HeyGen
HeyGen is an AI avatar video platform where users type a script to get a video, ideal for marketers and trainers.
About
HeyGen
HeyGen is wild—create professional videos with AI avatars that look and sound real. No camera, no studio, just type your script and pick your virtual spokesperson. You can even clone voices and create videos in multiple languages with perfect lip-sync. It's the future of video production, especially for training, marketing, or any time you need to scale video creation.
But let's talk about the elephant in the room—these are still AI avatars. While impressive, they might not nail the subtle emotions or spontaneity of real humans. Plus, there's the whole ethical thing about deepfakes and digital doubles. Amazing tech, but it might feel a bit uncanny valley for some viewers. What's your take: is the efficiency worth potentially losing that human connection? For authentic human presence without the uncanny valley, consider using real footage enhanced with AI-selected background music and marketing-optimized editing.

Claap
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.

I saw a colleague sharing a Heygen vid and honestly couldn't believe the results - had to try for myself with an extra critical eye. And...wow.

The platform and service keeps getting improved and has not disappointed us. The intuitive UI lends itself to making avatar videos and pictures a breeze.

False advertisement. I paid what I believed it was only 39 usd for the team plan and came to be 78 usd instead as they charge per user.

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.
