Opus Clip Alternative
Woven Video is an Opus Clip alternative for Mac creators. It finds the strongest moments in a long video or podcast, such as a claim, a story or a strong answer, and cuts each one into a clip with captions. It removes silences and filler words across the whole recording in one step and reframes landscape video to vertical, keeping whoever is speaking in frame. Then you refine each cut by chatting or on a real timeline.
