OpusClipReview: long videos into short clips

Viggle takes a still image of a character and makes it move. Give it a picture plus a reference video or a text prompt, and its JST-1 model maps realistic movement onto the character: walking, dancing, gesturing. The motion has weight to it, so the character looks like it's standing on the ground instead of floating. It started out on Discord and now has web and mobile apps, which makes it much easier to pick up. The free plan gives you five videos a day. The limits are real. Clips run under 15 seconds, there's no audio, and beyond the preset animation styles you can't customize much. It's fun to play with and good for quick social clips and memes. Don't expect an animation studio.

thestory.run is a LinkedIn writing coach that won't write the post for you. You drop in a rough thought. The coach asks you one question at a time, finds the point you keep circling, suggests how to tell the story, and then edits the draft you write yourself: keep this line, move that one up. Instead of a chat, the workspace is built around your week, with a posting pace, one post to finish, daily prompts, a streak, and half-finished drafts waiting. It's made by Swat.io, a social media company in Vienna, and runs in the EU. Teams get campaigns, a shared calendar and a wins board, but drafts and coaching chats stay private from managers. There's a limited "cheat mode" where the coach writes a post for you, and that post is permanently marked as coach-written. It's free for up to five people, then €1 per coaching session. If you just want posts written for you, this will annoy you.

AdAnt takes a product URL or a viral video and turns it into short vertical ads you can keep tweaking in chat. One agent reads your site and pulls formats that are working on TikTok, Reels and Meta. A second one rebuilds that format with your product and an avatar. You pick the template, the avatar and the product, and it generates a batch of 9:16 versions. You get 50 credits when you sign up. Pro is $32.50 a month billed yearly ($390) for 150 credits, which works out to about 300 seconds of video or 2,000 images. Max is $82.50 a month, also billed yearly. The Social Manager tab, which would schedule and post for you, still says coming soon. There's no proper editor, and if all you want is to chop a long recording into clips, OpusClip does that better.

zCAD AI turns a written description into a 3D part you can open and edit in CAD. Describe it the way you'd brief a colleague, with real numbers: an L-shaped bracket with a 60 mm upright, a 50 mm base, 5 mm thick, and a 6 mm hole through each leg. Add a reference image if you have one. You get proper geometry back, not a picture. It handles assemblies too, and the examples run from gears and pulleys up to a drone frame of about 14 parts. Every plan exports STEP, the file other CAD programs open. Once the AI gets you close, you keep refining the model in zCAD Online, the company's full editor. Free gives you 200 credits a month plus a one-time 600-credit beta bonus, but free models are public, used for training, and limited to non-commercial work. Plus, at $49.99 a month, makes your models private and lets you use them commercially. Pro, at $89.99, adds drawings and full editing in Online.
