AI Video Tools
Video is where AI tools are changing fastest and where marketing claims are furthest ahead of results. Generation tools make short clips from prompts or stills; enhancement tools upscale, restore and stabilise footage you already have. The second group is far more reliable than the first.
Costs matter more here than in any other category. Generation burns credits quickly, and a few seconds of unusable output still costs the same as usable output. Tools with free previews before you spend credits are worth seeking out.
What to check before you commit
- Clip length limits, which are often much shorter than the demos suggest
- Credit cost per second, and whether failed generations are refunded
- Whether previews are free before you commit credits
- Local processing if you are working with footage you cannot upload
