AI Video Editor

Video editors are where most short-form actually gets made: cutting, captioning, adding music, exporting in the right aspect ratio. The AI ones speed up the boring parts, like auto-cutting silences or matching captions to your audio. The right pick depends on how you work. If you edit on your phone between shoots, you want something mobile-first. If you batch on a laptop, look for keyboard shortcuts and a timeline you can actually control. Start with what fits your daily workflow, not the longest feature list.
