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: Shotcut

Is there any other software i can integrate this with?

I can not speak to a true API integration if that is what you are asking. I can share the other tools/software that I have used alongside ShotCut. I'm an instructional designer using Shotcut to edit live training events that are recorded via Zoom and JoinMe. I have also imported video from YouTube for editing. I have added voice-over tracks recorded in Audacity. I have also created programs in Doodley and imported them within larger programs. On the output side we have taken the completed Shotcut projects and added them to training programs built within Articulate Storyline 2. And ultimately uploaded final programs into our corporate LMS which is hosted by Bridge. All in all Shotcut is a great tool that has helped us move our training content forward

Question on: Final Cut Pro X

What is the best way to color correct?

I am struggling to understand the color correcting interface/layout. Any tips?

Youtube got me through all my FCPX trouble shooting. This video briefly explains using the color board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CC2L-Ec8GTM

There are some great tutorials on YouTube for how to use color wheels and curves, but I'd also recommend free 3rd-party plugins for increased grading functionality using LUTs and presets.

Answered: Shalom Jaffe on December 14, 2021

It really depends on each individual. I like to use a plugin called FilmConvert - just as a base. It is a film emulation plugin that incorporates your camera and what color profile you shot in. (Log, Raw, etc.). Once I do this, I add a color board effect, and make sure it happens before (above) the film convert plugin. I will adjust exposure and balance my color. Were the highlights too yellow? Too magenta? Too blue? You can even open your vectorscope as you adjust your color from the color board. After you balance color, you can then add your personal taste to it. Maybe you are stylizing it and you want to alter colors differently instead of perfectly balanced. That's when it's fun, and all subjectively yours. Don't forget that you can add a hue/saturation adjustment as well. These are great for making specific tones in your image different. Maybe the green shirt was so bright, but everything else in the frame looked balanced. You can use the hue/saturation tool to select just the green tone, and adjust the hue, luminance, and saturation.

Question on: DaVinci Resolve

why has davinci resolve 16 got so many problems? is it in the Hope's users will upgrade?

I think it's mainly because their main product it's not video editor, but color correction and around that, they built a capable video editor that perhaps, the more features you need, the most problems you find. In my experience, looking for a capable video editor with no fancy needs, Resolve has been a good fit.
