10 AI Video Tools You Should Start Using
Creating video content is time-consuming and often requires expensive software, but with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI), video creation has become much easier and more cost-effective.
AI-powered video tools have made it simple for anyone to create more professional-quality videos with just a few clicks. And the best part is most of these tools are incredibly user-friendly and require no prior expert knowledge or special experience in video production.
So, whether you’re a small business owner who wants to create brand awareness videos or someone who wants to create fun and creative content for social media channels, here are 10 AI-powered video tools you should start using right now.
Runway AI Magic Tools
INPAINTING
Probably one of your biggest headaches as a video creator is having to edit out unwanted objects or people from your footage. With Runway.ml’s AI-powered tool, called Inpainting, you can quickly and easily erase these distractions from your video like they were never there in the first place.
All you need to do is select the area you want to remove (like using a brush or lasso tool) then AI will automatically fill it in with pixels that best match the surrounding area without affecting the overall quality of the video.
REMOVE BACKGROUND
Another great AI magic tool from Runway is the Remove Background feature. This can come in handy if you want to switch up the scenery or add special effects to your video without going through the hassle of green-screening or taking a completely new shot.
Just select the subject you want to isolate, and the AI will do all the hard work to instantaneously remove the background from your footage, giving you a perfect cut-out of the subject with smooth edges and no artifacts. Plus, you can also export the cut-out to another video editor you’re using to even apply special effects or an overlay for added flair.
TEXT TO COLOR GRADE
Visuals can make or break a video, so you must have the right color palette and visual tone to convey your story or message. However, manually color grading and adjusting each frame's tone can take a lot of time to perfectly find the right balance.
Fortunately, Runway.ml has the perfect solution for this. With their Text-to-Color Grade feature, you can create a captivating and visually appealing video using color-grade palettes based on a descriptive word or phrase you’ll enter (e.g., “cinematic” or “vibrant blue”). Then AI will use its algorithms to adjust each frame’s color grade that fits your description.
RUNWAY GEN-1
Runway Online Video Editor has basically stepped up its game with the Runway Gen-1. This next-level feature takes the complexity out of video creation and editing that allows creators, with minimal effort and no expert knowledge, to generate video content from existing ones by just using texts and images.
For instance, you can take an existing video and apply the style of a reference image, like a painting of Van Gogh; then, Gen-1 will convert the video into that style—applying the same color palette and patterns from the reference image.
But it doesn’t end there! You can also use words to describe the style that you want your existing video to take on (e.g., “in the style of Star Wars” or “two-dimensional animation”), and the AI will do its best to match your vision. Yet, Runway Gen-1 is still in its development stage, so you can expect to see more exciting features and tools soon.
Adobe Premiere Pro's Sensei Ai Tools and Effects
AUTO-REFRAMING
Video framing and orientation are one of the most important aspects to consider when creating content—after all, you don’t want your viewer’s attention straying away from the video's main focus because of a poorly framed shot. That's what Adobe Premiere Pro's Sensei Auto-Framing feature is here to solve.
Adobe Sensei uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to simply change a landscape shot to a vertical one while keeping your video's main focus in the frame. It can also detect and track subjects in your footage and adjust the frame around it in real-time to keep it focused throughout the entire footage.
AUTO-COLOR
Adobe Premiere Pro's Sensei has yet another useful AI-powered tool called Auto-Color, which can be a lifesaver when color-correcting your footage. Auto-Color can analyze the colors and details in any frame and automatically adjust the saturation, white balance, contrast, brightness, and other elements to create an optimized look of your video—all without having you manually tweak every frame.
AUTO-TRANSCRIPTION
While voiceovers and captions can be a great way to add personality and context to your videos, applying these is no easy task. But with Adobe Premiere Pro's Sensei’s Auto-Transcription feature, you can save yourself the hassle of transcribing your video by letting the AI do it for you.
The Auto-Transcription feature uses advanced speech recognition technology to automatically transcribe audio and generate time-coded caption files for your video in just minutes. This can be beneficial if you’re creating videos that need to cater to viewers who are deaf or hard of hearing and perfect for creating dubs in different languages.
Deep Swap Ai-Face Tool
If you want to take your video creativity to the next level or create fun videos with an interesting twist, you should definitely check out Deep Swap’s AI face swap tool.
With Deep Swap, you can quickly replace the faces of people in your video and swap them with anyone, even celebrities or public figures. And what’s even more impressive is that the AI will automatically match your subject's facial expressions to look like they’re actually talking in the video— not a crudely edited face-swapped version just pasted onto the footage.
LALAL.AI
LALAL.ai is your go-to AI-powered video tool to extract vocals from background music or other audio tracks. This feature can be beneficial if you’re creating a tutorial video and need to make your voiceover audible over loud background music or sound effects.
It can also be used for creative purposes, such as extracting vocals from a song and adding them to a different track to create a unique remix. Or if you just want to avoid issues by removing copyrighted music from your video. No matter your use case, LALAL.AI is a great tool to have in your arsenal of video creation tools to ensure that your voice and message are heard clearly.
Timebolt Silence Remover
For long-form videos or even vlogs, you’ll want to ensure that you don’t have any awkward pauses or dead air between takes, as this could make the video seem draggy and unprofessional.
One of the best tools for doing this is Timebolt Silence Remover. It’s an AI-driven tool that can detect and remove any unwanted silent gaps from your video, giving it a much smoother flow. There’s no need to worry about the audio being altered or distorted, either. Timebolt’s algorithms are designed to ensure that the quality remains uncompromised after removing the silences without any choppy edits.
As AI-powered video tools continue to grow in popularity and sophistication, the possibilities for creating visually stunning and engaging videos are endless. And with the list of tools mentioned above, plus some creative video editing techniques, anyone can easily create captivating content without the need for complex software or a degree in video production.
