Mai Pham, YouTube creator with over 3 million subscribers and recent participant in VidCon's Innovation Showcase, which Opus Clip was selected for, added, "Short form content is one of the hardest struggles that everyone talks about. When I post shorts, most of my subscribers come for the shorts and stay for the long-form content. It's way easier to reach a new audience by doing short-form content, and Opus Clip helps with that."
