Not long ago, video editing required a decent level of tech savviness to navigate the complex software and understand the editing process. Today, AI video editor tools have simplified the process and now it's incredibly easy and accessible for everyone.
These new AI video editor tools have really upgraded their filters and effects sections, catering to the growing demand from creators who rely on videos for social media. For instance, CapCut was among the top 5 most-used apps in 2024, gaining immense popularity, particularly among Gen Z.
Consider mobile-first AI video editors as a separate category. They often include features like aging effects or picture-in-picture zooms, which are fun to explore but not usually practical for regular editing tasks.
Companies like Veed.io and Pictory have raised the bar by offering an extensive palette of features. Their platforms are designed to provide everything you need for video creation without switching tools. While these platforms excel in most areas, I’d argue that for generative AI, tools like Runway still work much better. And a pro tip: Don't overload your AI video editor by assigning it two missions at once: making it create a story and match frames at the same time. Focus on one task and handle the other manually for better results.
Then there are local AI video editors like Movavi, which require downloading and running the application on your computer. While the editing and data stay on your desktop, they still offer direct uploads to your social media accounts.
