10 Amazing AI Tools for Video Creators

Hey, I'm going to try and make this as brief as possible because I know your time is valuable. Ten AI tools, all genuinely useful for video creators. Let's go.

1. Altered Studio

I don't know about you, but I sometimes don't like how my voice sounds, especially recording narration or voiceover. Altered Studio's morph feature not only cleans up the audio a bit, it transforms my voice into "Morgan," a 40 to 50 year old dude with a way better beard than me. God I wish I could be Morgan. There are tons of voices to pick from with adjustable parameters, and some are better than others. There's also a denoiser and voice cleaner, but another tool in this list does that job better, so the morph feature is the main reason I'd use this one. Solid free plan if you want to try it.

2. LeiaPix Converter

This creates a parallax effect from any photo you want to use in your videos. Incredibly useful for documentaries, music videos, that kind of thing. You can adjust the animation length and style, and use the depth map tool to control which parts of the picture move. Free of charge at the time of recording. One heads up: it didn't work in Chrome for me for some reason. Safari works.

3. Adobe Podcast

Adobe put out a quality tool here, and before you skip ahead assuming it's a subscription, it's not. It's a free voice cleanup tool that improves rough audio immensely. I tested it with an iPhone recording, arm fully extended, noise in the background, and the result after running it through Adobe Podcast was night and day. Useful for nearly every creator: wedding filmmakers, YouTubers, documentary shooters, corporate work. When audio doesn't come out great, this solves it almost instantly.

4. Gling

You upload your unedited video and the AI automatically cuts out silences, bad takes, and mess-ups. It's not always perfect, so glance through the transcript, and either hit the scissors icon or highlight sections and press delete for anything else you want gone. Export an XML to Final Cut, Resolve, or Premiere and your footage opens perfectly cut up. Best of all it's non-destructive, so you can recover cut parts since it works from source footage. Gling has saved me hours and hours. It is a subscription, but there's a nice perk for YouTubers: basically free service if you mention Gling in your video descriptions.

5. OpusClip

OpusClip takes your videos and makes vertical clips out of them. The AI figures out the subject of your shot to frame the vertical crop, cuts it up, adds subtitles, and often creates multiple options ranked by how well each would perform and why. It doesn't work for every video type (it doesn't really cut it for my editing tutorials), but it's apparently amazing for conversational content like interviews and podcasts.

6. ChatGPT

The most well known one, and it may seem boring since it's talked about so much, but it's so immensely useful. Need a video contract drawn up? Give it your production company, your client's name, and the requirements. Need a model release? Almost instant. Ideas for videos in your niche? It's got you. I find it really helpful drafting emails to clients and brands. Pro tip: start with the prompt "act like a professional in the videography and editing business". The "act like..." framing helps a bunch. Then briefly describe what you want, copy the draft, and tweak it to fit your own voice. It's basically a personal assistant.

7. CreatorML

If you create videos on YouTube, try this one. It's essentially A/B testing for thumbnails and titles: feed it lots of variations of both, and it scores them and tells you which pair the AI thinks will perform best. I use the free version, because even though the paid tiers have cooler features, they're really damn expensive.

8. TheOasis

Immensely useful if you have video ideas and tasks rattling around your head. It takes what you say, even if you ramble, cleans it up, and puts it into whatever format you pick: a to-do list, an outline, an elevator pitch, a film script, a summary, even "explain it like I'm five." It simplifies or expands your thoughts to help you actually get things done. Free, by the way.

9. Topaz Video AI

This upscales lower resolution footage. I tested 720p footage where you could see the lack of detail in the subject's hair, and Topaz intelligently sharpened it. It does a fairly good job, though not as great as I was hoping. It can also convert normal 24 or 30fps shots into slow motion, which works best when there's not a lot of motion in the shot.

10. Runway

Maybe the one that interests me most. Runway has something like 30 AI tools in one place. Its frame rate to slow motion converter actually impressed me more than Topaz. You can generate video from text prompts (landscapes come out well; faces and animals can get a little freaky). There's frame interpolation that morphs a series of photos into an interesting slow motion video, plus tools to brush out parts of a shot, blur faces, cut people out, upscale resolution, clean up audio, and generate transcripts. A lot of it is free with limited minutes and 720p exports, and full access is a subscription. For everything you get, the price honestly isn't bad.

Let me know which tool you found most useful, and if this helped, the video above has all of these in action. Have a great day!
