Video: what to know
AI video covers three different jobs: generating footage that never existed, building a presenter-led video from a script, and speeding up ordinary editing.
Generated clips are still short, so plan a video as a sequence of shots rather than one long take. Avatar tools are the practical choice for training and explainer content.
How to choose
- Write the script first — every one of these tools is only as good as the script.
- For talking-head content, an avatar tool beats a generator: the message stays under your control.
- Check export resolution and watermark rules on the free plan before you build a workflow on it.
