# Create and edit video

Editorial revision: 2026-10-28. Product documentation dates and access limits are shown on individual listings.

> Which AI video tools fit generation, footage editing or transcript editing?

Choose the operation first: generate new footage, change an existing clip, or edit something already recorded. Compare control over the material and the delivered file, not just a sample video.

A hand-picked shortlist from the Agent Search Engine index. Every pick is a real listing; the repository, pricing-category and activity figures are recorded catalogue fields, not performance tests. Browse on the web: https://agentsearchengine.app/use/create-and-edit-video

## Editorial starting points

### Reference-driven creation: Google Flow
- Limited free access; paid model/credit tiers · Platform · License not checked
- **Setup:** Web — eligible account / credits
- **Why:** Flow supports generated video and reference/frame controls. Account, age, region and subscriber entitlements vary; confirm the model and export path available to your account.

### Transform existing footage: Runway
- One-time free credits; paid recurring use · Platform · License not checked
- **Setup:** Web — plan / generation credits
- **Why:** Runway's Aleph editing workflow changes existing clips. Check duration, resolution, audio and model access for the exact operation; documented controls are not proof that every requested change preserves the rest of a scene.

### Transcript-based editing: Descript
- Free editing; one-time AI credits; paid tiers · Platform · License not checked
- **Setup:** Editing app — plan / usage limits
- **Why:** Descript combines transcript editing with audio/video production and AI assistance. It is a different starting point when you already have an interview, recording or spoken script to edit.

## What to watch for
Test a short representative clip before committing to a longer production. Inspect continuity, speech timing, captions, resolution and export quality. Generation attempts and revisions consume allowances, and a vendor's demonstration does not establish reliable control on your footage.
