AI video generators for business: how to choose and test them

AI video tools fall into three groups: generators that create footage from a prompt, editors that cut and caption your own clips, and avatar tools that turn a script into a presenter video. Most small businesses get the most value from editors that speed up real footage. Test any tool on one short ad or reel before paying for a year.

Three kinds of tool

How to choose

• If you have phone footage of your work, start with an editor. Real footage builds trust.
• If you need short visuals you cannot film, try a generator for b-roll.
• If you need the same explainer in several languages, avatar tools save studio time.
• Check export length, resolution, watermark rules and commercial use terms on each plan.
