3 affordable AI apps for time-strapped video creators

Making videos is a tedious way to make a living—or at least it used to be. Lately, it’s gotten a lot easier because AI video tools have gotten shockingly good in a short amount of time.

Here are three worthy tools that can save hours and hours of time, enhance creativity, and streamline workflows, all without breaking the bank.

Happy Scribe: AI Transcripts and Subtitles

Happy Scribe is an AI-driven platform that offers automatic transcription and subtitling services. It’s a game-changer for video creators who want to make their content more accessible and SEO-friendly. I’ve been using this to create product videos for my day job and the transcripts and subtitles are super accurate, saving me several days of manual work each year.

It’s not perfect: There’s always a little bit of tweaking to be done, but its transcriptions are very close. There’s also an option to pay a bit more to have a human team fine-tune the outputs.

Dozens of languages are supported, and pricing starts at $10 per month for 120 minutes of transcribed content.

ElevenLabs: AI Voice Generation

ElevenLabs is an advanced AI voice technology platform that allows creators to generate realistic voice-overs for their videos. This tool is particularly useful for creators who want to experiment with different narrative styles without the need for voice actors or expensive recording equipment.

The pièce de résistance is the professional voice-cloning feature, available on the $22-per-month creator plan. I fed it a few hours of my past voiceover work and it cobbled together a Robo-Doug accurate enough to pass off as the real McCoy for most of my everyday video work.

If you record a lot of voiceovers, I don’t have to tell you how much time this could save you. It’s almost shocking.

Pricing starts at $5 per month but, again, spring for the $22 Creator plan to get your voice cloned like a boss.

Runway: AI Video Creation and Editing

Runway is an video creation and editing platform that offers a range of AI-powered tools.

It’s capable of outputting impressive text-to-video based on written prompts, but there’s also a slew of other helpful features to help with your post-production work, including background removal, depth-of-field adjustment, color grading, scene detection, motion tracking, background noise removal, and a ton more.

Pricing starts at $12 per month, which includes the ability to feed your past work into the system to create a custom AI generator based on your particular style.
