Best AI Video Generators for YouTube in 2025

AI video generators have reached a level of creativity that was unimaginable just a few years ago I mean these AI tools can create full videos that include a script voice over video footage subtitles whatever you want one of the tools that I'm about to share with you cut production Time by 90% for one of the channels that I own so if you want to get ahead of the game right now is the best time to adopt these AI video generators all right so I've done a bunch of research and there's only three AI video generators

that I think are even worth discussing in this video the first one is inv video AI this one arguably has been on top of the game for a while but let's see how it still compares to number two which is pictory AI and number three flicky AI all of these are AI video generators that can create full videos for you now to truly figure out which is the best I will compare all of them based on the following points now to keep this fair I'm going to be making the same video on each AI tool

that video will be how Paris became the most popular tourist destination in the world all right let's see if we can get these AIS going starting off with invid AI to start making a video on each tool you need an account I will leave a link to nid AI in the description down below so that you can sign up for free and then follow along this video this right here is where you get going with your video instead of the traditional way because this is an AI video generator you can simply tell it which video

you want to create which is insanely easy and Powerful here's how to works I can now say create an 8 minute YouTube video in English and by the way you can do this in any language you desire explaining how Paris became the most popular tourist destination in the world and that is literally all you need to do keep in mind you are the creative brain behind this video so you can tell it any direction and it will then follow that in the video now to truly figure out how far these AI generators can go I'm

going to ask it to include a joke in the intro I'm going to tell it to use a specific type voice over use a young British accent male voice over and I want this video to start with a drone shot of the Eiffel Tower let's see if it can do that if I tell to do so start the video with a drone shot of the Eiffel Tower all right and just like that that is how you start your video Next Up Click generate a video it's now going to analyze what you told it so the

AI is going to interpret what do you want to create and how can I do that now next up as soon as that is done it's going to ask ask you three different questions and based on that that's how your video will turn out and here's what I mean so you can choose the audience so for who do you want to optimize the video I'm going to go with a general audience so that we can reach a broad public for the look and feel I always go with clean as that's a style that I just

like but you can go with bright or inspirational the platform obviously is YouTube I already told it that so then we can click continue and then right now the AI is going to create our complete video so I'm just going to click notify room ready and then we'll get back to to that as soon as that is done next up we've got pictory AI this is one of the most popular tools when it comes to creating videos with AI technology but how does it work so on here with is the homepage you can see that

it's already much different than in video AI here they've got a few different features available however to make a full video with AI technology you have to click right here on script to video it will analyze the script and then based on that it will add Clips as well as a voiceover subtitles Etc into your video lazy as I am I asked Chad gbt to write a script for me so we're going to paste that in pictory Ai and then within a few seconds I'll be able to click on proceed in the top right corner

there we go and then from this moment on the AI is going to do its work so those are all the steps necessary to get the initial first result ready on pictory AI on flicky AI what we'll see is that it's kind of a mix between both so to get started with your video you want to click on new file in the top right corner then you want to give that file name I'll just Tittle it Paris for now and then choose first of all the language which you've got pretty much any language available the

dialect so you can choose what kind of accent you would like the voice over to have now to compare this to the inv video AI I'm also going to go with a British accent here then we've got the aspect ratio which is already said correctly and here's where flick AI gets interesting because you click on start with and here you've got a couple of options just like on in video AI you can make your video with a prompt but but also just like pictory AI you can have it done with a script as well as

a Blog a PowerPoint tweet product and template so on flicky AI they've got multiple options for you to turn whatever it is that you have into a video which is cool to see however of course we got to go with the prompt video because that's the cool stuff so let's go to submit and then we'll end up right here this is where you tell it which kind of video you want to create now I will just start off by sliding this bar which is for the duration of the video to 8 minutes just so that

we can make a fair comparison to nid Ai and then right now we got to enter the prompt which I will just copy from what I told nid AI to do so that we can compare it the best way possible all right so that said now you've got a couple of other filters that you can optimize for so regarding the stock media that is going to use in your video you can choose if you would like to feature videos or if you would like it to autop pick images now 100% always go with videos that's

