AI Video Editor · 16 tools
Compare AI video editors that cut long footage into clips, add captions and B-roll, remove filler words, and edit by text — from talking-head repurposing to full timeline tools.
An AI video editor is software that automates editing tasks that used to be manual — transcribing footage, cutting silences and filler words, generating captions, and finding highlight clips. Many let you edit video by editing its transcript, so deleting a sentence deletes that footage. They range from text-based editors like Descript to tools that turn one long video into short vertical clips.
Turn long recordings into clean episodes and short clips without frame-by-frame trimming.
Auto-caption and reframe footage into vertical clips for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
Repurpose webinars, demos, and talks into promos, tutorials, and lesson segments at scale.
Cut, caption, and clean up video by editing text instead of learning a full timeline NLE.
The tool first runs speech-to-text to transcribe your footage and align every word to a timestamp. Editing the transcript, detecting filler words, or finding highlights then maps directly back to cuts on the video timeline. Captioning, reframing, and B-roll are added as separate models that read the same transcript and video frames.
