Generation, editing, subtitles Β· 27 tools
AI video is moving from 'post-production assistant' to 'generation engine'. You can now turn a script into a clip, extend a still into motion, or auto-generate subtitles and voiceover in one workflow β drastically lowering the bar for short-video and marketing production.
Different tools fit different stages: text-to-video and creative fragments suit Runway, Pika, and Kling; editing, subtitles, and dubbing suit CapCut and similar all-in-one editors. For commercial delivery, pay attention to generated-content licensing and platform rules.
