5 Best Free Video Editing Software With AI Features in 2026

TL;DR: What's the best free video editing software with AI features? My pick is VEED, a leader in the Fall 2026 G2 Grid Report, with a satisfaction score of 100. G2 reviews repeatedly highlight its captions, transcription, voice tools, translation, and faster editing. The main tradeoff is that some AI-generated edits still need manual correction. Ranked by G2 Score, here's how the five video editing tools compare: VEED, G2 Score 88: Best overall for an all-in-one AI editing, bringing captions, voice features, translation, and browser-based editing together. Riverside, G2 Score 83: Best for repurposing podcasts, interviews, and webinars into clips, transcripts, titles, and other publish-ready content. Synthesia, G2 Score 82: Best for training, onboarding, and corporate videos that need to be created or localized without repeatedly filming a presenter. Camtasia, G2 Score 80: Best for screen recordings, tutorials, and software demos, with AI helping with narration, transcription, and editing. HeyGen, G2 Score 78: Best for beginners and avatar-led video creation, with a simple script-to-video workflow that minimizes traditional editing. Note: Free doesn't mean unrestricted. VEED, Synthesia, Camtasia, and HeyGen offer ongoing free access with limits such as watermarks, resolution caps, or generation allowances, while Riverside offers a time-limited trial.

Question on: Adobe Premiere Pro

How can I keep it from crashing and freezing

If I try to import something, it will keep spinning and eventually shut down making me lose all my work

Hey Shawana! Premiere is especially buggy the past few years. Theoretically adobe support can "help you optimize your software", but I haven't seen a ton of fruit with this. In my experience, there's not way to make Premiere less buggy and unreliable, but there ARE work arounds. This video has SAVED MY LIFE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c27zMG8b8Y0 It sucks being married to such a faulty product. I love premiere, but its the most unreliable video software on the market. Wish you all the best!

Well, that's a question we all have for just about any app. A good way to prevent your sequence/playback from freezing/lagging after working on a project for a while is to "Render In and Out" after selecting your "In" and "Out". I typically just select the portion I am working on, then hit "Render In and Out". You are able to watch the portion you just rendered without it lagging. But once you start to add more edits, you'll likely have to go through the process again. Typically, this is either because your computer's processor can't handle what you're doing, or because your sequence settings aren't set up properly.

Shawna, I have no SOLID answer myself. Sad to day but there are a list of factors to cause that one thing. I learned that since CC 2014, a lot of the subsequent releases, have had issues. NOT ALL, but most. I am VERY slow to adopt the latest and greatest. Sometimes, it's the footage, the Codec, the version of Premiere Pro itself. System resources, etc. I've had graphics cards and driver for those cards cause issues. EVEN, the Catalyst software years ago that run on Windows in the system tray. It would cause a system freeze with AE and Premiere Pro. Again, I'd look at the version you are running first. See if anyone in the online forums are running into the same issues.

Question on: Final Cut Pro X

Plugin's

Does Final Cut X have a place with recommended plugins or like it's own app store? I purchase some every once in a while but I figured it might be easer to see what is recommended. Also, is there a way to clear storage simply? I always end up having to delete original media in my event which then ruins my projects.

You have a few questions. First, there's not an "apple store" for FCPX plugins. Different companies will usually offer plugins for multiple programs on their own website. The only plugin I will recommend now is called Film Convert. It is a film emulation plugin that lets you have a multitude of options from 35mm film grain to super 8mm film grain, different kodak and fujifilm stock looks, and really makes it easier to match footage from multiple cameras. Your second question on clearing storage simply... what's likely happening is your render files take up a lot of space. When I'm done with a project I will delete all generated library render files. Where I work I have my footage on a server, so I never transfer the files into my original media. I choose the option to keep media in place on the server instead of putting them on my computer.
