How to choose video tools
Start with the job, because these tools split by task. Editors such as Descript, CapCut, VEED, Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve are built for editing video. Generators such as Runway and Luma AI create video with AI. Clipping tools such as Opus Clip, Klap and Vizard.ai cut long videos into short ones, while Synthesia, HeyGen and Colossyan make avatar videos for business use.
Next, check where each tool runs. Many are web-based, but DaVinci Resolve is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, and CapCut covers web, desktop and mobile.
Then compare pricing models. Many tools are freemium, Midjourney and Submagic are paid only, and Luma AI and Premiere Pro offer free trials.
Finally, consider API access and open source. If you need to automate video work, Runway, Klap, HeyGen and Synthesia all offer APIs. Audapolis is a free, open-source editor for spoken-word audio and video. We haven't tested these tools, so confirm details with each vendor.
Frequently asked questions
Are there free AI video tools?
Yes. Audapolis and WhisperX are free and open source, though Audapolis is a spoken-word editor and WhisperX handles speech recognition rather than video editing. Descript, CapCut, VEED, DaVinci Resolve, Runway, Opus Clip and Vizard.ai are among the freemium options. Check each vendor's site for free plan limits.
How much do AI video tools cost?
Listed starting prices run from $6/mo for ElevenLabs, a voice tool, to $59/mo for Colossyan. Examples in between include Midjourney at $8/mo, Runway at $12/mo, Opus Clip at $14.50/mo, Descript at $16/mo, Synthesia at $19/mo and Adobe Premiere Pro at $22.99/mo. Some tools, including CapCut, VEED and DaVinci Resolve, have no starting price in our list.
What should I look for in an AI video tool?
First, match the tool to the task: editing, generating, clipping or avatar videos. Then check that it runs on your platform, whether its pricing model suits you, and whether you need an API or open-source code. For example, Submagic focuses on captions and auto-editing for short social videos, while Colossyan focuses on avatar videos and interactive courses for corporate training teams.
What are the alternatives to Adobe Premiere Pro?
DaVinci Resolve is the closest match in our list, combining editing, color, VFX and audio post-production in a desktop app. It also runs on Linux, which Premiere Pro doesn't list. For browser-based editing, consider VEED or Descript. CapCut suits social media creators who want templates, and Audapolis is a free, open-source option for spoken-word audio and video.
