8 Best AI Video Editing Tools to Use in 2024 – InstantFollowerz

I’ve been editing videos for almost a decade, both professionally and for my passion projects. So trust me when I say that I know how tedious editing even the shortest of videos can be.

Fortunately, many AI video editing tools can help speed up the editing process, whether you’re a novice or an expert videographer.

Here are the 8 best AI video editing tools I’ve found and what I like best about them.

The best AI video editing tools

1. Adobe Premiere Pro

I’ve been using Adobe Premiere Pro for work and for my passion projects for 10 years, so I was intrigued when the video editing software announced that new AI tools were available on its platform and that more were on the way.

Here are some of my favorite AI tools within Adobe Premiere Pro:

This feature allows users to automatically generate their transcripts, highlight text, add clips to their timeline, edit, reorder and refine their clips as they would a text document.

• AI audio tagging categories

I like this feature because it makes audio editing easier by recognizing whether a clip is music, sound effects, dialogue or ambient sound and providing access to the relevant editing tools based on the audio type.

To make your videos more accessible, Adobe Premiere Pro’s speech-to-text feature automatically generates transcripts in up to 18 languages. It can also distinguish between speakers and create subtitles that match the video’s rhythm and speech pattern.

price: Plans start at $22.99 per month.

Best for: From intermediate to professional video editors. Although beginners can use Adobe Premiere, it takes a little time to learn.

2. DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve has many AI tools and has been building AI into its platform for years. What I find most interesting is its facial recognition. Now, keep in mind that I have very minimal experience with DaVinci Resolve, so I don’t have much experience with this feature.

However, its facial recognition allows users to group clips based on the people who appear in them. All I would have to do is select a group of clips and right click and select “Analyze Clips for People”. From there, DaVinci Resolve will scan the clips, evaluate the faces that appear, and group clips with the same faces.

If you’re editing a video event with a lot of people and want to narrow down your clips to include a specific group, this feature will save you time and effort.

price: Users can download DaVinci Resolve for free or purchase the studio version for $295.

Best for: From beginners to expert video editors.

3. CapCut

I can’t scroll through TikTok for more than a minute without seeing a video edited with CapCut. I’ve never used CapCut, but I’m really amazed at the quality of videos people make using the app.

CapCut is known for being a simple video editing application that is suitable for anyone, regardless of their level of editing experience. Part of what makes CapCut so easy to use is its AI tools, which can do most of the work for you.

For example, let’s say I have a long-form video that I want to shorten so I can upload it to a short-form video platform like Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts. I can take that long-form video, upload it to CapCut and identify the highlights, and the app will generate a shorter version of the video.

price: CapCut is free to use, but paid options start at $20.84 per month.

Best for: Editing short videos for platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.

4. Runway

Runway is a platform specialized in creating AI tools for video editing and other aspects of visual art. To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend Runway to beginners or those with no experience.

The platform can do a lot, but its plethora of tools and how to use them can be overwhelming. Even I, a seasoned video editor, was only able to estimate the tip of the iceberg of what Runway could do.

However, its AI video generator is easy to use. To test it, I entered a prompt looking for a video of a cat frolicking in the woods chasing a butterfly. The pictures weren’t perfect, but I can see them being used to find concepts or inspiration for shots or art.

price: Runway is free with limited features, and paid plans start at $12 per user per month.

Best for: Professional video editors.

5. InVideo

I am quite familiar with InVideo using it to create TikTok videos some time ago. You can read all about it here if you want to know my experience with InVideo.

In short, I enjoy InVideo because it is very easy to use. Unlike Runway, I definitely recommend it to marketers and creators who want to produce simple short-form videos with little or no video editing experience.

My favorite feature of InVideo is its AI text-to-video tool. When I used InVideo to create a TikTok, I entered a script into a text box, selected a few images, and the platform generated scripted video in just a minute.

price: InVideo is free and pricing plans start at $15 per month.

Best for: Edit and generate short videos on a tight schedule with little or no experience.

6. ClipChamp

Clipchamp is a video editing application from Microsoft that allows users to easily create videos even if they have no video editing experience. An outstanding AI tool is its AI text-to-speech, which boasts over 400 voice styles in 170 languages.

Users can choose the mood, pitch, accent and gender for their voice.

price: Free for beginners and prices start at $11.99 for everyday editors.

Best for: Beginners who want to make short videos.

7. Description

I found the description quite easy to use. It’s a platform that boasts a variety of AI tools, and one that I find the most convenient is the AI ​​Transcript Generator. I posted a video of me talking to my cat (don’t judge me) and the AI ​​transcribed it perfectly.

I then uploaded a video from a concert I went to where the singer shouted the name of the next song over a crowd of screaming fans. The AI ​​misheard the singer, so the transcription was incorrect (the title of the song is actually “Space Ghost Coast to Coast”).

However, Descript allows me to edit the transcription so that it is correct.

price: Limited features are available for free, and prices start at $12 per person per month.

Best for: Beginners editing videos in a hurry.

8. Wondershare Filmora

Wondershare Filmora is a cross-platform video editing software that is known to be ideal for beginner and intermediate video editors and creators. I was impressed by the number of versatile AI tools available that I found while browsing his site.

One tool that stands out to me is AI Frame Interpolation. This feature enhances video visuals without losing quality, automatically upscales low frame rates, and supports various video formats including GIFs.

If I want to slow down a video without making it look worse, AI Frame Interpolation would be most useful.

Wondershare Filmora’s AI Vocal Remover is also interesting. The user can separate the vocals and music from the song and keep the sound quality high while removing the vocals.

price: There is a free version with limited features, and the price starts at $49.99 per year.

Best for: Beginners and intermediate editors who want to create long or short videos.

Editing a video can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the project. If you’re interested in how AI can streamline the process for you and save you some time, you now have new tools to try out for yourself.