just much better then you can also include AI media now this will be generative AI which is fantastic I will show you more about that later you've got templates so you can choose any preset however I don't recommend using that so I'll just stick to stock media you can choose AI avatars in case you would like to have that in your video which are these stock avatars honestly I'm not too big of a fan of that so I'm not going to include that what is interesting though is that you could potentially create the entire video

with AI generated images and videos which is different to what in video Ai and pict three AI I do if you're confused as to why that is let me break it down for you but first let's click submit and there we go flicky AI is now going to work on creating this entire video for us so right now all the AI generators are done let's preview the initial result of each tool and see what they made first of all starting off with inv video AI let's see how it did why did the crant go to

Paris because it wanted to be a Pano sha all right so a joke yes they've got that in the intro let's see if the Eiffel Tower shows up it's also a male voice over so that's good all right enough with the dad jokes let's get serious about Paris Paris the City of Lights is not just about bread all right so that's definitely not bad the only thing that they're missing as of right now is the Drone shot of the Eiffel Tower now within just a minute I will show you how you can customize anything in

these AI tools to adjust the video to a point where you're fully happy with it and ready to upload but first let's preview pictory AI now remember because this is script video I did not ask it to do a joke or a specific scene so this will just be the initial first generator [Music] result all right so that is uh quite horrible there is no voice over attached automatically so we have to do that later on in the video apart from that it's it is a clip let's put it that way and then we've got

flicky AI now remember I asked it for a m voice over British accent as well as a joke and the Eiffel Tower drone shot let's see how it did Eiffel secret how Paris became the tourist Capital right at the bat you can tell me a lot but you cannot tell me that that is a male voice over a drain shot of the Eiffel Tower with uplifting background music sets the stage that is also not a drone shot itself but for some weird reason it seems to be putting my prompt in the actual video in the

actual text is actually reading what I directed it to do so as you can see right of the back not all AI tools can make a proper video out of these three in video definitely turned out the best the other two are almost unusable if not unusable so with that said let me now show you how you can customize a video on any of the platforms starting off within video AI changing a clip a voice over or anything in here is actually very similar as to how you started to produce your video they've got this

box right here which is called the command box now in here you can tell it what you would like to change so for example if you'd like to change the opening shot you can say change the opening shot to an Eiffel Tower drone shot then in order for the AI to actually apply that click generate and it will now automatically change it which in my opinion is great because if you don't have much video experience yet and you're not so good with video editing this makes it extremely accessible for anyone to do and there we

go it just actually changed that and that doesn't only go for video footage you can also tell it to change the script so I can say rewrite the intro joke then click generate and it will then automatically change that and that goes for any element of your video including music and voiceovers and as you can see it did that perfectly on top of that you can also manually do this as well as upload your own footage the way you would do that is by clicking on edit right here then if you manually want to change

anything for example a clip you can click right here on that clip you can then head over to search and then I can type in croissant hit search and then they're going to find a matching clip based on what you search for from their stock Library which has over one million Clips so I can now scroll through and then for example this one looked quite good or actually let's put these like there's a lot of them click replace and then click apply changes right here and it's then going to change the clips so once again

you don't really need to do much or have any technical skills but it will still change it pretty fast to upload your own footage you would click on upload media right here here and then select a file from your local device so customizing your video is easy to do it's pretty fast and it does not require much technical skills let's now compare that to pictory AI now right at the bat you'll notice that it works kind of differently right you've got a different layout this is called the storyboard which means that on the left hand

side which is right here you will have all of these scenes now a scene so c number one c number two means one small part of your script with a video attached to it the way you go about customizing your video on pictory is that you select the clip that you would like to change for example see number four right here you click on it it will then be previewed on the right hand side and that's where you can customize it now let's say that I want to change the background clip right here I can

