AI video tools have gotten genuinely good. You can now turn a script into a polished video in minutes — here’s how to start.

A simple workflow

  • Write or generate a short script.
  • Use an avatar tool like Synthesia or HeyGen for a talking presenter.
  • Use Runway or Pictory to assemble b-roll and scenes.
  • Add AI voiceover with ElevenLabs or Murf.
  • Edit and caption in Descript.

Begin with one tool and a 60-second video before stacking more. Prices mentioned are starting points — always verify current pricing on the official site.
