Top 5 great AI video editing tools that you should know

With the help of artificial intelligence, many video creation and editing tasks that you find complicated, cumbersome, etc. have become easier. Because of the influence of artificial intelligence, AI can help us write scripts, edit videos, create clips and even appear in front of the camera.
Below is an overview of the top 5 AI video tools that receive many positive reviews in the design world. Let us introduce to you how to use each tool and its useful features.

1. CapCut

If you're looking for a video editing tool that doesn't rely solely on artificial intelligence (AI), CapCut is a great choice. This is not a pure AI video editor, but an AI-integrated video editing tool. However, it offers many modern and interesting artificial intelligence features that you can use for free.
CapCut has become a popular video editing tool for many people, especially in the media, because it is easy to use but still ensures outstanding features. The computer version of CapCut is one of the simplest and most effective video editors. Its AI features can help us save significant time, such as:

• Automatic Subtitles: CapCut can create subtitles, even in the presence of accented voices.
• Create scripts from prompts: You can easily turn ideas into scripts for videos.
• Create short advertising clips: From longer videos, you can quickly create short advertising clips.
• AI Avatar: Create unique avatars for your videos.
• Create ads from product URLs: Easily create ads by simply entering the product URL.

And let's not forget a feature that is quite interesting and new to many users: converting videos or photos into styles like Pixar characters or oil paintings. Although these AI videos are not as practical as the main features, they are definitely interesting.
CapCut is available on mobile devices, computers and web versions. Most features are available in the web version. 

2. Description

If you're the type of person who doesn't like traditional video editing, Descript is the tool for you. Instead of dragging and dropping videos on the timeline, Descript allows clip editing based on the audio recording, just like text editing. This is extremely useful for those who make podcasts or videos with a lot of talking.
Descript helps you save time with many smart features such as:

• Transcript-based editing: Split, trim, and edit videos based on speech content.
• Delete unwanted footage: Remove unnecessary parts of the video.
• Create chapters for YouTube videos: Divide videos into clear chapters.
• “Good Clips” search warehouse: Easily search for interesting videos or audio clips to share on social networks.

The most outstanding feature of Descript is the ability to delete filler words or other unnecessary words that can be removed with just one click, which saves a lot of time compared to doing it manually.
However, if your video doesn't have a lot of speech or you're not familiar with this new way of editing, Descript may not be the ideal tool.

3. Runway

Runway is a pretty powerful AI video editing tool and might be a bit of a novelty if you're just starting out. It can create videos and animations from text prompts, turn still images into videos, and create synced avatars from voice recordings. You can even train your own AI model with Runway.
Runway has the potential to become a complete AI video production studio. You can create an entire movie without filming a single scene, but that requires a lot of time and patience. 

With features like background replacement, removing objects from footage, or blurring faces in video backgrounds, Runway is useful for marketers and content creators.
However, Runway may take time to get used to all its features if you are not a design expert. 

4. Lumen5

Lumen5 is also a great tool for marketers. You can quickly convert your blog posts, presentations, or speaking clips into professional videos with just a few clicks.
One of the favorite features is the ability to paste a link to a blog post and let Lumen5 automatically create a script for the video. If you are not comfortable recording video, you can let Lumen5 create a video from this script.

Lumen5 offers custom branding templates and animated footage, perfect for showcasing new products or important announcements. The intuitive Canva-like interface makes it easy to adjust elements like animations, music, and style.

5. Synthesia

If you need a host in your video but don't want to appear yourself, Synthesia is a great choice. Synthesia offers over 70 avatars and 120 voices to choose from (with premium plans having up to 140+ avatars).
If you want to be in the video but don't want to record yourself, you can let Synthesia create an avatar for you. This process requires you to record a video to Synthesia's specifications and submit it for AI processing, which can take up to 10 days.

Synthesia is great for training videos or product tutorials. Synthesia's editing tools are easy to use, and you can choose from many templates for professional results. However, voice and avatar integration may not be perfect, so you should experiment to find the best option.
Hopefully, this list will help you choose the right AI video editing tool for your needs!
