Do you know any AI video service that has free AI subtitles? Without watermark 😅?

Have you tried all 3 video editors? Can you show us something you made with them? Personally I find just editing in iMovie faster and more AQR8

@sentry_co have spent some time and did some hands on. maybe just spend few minutes and experience them once :)
@amit_arora I do it half manual. I use AI for script, AI TTS VoiceOver and AI research, AI subtitles. Then do the final stitching in iMove. Here is one I made with this half AI half manual approach yesterday. It took under 3 hours:

@ali_shaheen nice, what didnyou like about it? would love to learn, Ali :)
Nice list! I haven't come across Fliki before. I've enjoyed using Capsule - it's got helpful tools for automatically cutting out white noise and also editing by transcript.

@katrinarodriguez gald to see you liked them. how have you been using Capsule?
I've been playing around with Synthesia and Elai.io recently to make some short explainer videos. The AI avatars are pretty impressive, but I agree that for more complex edits, I still prefer a traditional video editor like iMovie or DaVinci Resolve. The AI tools are great for quickly generating a talking head video, but anything beyond that I find faster to just do manually. Would love to see examples of videos others have made with these AI tools though!

@thomasjackson that's great point. So, how is your typical production journey like?
I've played around with a few AI video tools like Synthesia and Runway, but found them a bit limiting compared to traditional editors. Though I did make a fun retro-style music video with Runway's '80s effects pack. 😎 Would love to see examples of what others have created with AI video tools! I agree though, for most projects I still find myself sticking with Final Cut or Premiere for the precision and creative control. 🎥

@jamesedwardthompson hahaha, you tried a cool thin with runway, James. What do you reply so much on Final Cut? Tried DaVinci Resolve as well?
I've played around with a few AI video generators like Synthesia and Runway, but found them a bit time consuming to get decent results compared to just editing footage myself in Final Cut. Would love to see examples of videos others have made with AI tools though - maybe I'm just not using them effectively yet!
