I tried a few AI tools but honestly, sometimes they overdo effects and it looks kinda cheesy in Shorts. Need something subtle.
Anyone tried Lumen5? Heard it's good for turning text into video, which could be handy for making content fast.
Any tips on blending AI tools with manual editing? I like AI stuff but feel it needs some human touch.
I've been using InVideo for a bit and it's surprisingly good for quick edits and some AI magic to auto-generate clips. Pretty handy!
CapCut is my go-to. Free, easy to use, and packed with features. Plus, it has AI stuff that helps with subtitles and effects automatically.
I wish there was an AI tool that can suggest the best clips from longer videos automatically for Shorts.
Anyone else use Adobe Premiere Rush? It’s a bit more advanced but pretty good for Shorts too.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools. I found some cool AI-based editors there that I hadn't heard of before, super helpful!
For those on mobile, Quik by GoPro is pretty handy for quick video edits and has some automated features.
I use Descript to edit my videos. The transcript feature is awesome for cutting down clips to the best parts fast.
Veed.io has some neat AI features for subtitles and translations. Makes Shorts more accessible to a wider audience.
Sometimes I just use TikTok’s built-in editor for Shorts since it has lots of trendy effects and easy export options.
For AI art and thumbnails, I use Canva's AI features. It’s really helped my thumbnails pop and get more clicks.
I’ve seen some AI tools that generate captions in different languages automatically, perfect for expanding audience.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Gonna try out a few and see which fits my style best.
