The Problem: Video Production Takes Too Long
Making videos used to take me 13 hours per video. Between scripting, recording, finding B-roll, editing, and repurposing.
After testing 10+ AI video tools over 3 months, I have cut that to just 2 hours.
My AI Video Stack (2026)
Scripting → Claude (45 min, was 3 hrs)
Claude produces the most natural scripts. ChatGPT reads like AI. Claude writes human.
Voiceover → ElevenLabs (5 min, was 1 hr)
Voice cloning + emotional control + 100 languages.
B-Roll → Runway Gen-3 (15 min, was 2 hrs)
Describe the shot. Get the footage. No stock hunting.
Editing → Descript (45 min, was 4 hrs)
Biggest time saver. Edit transcript like a doc → video edits automatically.
Repurposing → Opus Clip (5 min, was 2 hrs)
Auto-cuts long videos into Shorts with captions and viral scores.
Free Alternative (DIY)
ChatGPT + CapCut + Adobe Podcast = $0/month, 80% results.
