The Only 2 AI Video Editors You’ll Ever Need for YouTube
After months of testing, these made my edits both easier and more viral🔥
Where many editors go wrong is in the complexity.
Rather than think of the viewer, they get caught up in the tool.
Editors want cool transitions.
Editors crave impressive effects.
So, their editing decisions lean towards:
- “Check out this effect!”
- “Watch this 360° spin!”
But in reality, YouTube viewers want seamless storytelling, not glaring show-offs.
Both RunwayML and Opus.Pro understand this.
Instead of shouting about the tool’s capability,
they streamline it to enhance the storytelling experience.
RunwayML: What used to take weeks takes mere seconds
There is no faster way to remove a background from ANY video, or inpaint, and do a whole lot of other things than with RunwayML.
As a video editor, I keep going back to it.
I’ve been using RunwayML mostly to remove people and objects from the background because it just works so quickly and accurately.
Editing for YouTube requires we work quickly to get the video up on the internet, or back to a client.
This means some things I just couldn’t do because it would take months, like manually removing a background using a draw mask.
That is until now.
With RunwayML, these complex tasks take seconds.🤯
Opus.Pro
Earlier this year, YouTube rolled out monetization on YouTube Shorts.
Since then, long-form creators have been trying to figure out how to consistently post Shorts and regular widescreen, long-form videos.
The solution many YouTubers look to is to simply re-cut and repurpose their huge catalog of long-form, and post them as Shorts.
And this is where Opus saves the day.
Simply upload a widescreen YouTube edit or paste a link, and Opus.Pro:
- automatically cuts 5 Shorts, using your preferred dimensions for TikTok, Instagram, and/or YouTube Shorts,
- captions your video accurately (with emojis sprinkled in for interest✨)
- and arranges your 5 Shorts by potential virality, with explanations.
Pro Tip: I still make minor adjustments to the Shorts I end up using (you can edit on Opus easily), by changing the text color, or taking out a sentence I don’t feel is relevant.
Just last week, I posted my first AI-edited Short, and the results?📈
It immediately performed 2134% better than any Short I’ve posted. Whoa.
AI should amplify human touch, not replace it.
Here’s the thing: while tech is impressive, it’s the heart and soul we pour into our content that truly resonates with your audience.
I believe that AI, when used right, should amplify our human nuances, not overwrite them.
RunwayML and Opus.Pro haven’t just made my workflow easier — they’ve opened up avenues for my creativity to shine through even brighter.
