GenGrades

Best video editing AI tools and models

Published Updated

Video editing tools change footage you already have: upscaling and restoring it, removing burned-in subtitles and on-screen text, compressing it. This list gathers the ones GenGrades has written up, each page with its prices, limits and sourced facts.

The ranking

Every tool and model we have graded for video editing, best total first.

  1. VideoEnhancer is a web tool that upscales short MP4 clips to 1080p, 2K or 4K with the FlashVSR model and also compresses, face-swaps and generates video. After a 5-second free trial, 1080p costs 3 credits a second, $0.03 to $0.09 depending on how credits are bought. VideoEnhancer is our own product: it is made by the team behind GenGrades.

    Best for:
    Anyone with a short, soft or low-resolution clip who wants it sharper without installing software or owning a GPU; Families digitizing VHS, camcorder or old phone videos who can capture and deinterlace the tape first
    Biggest weakness:
    There is no independent evidence about it yet.

    Best for:
    Anyone with a video whose subtitles or captions are burned into the picture and cannot be switched off; Creators re-captioning their own TikTok, Reels or Shorts clips
    Biggest weakness:
    There is almost no independent evidence about it yet.

Common questions

Answer first, then why, an example, the limits and what to do next.

What counts as video editing here?

Video editing here means tools whose main job is changing a video you already have, such as upscalers, restorers and subtitle removers. Tools that make clips from a prompt or an image are listed under Video generation.

How is this list ordered?

Entries with a GenGrades score come first, highest total first; the rest follow in alphabetical order. Each one links to its full page.

Where do the facts on these pages come from?

Every fact on a tool page carries its source and the date it was checked: the maker's own pages and terms, public tests and user reports.
