Video is king, but editing is a nightmare. Luckily, 2026 has brought us tools that can generate avatars, edit by text, and even clone your voice perfectly.

We tested 20+ tools. Here are the only 5 you need.

1. Descript

BEST FOR EDITING

Video editing for non-editors.

Descript changes the game. Instead of fiddling with a timeline, you edit the transcript. Delete a word in the text, and it cuts from the video. It also removes "ums" and "uhs" automatically.

Realistic AI Spokespersons.
