Runway, Kling, Google Flow, Luma Dream Machine and Pika cover generated video. Prompts and reference images supply the starting material, while duration, resolution and audio options vary by model. A short generated shot can be a component of a finished edit rather than a complete video.

Descript connects editing to a transcript, while CapCut combines conventional editing with AI features. Adobe Firefly spans generated media and creative production tools.

A generator creates new footage from prompts or references. An editor arranges and changes footage, audio and text. Some platforms offer both, with different limits for each operation.
Some generated-video models include audio, while avatar platforms add spoken narration. Other tools need a separate audio track or voice service; the available combination is product-specific.