go to visuals and then also search for a keyword within the stock Library just like on in video AI to then change the scene so for example if I would go with Eiffel Tower and hit search I will get to see all of these clips right here I can then scroll through and then choose any clip i' like let's say that I like this clip in order for this now to show up in my actual video all I need to do is just click it just like that and it's now inserted so that right there

is extremely easy to do so it's pretty beginner friendly the only difference is that you still have to work your way around yourself and learn how it works rather than with nid AI you can just tell it what to do and it will automatically do that and the same goes for anything else let's say that you want to change the subt titles you simply click on them right here this menu bar will then appear and that's where you can change the font for example to mustard or the sizing for example to 22 instead of 24

you can make it bold you can do whatever it is so once you've done that I recommend you click on apply to all so that the same style appears throughout the video that once again is something that you have to do manually you cannot tell an AI to do it so make sure you pay attention when editing and that's how you would go about making your video on p 3 AI you would go scene by scene so you would continue to click through change the background clip in case you want to as well as customize

the text in case you want to and that way once you've gone through all the scenes you've got your full video now you can imagine that's going to take you way more time than with invid AI for example which you will see back in my final verdict later in this video but first let's see how flicky Compares so customizing our video on flicky AI as we've seen is highly necessary so what I'm going to do to save this video is I'm going to delete scene number one there we go scene number two and scene number

three so that our video now starts off right here now you can see that flicky is kind of a mix between both in video and pictory because this right here kind of looks more like the storyboard that we've seen on pictory but you have to keep in mind that the video was made in a similar way as in video AI because this script right here is fully done by Ai and it also automatically selected the clips with AI so up until this point I have not done anything now the way you would go about customizing

is very similar to pictory we cannot tell it what to do but we have to manually do this ourselves so you would go to a scene you would then click and then go to media and then you can once again search for a different clip let's say I would like to go with this one I can click on this and then I can click select and that will then show up in our actual video on the right hand side you can do even more editing they've got everything such as animations as well as effects whatever

it is they've got it available that is definitely not the problem on any of these tools now what I want to specifically mention on flicky is something really cool so if you go to media and then go to generate they've actually got generative AI integrated into the platform which means that you can give it instructions and then it will actually create that with AI so if I say create a drone shot of the Eiffel Tower it will actually make that so it's not going to pull a video from a stock library but it's going to

generate it itself you you can choose to go with an image or a video clip I'm definitely going to go with video clip right here and you can also choose this style you can choose 3D model anime whatever they've got a lot available for now I just stick to cinematic and then click generate then initially it's going to give you a quick preview a quick sketch which as you can see is right here which already looks very cool then I'm going to click generate video using this image and there we go that might take up

to a few uh seconds depending on what it is that it's going to create as soon as that is done you can then insert it into your actual video while it's doing that I just want to tell you that that is something that's really cool because on the other tools as of right now that is not possible and here we go the clip is now here if I preview that guys look at that that is absolutely fantastic so I'm going to click use this video clip and there we go that is now inserted similar to

pictory from here on you'll simply go scene by scene and then adjust it based on how you want it to be the same goes for the subtitles you simply click the menu to edit it will show up on on the right hand side where you can change colors sizing Etc let's say I would like it to be red just like that it now becomes red very simple stuff easy to use is kind of drag and drop editing however we're not done yet because our videos would not be finished without a voice over now what's cool

is that with two of these AI tools you can actually clone your own voice so that you never have to record it yourself like I'm doing right now let me show you how that works starting off with inv video AI now on here voiceovers are already automa rally attached on the first result that you get however if you want to change the voice over there's only one way you can do it which is by telling it what kind of voice over you'd like now in one way I really like that because that saves you a

bunch of time scrolling through list with hundreds of voiceovers to actually find one that you need but then on the other hand I also like a bit of control where you can just click on one of the names which you'll see later as well and then you can continue to use that over and over again so if I like to change it I would then simply type again using a young female voice from the USA then I click generate and then it's going to find one and automatically apply it to the video so that is

