Filmora is a powerful yet simple video editor for growing creators, popular for its AI tools and diverse effects.

About

Filmora

Filmora hits that sweet spot—powerful enough to make you look pro, simple enough that you won't need a manual. You've got all the essentials: effects, transitions, motion tracking, color tools, plus AI features that actually help (like detecting silence and removing backgrounds). It's built for creators who want to level up from basic editing without the learning curve of pro software.

The trade-off? It's not quite Hollywood-grade. While it'll handle most of what you throw at it, the real pros might miss the deep control and plugin ecosystem of Premiere or DaVinci. Think of it as the perfect middle ground—way beyond amateur, not quite blockbuster. So where are you in your journey: ready to graduate from basic but not ready for film school? For simpler workflows, try an AI silence remover that also handles YouTube video editing without the complexity.

Claap is an asynchronous video collaboration tool for remote teams, allowing users to screen record and comment on videos.

About

Claap

Claap reimagines team communication through video. Instead of writing long emails or sitting through meetings, you record your screen, share it, and teammates comment right on the timeline. It's async video collaboration that actually makes sense. The AI even summarizes meetings and transcribes everything, so nothing gets lost.

But here's what it's not—a creative video editor. This is about communication, not content creation. You won't be adding effects or crafting narratives. It's Slack for video, not Adobe for artists. Perfect for teams who want to communicate better, not for creators making the next viral hit. What's your goal: better team collaboration or beautiful video content? For creative teams, consider tools designed for startups or specific industries that need both collaboration and content creation.

Maybe I'm wrong but Wondershare is probably the most underrated editing software on the market right now. You've got to try it and really get to understand it to truly get what I mean.

Wanted to convert an audio recording to text, the very service that CLAAP offers. I completed the forms with my private data, received an e-mail from them, which doesn't allow you to reply to them. After completing my data and logging in. There is no option to send an audio recording to them. At best it was incompetence.All disappointing

Frequently asked questions

How does an AI clip maker work?

An AI clip maker scans long-form videos or podcasts using artificial intelligence to automatically identify the most engaging moments, then slices them into short clips with captions, animations, and transitions. It's a powerful way to repurpose content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

One thing to note is that an AI clip generator is not necessarily an AI video generator.

Can AI-generated videos be monetized on YouTube?

Yes, as long as your AI-generated videos follow YouTube's monetization guidelines and add original value—like commentary, visuals, or voiceovers—you can absolutely monetize them. AI tools help you create faster, but your creativity is still the magic ingredient.

How do I add a text-to-speech voiceover?

Most AI video editors have a text-to-speech option built in—just type your script, choose your AI voice, and click generate. It’s an easy way to add professional voiceovers to explainer videos, product demos, or tutorials without recording anything yourself.

How does text-to-video AI work?

Text-to-video AI turns written text prompts into fully edited video content—complete with visuals, animations, subtitles, and voiceovers. It automates video production so creators can go from script to video clips in minutes instead of hours.

How to switch the AI Avatar’s voice category?

Most AI avatar tools have voice categories based on tone or language—you just head to the voice settings and pick a different category (like professional, energetic, or friendly). It’s like casting the perfect voice actor, but instantly.

What are the top AI tools for generating video clips?

Top AI tools like Submagic, Pictory, and Descript make it incredibly easy to generate short clips from long-form content. They handle captions, visuals, templates, and even AI voiceovers—ideal for creators repurposing webinars, podcasts, or YouTube content into snackable, engaging videos for social media platforms.
