Vidmoat
Vidmoat is a hosted AI video editor you direct in chat. Describe the edit and its agent cuts dead air, adds word-synced captions, grades and reframes your footage on a real timeline, where you can review and change any cut by hand before rendering an MP4. It works in the browser, on Telegram (@vidmoat_bot) and over MCP (https://api.vidmoat.com/api/mcp, OAuth), so Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor can drive edits too.
invideo AI
Make and edit videos from prompts with its agent, Agent Two, including script, footage, voiceover and edits.
Clipkai
Clipkai is a browser-based AI video generator and photo editor that creates watermark-free videos from text prompts or reference photos across Seedance, Kling, Wan, Veo and MiniMax models, paired with 25+ one-click AI photo editing tools on non-expiring 1-year credit packs.
Showrunner
Make and watch AI-generated animated shows. Pick a world and genre and create episodes in minutes.
CutBay
CutBay is a chat-based AI video agent that turns ideas, web links, documents, slides, spreadsheets and your own media into finished videos. You describe what you want and it drafts explainers, product demos, slideshows, animated charts, talking-head clips or YouTube Shorts, then lets you keep editing by chat, with add-ons such as B-roll and automatic subtitles.
Vellm
Vellm turns photos of people and pets into short AI videos from ready-made templates. Pick one of 108 dance, funny, duo and pet templates built on ByteDance Seedance 2.5, upload your photos and it renders your own version, or start from a prompt in its Create Studio. A remote MCP server (https://api.vellm.app/mcp, OAuth sign-in) lets MCP-compatible AI apps create videos from your Vellm account.