pretty simple and the same process as I've showed you before now that's all cool and all but I would like to see my clone voice attached to this video to see if you guys think that it actually sounds like me so for that you click on the free lines in the top left corner and you go to voices from here click add voice and then follow the instructions takes a couple minutes and then in video AI will clone your voice now don't worry this will only be usable to you and your account so it's not

like you clone your voice and then I can use it it will just be you yourself so you can see I've got my voice right here which is called Yuri so if I go back to the video and then I'm going to type use Yuri voice over click generate and there we go so I'm not going to play that clip for you let me know in the comments down below if you think it sounds like me Paris the City of Lights is not just about bread though the French certainly know their way around a bakery

on pictory AI to apply a voice over which is not done automatically you want to go to audio on the left hand side click voice over and then you can choose between a list of different voices like I previously referred to depending on the plan you've got on pictory for example the professional plan like I have myself you will get access to premium voices which are integrated from 11 laps which in my opinion is the best voice over platform in the game as of right now so that is good to see you can then preview

that by clicking right here for example Abby the only thing to do with good advice is to pass it on and that's what you can do with all the voiceovers in the list then as soon as you found one that you like to use all you need to do is Click generate and apply and that voice over will then be applied to your video and that's all you need to do you don't need to sync it yourself or whatever which can take a lot of time it's all done automatically so that's good to see on

top of that you can filter for any of these languages right here as well as accents ages the purpose of your video and gender on on flicky AI once again it's a mix of both in order to apply a voice over which is automatically done as well but in order to change it then click on the voiceover right here it has a name and then once again a whole menu will appear for you now because in the prompt I told it to use a British voiceover you can see that the dialect is set on the

UK If you change this to the US you'll see that there's a whole list that appears as well now these voiceovers I don't believe but don't quote me on this are in integrated by 11 Labs however some of them are still quite nice one that I like is Carlton fleeky helps you create audio and video content using lifelike AI voices in less than a minute and what you might have noticed right at the bat is that one of the voices has my name now this in fact is also a clone voice over which I've already

done but if you've not done yet the option will appear in the top right corner so I'm going to of course attach my own voice just like that click apply to all scenes and then click select right here and then I'm going to play the clip for you and now I want you to comment whether this voice over sounds better or the Nido AI voiceover I definitely have my opinion and one that I like more but I'll put that in the final verdict which is coming up very soon Paris the journey to world's favorite tourist

destination ever wondered why Paris is the world's most beloved tourist destination all right so by following all these steps that I just did you'll be able to create full videos without showing your face with these AI tools however which AI video generator is the best let's take a look at the points across the table starting with the ease of use inv video AI is extremely simple to use even if you don't have any video experience once you open the tool you can simply tell it what to create and it will do so once that's done

you can also edit the video by simply telling it what you would like to change that is perfect for people that are just getting started but also for advanced people because it would just save you time so that leaves me no other choice than to give invid AI a five out of five for ease of use when it comes to pictory AI it's easy to use but it doesn't have any prompt features which means you need to manually navigate the platform now that can take a little bit more time to learn than in video apart

from that it definitely has everything you need you can change and customize everything rather quickly for the drag and drop editing system is just that you need to do most of the work yourself so when it comes to an AI video generator I would give this a 3.5 out of five there's definitely room for improvement ment here licky AI also has a prompt video feature which is great they also allow you to get started making a video with other things such as a script a PowerPoint or even a tweet so from there on it's pretty

much the same system as pictory now given the fact that they've got an initial prompt feature allowing you to get the base of your video ready pretty much right away I have to give this a higher score than Pi three AI ending up with a four out of five for ease of use moving on to the quality of The Voice voiceovers and I'm very curious what you think here so the quality of voiceovers on in video AI is definitely good I do wish however that they've got the option for us to see which voiceovers you're

using and potentially choose from a menu of voiceovers rather than only being able to tell in what kind of voice you'd like their voice cloning feature is pretty cool you upload the file and it's done pretty quickly in my opinion it sounds pretty accurate all of that in mind I got to give this a four out of five then pick three AI now their voice overs might have the highest quality as they've partnered with 11 Labs I also like that there's a ton to choose from and that they've got the menu from which you can

