#331 - These are the 7 Best AI Tools for Video Editors

Is AI to be feared or leveraged?

Will AI take your job and usurp human creativity?

Do AI tools democratise technical creativity in unparalleled ways?

Is AI the future of everything? (bruh)

Whatever your answers to these questions, the AI toothpaste is on its way out of the tube, so we may as well put it to good use.

But there are a lot of AI apps and services out there that are more hype than substance, so how do you know which ones are worth your time and even your money?

I've curated a long list of some of the best tools I've seen and used but here are my top 7 AI-based tools that Post Production professionals of all kinds should weave into their workflow.

The 7 Best AI Tools for Video Editors

These tools can help you move a lot faster, saving time and effort whilst also helping you to earn more money, for example, by offering your clients a more comprehensive set of deliverables (such as subtitles in multiple languages) with less effort on your part.

You'll also be able to deliver more polished final edits such as more accurately matched colour grades, cleaner sounding audio or more sophisticated looking visual effects and graphics.

All thanks to AI.
