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.

Riverside
Riverside is a remote recording platform that provides local, clear audio/video—perfect for podcasters and interviewers.
About
Riverside
Riverside.fm solved the biggest problem in remote recording: crappy internet ruining your interview. It records locally on each person's computer, so even if the call gets choppy, your recording stays crystal clear. For podcasters and anyone doing remote interviews, it's a game-changer. Plus, you get separate tracks, AI transcription, and a basic editor to clean things up.
But don't mistake it for a full editing suite. The text-based editor is clever for cutting interviews, but you're not adding fancy graphics or complex effects here. It's purpose-built for capturing great remote conversations, not for post-production wizardry. The real question: is getting studio-quality remote recordings your main challenge, or do you need the full editing package? For complete podcast production, combine quality recording with automatic transcription and AI content idea generation.

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.

Riverside.fm provides an outstanding platform that is intuitive, user-friendly, and backed by excellent customer support.
Caroline Esterson
The software is so clean and easy to use. It makes you feel like a professional editor even when you are simply a layperson! There is enough 'stuff' to help professionalise your recordings without feeling overwhelmed and it's intuitive interface means that you can hit the ground running.
Trevor
Poor poor poor. For the money they charge, there are always issues. We will be moving when our annual sub expires!! No native Windows version of the software is another joke.

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.
