40 Applications of AI for Video
This list of AI applications for video is a practical resource that demonstrates the various ways artificial intelligence can enhance every stage of your video creation process. Its main purpose is to provide a wide range of applications so you can identify the best ways to integrate AI to save time, improve quality, and scale your video content.
Content generation and pre-production
AI can create video content from scratch in various ways. It can transform a raw script into a complete video with stock footage and an AI voiceover, or instantly create a summary video from a blog post URL. You can also automatically turn a PowerPoint presentation or PDF into an engaging video. For planning, AI can write a full video script based on a simple prompt, create a visual storyboard from your script, or analyze a script to generate a detailed shot list with suggested camera angles. It can also use a realistic AI avatar to present your script on camera, eliminating the need to film yourself.
Automated and advanced editing
AI can drastically reduce your editing time by automating common tasks. Text-based video editing allows you to edit your video by simply editing its auto-generated transcript. AI can also analyze long-form content to find the most engaging moments and automatically edit them into shareable short clips. It can clean up “talking head” videos by automatically removing silences and can automatically balance the colors in your footage to look natural. For more advanced effects, AI can remove the background from your video without a green screen, digitally erase unwanted objects, or increase the resolution of low-quality footage
Marketing and optimization
To help with promotion, AI can instantly create a promotional video for an e-commerce product by pulling information directly from its store page URL. It can also generate multiple video ad variations with different hooks and calls-to-action from a single product description. For optimization, AI can analyze your video to identify the exact moments where viewers drop off or become most engaged. It can also write a full, keyword-rich description for your video to improve its ranking on platforms like YouTube.
