Video creation used to be a multi-day production — a videographer, an editor, a studio and a budget of thousands of shekels. In 2026, AI video generation tools produce a complete marketing video from text alone, within minutes. We have rounded up the recommended tools, what each one does best, and what you can genuinely get for free.
The Recommended AI Tools for Video Creation in 2026
Sora (OpenAI) — Cinematic-Grade Text to Video
The engine that redefined the field: you write a scene description and get a realistic video with camera movement, lighting and believable physics. Well suited to concept scenes, intros and commercials. Available to ChatGPT subscribers.
Google Veo — Gemini’s Video Model
Google’s video model, accessible through Gemini and Flow. A standout strength: character consistency across scenes and synchronized sound (speech and effects) directly inside the video. The most convenient entry point for anyone already living in the Google environment.
Runway — The Standard for Professional Content Creators
A complete toolkit: text-to-video, animating still images, background replacement, object removal and lip-sync. A full editing interface suited to anyone producing video on a regular basis who wants creative control.
HeyGen — Talking Avatars for Businesses
You create a digital “presenter” that reads out your script — including in Hebrew — with no camera and no studio. Perfect for training videos, onboarding and sales content. You can also clone yourself from a short video sample.
CapCut — Free AI Editing for Social Media
The world’s most popular free editor: automatic captions (in Hebrew too), background removal, smart beat-based cutting and automatic adaptation to TikTok, Reels and Shorts formats. The best starting point for anyone just getting started.
Descript — Editing Video Like a Text Document
It transcribes the video and lets you edit it by deleting words from the text — the clip is trimmed accordingly. Includes automatic “um” removal and voice correction. A life-changer for anyone recording webinars, podcasts and training sessions.