just select it yourself so the quality itself five out of five however they do not have a voice cloning feature so the overall score on voiceovers I got a cut back to four out of five as well I'd love to see The Voice cloning feature at it as soon as possible on flicky the voiceovers are all right there's a lot of them on the platform but there's only a handful of good ones I personally like the Carlton voice a lot so choose that one in case you want to use it and they do have voice

cloning however in my opinion and let me know if you guys agree the voice over my clone voice on in video was a lot better than flicky what I like to see is that they take more time to clone your voice because they do it instantly which yes instantly is good but i' rather wait a couple hours days whatever and then the voice over be better right now they did it instantly but it sounds m ending up with a 3.5 out of five for their voiceovers then we've got editing now when it comes to editing

I don't want to cover the exact way as to how you put together a video as that was already discussed in the ease of use instead I want to take a look at the type of video that you can put together with these tools as in how does the video come out does it feel cheaply produced or does it feel smooth and elegant with in video you'll notice that the AI automatically adds film burn effects as well as animation and transitions into your video now that is great and I like that because it makes the

videos feel less static overall given the fact that you change some clips yourself you can make a video that looks pretty well produced making it score a 4.5 out of five for pictory it's about the same however I feel like it's slightly cheaper produced the effects and transitions on pictory are very old school when using pictory I personally like to stick with a clean look and not add any of these effects but rather just choose clean b-roll footage with these subtitles at the bottom of the screen so that that way you can still put together

a good video 3.5 out of five with flicky just like usual I believe it's in the middle the style that you can create is quite nice especially because you're able to add AI generated images and videos so if you do it right you'll definitely be able to make a clean Style video making it rank between Nido and pictory with a four out of five then the time it takes to create a video on a video it's about 20 minutes as everything can be done very quick with the AI prompt on pictory it's definitely going to

take much longer between one and two hours depending on the video length it's quite slow as it's all manual work on flicky AI it takes about an hour it's a mix of in video and pictory and then a very important part for a lot of you the pricing per video now for pricing in order to calculate this I have base this on the price per video minute now what's important to know is that I've calculated these based on the plan that I think you should get per year starting off with invid AI now do note

there isn't a free plan however if you're serious about content Creation with Nido I do recommend a paid plan and I personally would go with the max plan because of the minutes of content that you can generate so if you were to get this plan right here it would cost you 24 cents per video minute on pictory AI I would say at least you would need the professional plan as that comes with the better voiceovers which would cost $39 a month with 600 video minutes which comes down to about 7 cents per video minute now

that is a lot cheaper than in video however keep in mind on this tool you need to do all the work yourself on flicky if you would like voice cloning and all of the other features that I did describe you would need the Premium plan which is a massive $66 per month which gives you over 7,000 minutes per year which comes down to 11 cents per video minute so so definitely a lot of different pricing going on here all right so with all of that said which tool is the best in my opinion in video

AI is for anyone that wants to create full faceless videos entirely with AI quickly so if you do not want to spend time writing a script and then manually editing everything and you just want videoos done properly the good way the Quick Way in video AI is definitely for you pick three AI is more for anyone that wants to manually create a video and adjust stuff yourself and you just need a simple tool that allows you to do that they're not even really an AI generator they're more like a scripted video tool and then flick

AI is for anyone that would like a mix of Both Worlds they are an AI video generator but then in order to edit you actually need to do the work yourself now the best overall choice in my opinion based on AI video generators if we keep that in mind has got to be in video AI because they're actually the only ones that allow you to fully create videos with AI so if you want to try that out I'll leave a link for you in the description down below which allows you to sign up for free

but keep in mind if you're serious about the content that you like to produce you can consider taking a paid plan just like I've got myself in fact I'm using nid AI to grow this channel up on the screen and I actually talk about that on this video up on the channel right here so go watch that in case you're curious and then I will see you in the next video
