Yes. AI can create promo videos. Some AI video makers can create content just based off a script or description. But to keep that human touch, we suggest you go for an AI video tool that turns your actual recordings into polished videos.
For example, Riverside’s AI video editor doesn’t just generate avatars for your videos. You can record your own 4K content directly on the platform, then prompt the AI agent, co-creator to make edits for you.
There’s also AI tools to:
- Fix eye contact

And, more.
A promo video is a short piece of content designed to promote something. For example, you can promote a podcast, product, service, event, or even a personal brand. Its job is to grab attention fast and drive viewers to act, whether that’s clicking, subscribing, or buying.
Not necessarily. With the right tool, you can get studio-quality results on your own.
Riverside gives you pro-grade recording, AI-powered editing, and stock media libraries—so your promos look professional without hiring an editor or agency. That said, bigger campaigns might still benefit from professional strategy or copywriting.
Turn your ideas into promos that perform.
