Video is a powerful marketing tool for any business, but not everyone has the skills or the budget to create top-notch video content with motion graphics and VFX. So, in this article, we list some of the best AI tools for video creation that can help you create better videos faster. Whether you want to create animations, training videos, or start a podcast, this list has the best AI tools.
#1: Description
Descript is a powerful video and audio editing tool especially suited for podcasts. It can automatically transcribe videos with amazing accuracy (around 95% depending on the audio). It uses AI to apply an audio effect called Studio Sound to make your average audio sound like it was recorded in a studio. So you can create great-sounding podcasts in one click without a studio or expensive equipment.
Descript also has a feature called Overdub, where you can train an AI to duplicate your own voice or someone else’s, so you can seamlessly dub any part of a recording. Instead of having someone re-record something for you, just type what you want them to say and the voice clone of that person will speak it.
It’s easier than ever to start a quality podcast. More and more companies are turning to podcasts to build brand awareness and build domain expertise. If your business already serves a niche, why not create a podcast for that niche?
#2: Runway
Runway is an AI video editor with many AI-enabled features. Automatically remove green screen backgrounds, perform motion tracking, and more. It used to take hours of tedious work. Another impressive feature is the ability to seamlessly remove people and objects from videos. Runway speeds up the video editing process and eliminates reshoots.
Runway’s biggest claim to fame is its Gen-2 Text-to-video model. Text-to-video conversion is the next frontier in generative AI. Imagine being able to generate any kind of video from a simple text prompt. Gen-2 isn’t perfect yet, but it has the potential to make professional film-level production accessible to everyone.
#3: Synthesia
No camera, no microphone, no actors? Synthesia is an AI video generation platform that offers a library of AI avatars (based on scans of real people) that can be used to read your script. Great for informative videos on onboarding, training, courses, and more. Their AI voice of him is also very good and sounds natural. We provide templates for common use cases to get you started. All you need is a script, and the text-to-speech and lip-syncing will do the rest.
Another feature is that you can create an avatar of yourself or someone else so you don’t have to record yourself. Just create your own avatar and expand your personality endlessly.
#4: Screen Story
Screen Story, created by Lemons, a studio that creates cool animated screen recordings for tech and blockchain companies, makes it easy to do the same. Whether you’re looking to create a promotional video for a Product Hunt, demo, or tutorial, this tool will add value to your production without requiring animation expertise. Use AI to automatically perform smooth zoom-ins and track your cursor. You can animate the cursor and apply motion blur to all animations. You can also add a background to your screen recording to match your brand.
It’s currently only available for Mac OS, but a Windows version is in development.
#5: Kyber
We’ve all seen certain brands go the extra mile with very creative and artistic visual storytelling and animation. Kaiber makes it easy and affordable to create standout, artistic video content for your brand. One of its main features is Audioreactivity, which allows you to upload your song, synchronizing visual animations to the beat and rhythm of your song. You can also generate animated scenes from text prompts and transform the look of live-action footage with style filters. Kaiber is also useful for storyboards.
#6: Topaz Institute
One of the most useful tools I’ve used, Topaz Labs has a suite of AI-powered photo and video upscaling tools. Topaz Video AI can convert blurry low resolution videos to 4K and 8K at 60 FPS. The results are impressive and eliminate the need to buy a 4K or 8K camera. Anyone can use this tool to distribute high-definition videos.
