Ive been trying to put together some videos for my cousins local bakery because her business is growing and she needs some social media clips but honestly im way out of my depth here. I tried using the standard software that came on my laptop but its so slow and i keep hearing people talk about how AI is basically doing the work for you now. i dont really know what that means though like is it a robot that edits or just a special button you press? i have about 400 dollars saved up for this year to spend on software and stuff but i dont want to waste it on something too complicated that requires a degree to understand. i need to get these videos done by the end of next month so i dont have time to take a long course or anything. someone mentioned something about auto-cutting and cleaning up background noise which sounds like magic to me lol. are there actual tools for this that professionals use or is it all just hype? im really sorry if this is a super basic thing to ask but i literally dont even know what to google. what are the actual good AI tools people are using in 2024 that a beginner like me could actually figure out?

TL;DR: AI isnt a magic button yet so dont waste money on hype. Try Descript Creator Plan for easy text-based editing or Adobe Premiere Pro Annual Subscription for professional AI audio cleanup and reliability. Catching this while I have a minute... I actually have to disagree slightly with the idea that AI is just a robot that edits for you. I tried one of those fully automated sites for a project last summer and it was a mess, honestly. It cut my footage in all the wrong spots and I ended up wasting more time fixing it than if Id just done it myself. AI is more like a really smart assistant right now. For a bakery, you probably want something reliable. Ive used Descript Creator Plan for similar stuff and its great because you edit the video by just editing the text transcript. It feels way less like editing and more like writing an email. It has a feature called Studio Sound that removes background noise perfectly. Its very safe for beginners. If you want something more traditional but with magic features, Adobe Premiere Pro Annual Subscription is the industry standard. I used their AI Enhance Speech on a clip where a loud oven was drowning out the talking and it fixed it in one click. It is a bit steeper to learn than Descript, but it wont crash on you like some of those new AI-first web tools tend to do. Better to spend your budget on something that actually works every time instead of experimental stuff.
