AI audio editing tools

You can’t make great videos without great audio. A top-tier editor should include AI editing tools for noise and filler word removal, audio leveling and enhancement, plus more.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

Is there an AI that can edit videos?

With the rise of AI in all sorts of digital fields, it’s no surprise that AI can also help you edit videos. Many video editors have incorporated AI tools, which help streamline and speed the editing process. Instead of spending hours fixing audio or trimming your videos, with AI tools like Riverside this can all take mere minutes.

You’ll also find AI video makers and generators that can create video from text. The fallback here is that some AI-generated videos don’t look natural. We’d rather suggest you record original content and use AI tools to edit and polish your content faster than ever.

Can ChatGPT do video editing?

Chat GPT itself isn’t really for video, but many video editors are using it as a foundation for executing editing tasks faster than before. Instead of having to find the right Chat GPT inquiries, an AI Editor already does this for you and will deliver exactly what you need. AI video creators are using this for AI transcription, automated cuts, and more. 

Which is the best AI video generator?

The best AI video generator is specific to each person’s needs. There are video generators that create content from scratch using AI avatars and text-to-video software. On the other hand, other video generators use already recorded content to create shorts, summaries, or completely edited videos.

Based on our best AI video generator guide, here are some of your top choice

  • For shorts and talking-head content: Riverside
  • For AI avatars: Synthesia and Deep Brain AI
  • For text or scripts to video: Pictory or InVideo

Does Adobe have an AI video editor?

Yes, Adobe does have AI video editing tools as part of Premiere Pro. That said, Premiere Pro may not be the best AI video editor if you’re short on time or you’re not familiar with the platform. Premiere is more for advanced editing, and the desktop app requires high PC resources. In this case, you may be better off using an intuitive video editor online, like Riverside.

Is there a completely free AI video editor?

It’s totally possible to find a free AI video editor, but you’ll want to make sure you’re not compromising on quality. Luckily, Riverside’s video editor which boasts numerous AI tools and capabilities, is available on its free plan. You can record or upload your content and then head to straight to the editor for a seamless AI editing experience.

How to use AI for video editing?

The amazing thing about AI is that it really simplifies your editing process into a few simple clicks. If you’re working with Riverside, you use AI in the following ways:

  • Edit your recording by simply deleting text from AI transcriptions. 
  • Fine-tune your audio by deleting background noise and normalizing levels at the tap of a button. (Learn how to remove background noise from video and audio with our practical guide.)
  • Create AI clips of your key moments and full episodes with customized captions and enhanced audio, all ready to share. 
  • Generate AI show notes, chapter titles and descriptions to help you boost your videos’ SEO efforts.
