which typically lasts 1-2 weeks.

Is InVideo AI cheaper than Opus Clip?+

Pricing is comparable on freemium models, but value differs. InVideo AI may offer more video minutes or features per dollar for generation, while Opus Clip is optimized for clipping. Compare current plans for your specific volume.
