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: Windows Movie Maker

How do I add photo and videos?

Simply open by folder or drag and drop

I'm sorry I just saw this! On the home tab, there's a place to click near the upper left that says "Add Videos & Photos". That's it. Then just select what you want to add. Tip: I save all my pics/videos I want in a folder and rename them so that they're all in order in that folder. (ie 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 2.1, 2.2, etc). This way you can just copy and past everything in the folder and they'll insert in that order. It makes it a TON easier! If you want to add another photo in there, just click where you want it to add and then do the "Add Photos & Videos" and select what you want to add in there. You can easily move things around once they're input just by clicking and dragging. Hope that helps!

Question on: iMovie

How to put text in image

iMovie is a great tool for video making It has the right features and it is really easy to use

Putting in text is easiest with Titles, but you are limited to the styles iMovie gives you and the fonts they provide. If the Titles option works for you, it is simple. However, as mentioned you can use Canva or Photoshop (my preference) to put text on a still image, save it as a .jpg, and then insert it into your iMovie project. Hope that helps!

Answered: Jennie Reinish on September 27, 2019

As the others mentioned, you can do it with titles. Or upgrade to Final cut Pro. :)

Answered: Jimmy Chickey on September 27, 2019

You can go to Titles at the top bar of iMovie and select one of those to put text over an image. Otherwise, you can create text in an image in Canva or Photoshop and place the image in iMovie with the text already on the photo. Hope this helps!

Question on: Adobe Premiere Pro

How can I color correct multiple footages at the same time?

I have one footage used several times in timeline, how can I color correct single footage and it can apply to all cuts?

Color correct one individual clip, and then copy the effect from that clip (lumetri color or whatever color correction effect you are using). Then you can select all the other clips that need the same color correction and paste all at once.

Answered: 289bd4b2d29a96382442e40b3ae12b3f4fa210e5 3bf3802cdd4ad5465cc577eede0c8ddf9a240b98 on September 27, 2019

You can copy and paste clip effects easily in Premiere as long as the effect you're looking for is already applied to at least one clip on the Timeline. . On the clip that has the effects you want added to everything, Right Click > Copy. That will copy the clip itself, but also the effects, which is what you want. To apply it, select the rest of your clips (CMD+A) and Right Click > "Paste Attributes..." . This will bring up the Paste Attributes dialog box, which governs which effects will be pasted from the clip you copied. The first couple are "Video Attributes" that are applied to each clip: Motion (whether the frame is moved up, down, or scale) and Opacity (the Opacity or Blending Mode of the clip). Below that will be a subheader with checkboxes for whatever effect you've applied. Customarily, you will see 'Lumetri Color' listed. Make sure it's checked, and hit the blue 'Okay' at the bottom-right of the dialog box. . Voila! You've just applied that one effect to every clip in the timeline. This method also allows you to adjust the parameters of the effect on each clip; should you need to make small changes to one. . Alternatively, if you haven't applied any effect to anything, you can apply a blanket effect to the Sequence itself by selecting all clips (CMD+A) and Right Click > Create Nested Sequence. This makes all the clips one big 'nested' sequence that displays as a single, continuous clips. From here, just apply whatever effects you like to the Nested Sequence and it will cover all the clips within it.

Answered: Ben Adams on September 28, 2019

Another method, is to create a nested clip/sub clip. Wherever you copy and paste that NESTED Sequence, and when you change the video file and its color in said Nested Seq. it will update everywhere. Best of luck!

Answered: Shawn Smith on May 6, 2020

The easy way is using the tab MASTER CLIP, that is top right on the Lumetri screen. using that you can make the CC for all instances of clip.
