Best AI Video Tools

The best AI video tools cover very different jobs: generating clips from a prompt, presenting a script with an avatar, turning a product page into an ad, building videos from articles and slides, cutting long recordings into short clips and editing footage through its transcript. Each vendor's own pages decide the score, so export resolution, watermarks, privacy and price all count. How we score.

Professional video editors (Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Filmora) are ranked on Video Software →

They are still compared and still count towards the averages. We publish no score, because too much of one would be our guess rather than their figures. Not publishing is not a mark against the product, but it is what you cannot find out.

Buying guide

How to choose an AI video tool

Video AI covers jobs that have little in common, so pick the kind of video first, then price it on a month of the work you will actually do.

  1. 01

    Start from the video you need

    Footage from a prompt comes from a video generator such as Kling or Runway. A presenter talking to camera without a shoot comes from an avatar tool such as HeyGen or Synthesia. Footage you filmed yourself goes into an editor such as Descript or CapCut, or, for a full professional edit, the editors on our video software page. Long videos cut into shorts is Opus Clip’s job, and a script or article turned into video is what Fliki and Pictory do.

  2. 02

    Price it on a month of real work

    Generators and avatar tools spend credits or minutes, so the monthly plan price says little on its own. Work out what a normal month of your output costs, including the retries it takes to get a usable clip. That is how we price the generators here: on the cost of a working month, not the cheapest plan.

  3. 03

    Watermarks, rights and your own face

    Free plans usually add a watermark, and commercial rights often start on a paid plan. A custom avatar or a clone of your voice needs your recorded consent on the serious tools. And check whether the vendor trains its models on the videos you upload, because several do by default.

Scoring

How we rate AI video tools

Every score on this page is out of 100 and worked out from what each vendor publishes, never from a demo or a sponsor. Each kind is scored on its own split of the points. Below: where the points go, every check behind them, and how the tools above did on each. Every rule, in full

What it can generate

What can the model actually make? Sound and speech generated with the picture, animating a photo you upload, keeping a character the same from shot to shot, setting the first and last frame, camera moves, and how long one clip can run.
