I’m sorry, this title has a typo; let me rephrase it: How hard is it to generate a video in 2025, now with AI on the table? That sounds much better and more up-to-date.
Speaking of up-to-date, we’re not going to fight these 2025 trends but rather work with them:
- 35% of businesses have adopted AI, even those that operate on social media alone
- 75% of marketers now use AI tools, and many of those are video-related tools
AI-Generated Videos VS. Human-Generated Videos: Is It a Quality Battle?
Before the rise of AI video editing tools, an average video editor would have spent almost an hour on a one or two-minute-long video. Now, we’re probably talking seconds, thanks to AI editing tools.
Ironically, many are still worried about the accuracy of AI content, even though we’re all using it. This might be a valid concern since AI can make pretty bizarre stuff that is far from ready-to-post or ready-to-use content, depending on the tools used.
For instance, Midjourney, DALLE-E 2, and Stable Diffusion might dominate the AI image generation market. Yet, when it comes to the best AI text-to-video generator, well, that is where things can get messy with myriad options. But who has the time, the skills, and the resources to try them all? And why are we still stuck on image generators? I mean, come on, aren’t we supposed to kickstart the AI video generators era in 2025? We had our wild ride in 2024 with image generation; I was convinced we were cruising ahead, not hitting the reverse button!
That leads us to a more valid question: Are there any supreme reigns in the market thriving in AI video generation? And how can you tell which ones are worth committing to, without going through the time-consuming trial and error process?
Traditional Editors That Actually Do The Job Vs. AI Video Generators
Of course, many professionals, especially old-school color grading specialists, once claimed, not long ago, that AI tools couldn’t outwrite their specific video editing skills. Well, tools like this AI video generator proved us all wrong.
On the other hand, most content creators, marketers, and even newcomers believe AI is just as good or even better at crafting stunning videos. But without the usual cost, time commitments, and frustration.
For the first ones, their concerns are valid, though, because of inaccuracies, and we get them. When AI gets it wrong, it can turn even the simple video generation tasks into a headache. Imagine requesting a reel of your pub’s new dish and getting an anime-style food war instead. Now, you just have to either brush up on your furikake rice game or take your AI video generator choices more seriously.
But even so, it’s one thing to put to test 3 or 4 AI videos from text generators. It’s another to slogging through the grind of prepping, shooting, and editing for a 30-second Instagram Reel.
This is where AI shows its real value: the ease and accuracy of generating videos(in 2025).
A Quick Guide For Embracing AI In Your Video Editing
The vast majority of professional video editors and content creators acknowledge that some understanding of AI is crucial for their editing process. Also, when it comes to content creation, AI has become an integral part of every marketer’s workflow.
I’d go as far as to state that in the near future, all video content will rely entirely or at least on some basic AI editing tasks. At the same time, AI video generators will be arguably the most important.
The good news is that there are already tools on the market that I am confident in their ability to generate videos from text faster and easier. Take this AI video generator, for example. Just paste your transcript (if you’re facing a roadblock, it can even give you a topic to get inspiration from) and then pick a voice, tone, and duration, and there you have it—a fully edited video with professional voiceovers and high-quality shots.
No shooting, no complex editing skills, preps, backdrops, or voice recording are required since AI does all the editing for you. So it makes sense why most of us feel confident and want to pick up this new video technology faster.
But that’s the easy part!
When AI Is Done, It’s Time To Do Your (Human)Part
Although generating video with AI can be a basic task, it can quickly become more complex when going for the best output. The human element is required to get it right, whether swapping out footage with your own, adding your logo, or annotating to break complex ideas. That’s your job, to make it truly yours, real and professional.
So, there will always be two levels of AI video editing usage:
The basic one is where you just throw some text at an AI video from a text generator, download it, and use it.
And the far more advanced one where you take your basic AI-generated video and turn it into a masterpiece. For that, you need a tool that comes packed with a built-in video editor, allowing you to take your generated video into the editor and tweak it to make it significantly better.
The real question is not who can master AI video editing tasks(there are plenty of easy-to-use tools), but rather who’s going to bring creativity and human elements to the table. It’s not about churning out content faster for the sake of it, it’s about making it watchable and relevant.
AI-generated content, or not, shouldn’t be a concern in 2025. The human touch and the ability to make it yours are the ones that will affect the overall content quality and video’s impact. But how can you do it, fast and easily?
Simplifying the Process(with AI)
Here’s how to generate a video with AI:
Step 1: Find an online tool that does the job well. Flixier works without downloads, codecs, system restrictions, or hardware limitations.
Step 2: Describe the idea as you’d describe it to your best friend. Give as many details as possible so your AI friend can understand what you envision. If there’s a negative prompt text box, like this tool has, be sure to state what to leave out of your video(be it color, people, styles, music, or anything that would question the overall impact of your video).
Step 3: Hand it over to the built-in video editor to improve and make it yours, be it your own logo, font, photos, or even footage. It allows you to add voiceovers, captions, background music, sound effects, or even animated titles or graphics. This duo confirms what we already talked about. It’s not how hard it is to create videos with AI but how easy it is to use it to take videos to their full potential.
What I like about this tool is its visually coherent video results, multilingual support features, and intuitive interface, making it easy for me to personalize and enhance my content.
This Part Is For The Concerned Professionals
For professional video editors worried about their jobs being replaced by AI, just understand that AI still needs source materials(videos) to learn from. So, your seat is secured because AI relies heavily on your unique creativity.
For content creators and marketers, you should not evaluate AI tools on quality alone but rather on their capabilities to produce human-like content with a high level of personalization options and ease of doing so.
Even Google admits that it’s rewarding high-quality content. However, it is made.
Remember that hit song? The one you can’t help but sing in the shower, the one that everyone knows and shares? Does it matter if an AI music generator had a hand in it? Not really. You keep listening because it resonates. The same goes for AI-generated videos, animations, and art. Sure, AI can produce them, but it’s the human connection that turns them into hits.
These tools aren’t digital replicas of human editors, artists, singers, writers, or other creators. These tools aren’t here to steal your job.
They’re here to supercharge your creativity.
Like any good tool, it’s all about how you wield it.
