Video and voice

What AI video and voice tools do

Video and voice tools help you make content that used to need a studio: short clips from long videos, explainer and training videos with AI presenters, realistic voiceovers, and transcripts you can edit like a document. For a small business that means more video content without hiring an editor.

OpusClip turns long videos into short clips. Descript lets you edit video and podcasts by editing the transcript. ElevenLabs makes realistic AI voices. HeyGen and Synthesia both make avatar videos from a script; HeyGen leans toward marketing and translation, Synthesia toward training and explainers.

How to choose

If you already record long videos or podcasts, start with OpusClip or Descript to get more out of them. If you need narration, try ElevenLabs. If you need a presenter without filming yourself, compare HeyGen and Synthesia on their free plans first.

Watch out for

Get permission before cloning anyone's voice or likeness, label AI-generated video where platforms require it, and review auto-picked clips before posting.
