The 11 Best AI Video Editors for Creators and Marketers, Tried and Tested (+ Bonus AI Tool)

Take your content from simple to studio quality: Here’s a look at some of the best AI video editors available, who they’re best for, and how much they cost.

My resolution this year was to make more videos — or honestly, to make any video at all. So I wrote a script, hit record, and ended up with a bunch of footage I wasn’t quite sure what to do with.

I had questions. Lots of them. How do you add captions so everyone can follow along? What even is b-roll? And are video editors really as complicated as they look?

Enter AI: It’s already helping me work smarter in other areas. I decided to do what I do best — start experimenting. I set out to test a bunch of tools in search of the best AI video editors of 2025.

Most AI video editors now come with a pretty standard toolkit: they’ll clean up background noise, cut out filler words like “um” and “uh,” remove long silences, generate captions, and let you remove the background entirely if you want.

They even act as AI video makers and can use text-to-video capabilities to create complete videos with just a prompt.

Where things get interesting is when you look at which one of these AI video editors does these basic edits the best, what else these tools can do and, more importantly, which ones are worth using depending on the kind of video you’re making.

Here’s a breakdown of the best AI video editors right now, based on what they do especially well.

Adobe Premiere Pro is filled with pro-level tools that hand you plenty of creative control but also a bit more to learn along the way.

An AI-powered feature that stands out is Morph Cut, which really shines when you’ve trimmed filler words or awkward pauses from an interview or talking head video. Instead of leaving behind a hard, obvious cut, Morph Cut blends the clips so they play like one continuous take, as if the camera never stopped rolling.

And while almost every tool in this list can reframe horizontal videos into 9:16 for social, Premiere Pro goes a step further with its AI Reframe tool. It automatically finds the subject in your shot and tracks their movement so the final video stays focused on the action.

If video editing is a regular part of your week (or you’re working on something big), Premiere Pro is probably worth the time to learn and investment. For quick trims or casual clips, though, it might be more than you need.

Price: On its own, it’s $34.99 per month paid monthly ($37.99 per person for teams), also available as a bundle with the rest of Adobe’s 20+ creative tools
