Video & Creative Assets
Product video, ad creative, voiceover and the audio that carries them.
Short video is now the format most marketplaces and ad platforms push, and the constraint is not the editor — it is how many finished variants you can produce in a week. That is why so much of this category is credit-metered generation rather than timeline editing: the value is in turning one product into fifteen clips, not in a better keyframe curve. Two things decide whether a tool is usable at volume: what the credits actually buy, and whether the output carries a watermark or a licence restriction that rules out commercial use. Check both before you build a workflow on top of one.
