Steps
| # | Who | What happens | How | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OpusClip | Creates a clipping project from the video URL and lists clips | MCP | Confirmed · source ↗ |
| 2 | Cursor | Summarizes candidate clips with hooks | AI platform | Confirmed |
| 3 | You | Pick clips and approve captions | Human step | Confirmed |
| 4 | OpusClip | Exports approved clips | MCP | Confirmed · source ↗ |
Confirmed means the vendor documents it (linked). It doesn't mean IonBin has tested it. AI-platform and human steps need no source.
You pick and approve every clip.
Still to verify: API and MCP need Pro (Beta), Max or Business plans.
