How to Choose an AI Video Generator
The right AI video tool depends on whether you need generation from scratch, avatar-based content, or AI-assisted editing.
#
Generation vs Editing
Runway and Pika excel at generating video from text or images. Descript and VEED focus on AI-assisted editing of existing footage. Choose based on whether you start from nothing or with raw footage.#
Avatar-Based Content
Synthesia and HeyGen lead in AI avatar videos. Synthesia offers more languages and enterprise features. HeyGen provides more realistic avatars and easier personalization at a lower entry price.#
Budget
Free tiers from VEED and Kapwing handle basic editing. For generation, Runway starts at $12/mo and Pika offers free daily credits. Synthesia starts at $22/mo for avatar videos.#
