I am constantly on the lookout for new tools to use in editing this blog’s content. The use of AI is very much in the news now, and AI tools to provide video content are at the head of the pack. I use Pictory.ai to make many of the videos for the blog. I use Grammarly to assist in my editing. I use ChatGPT for ideas and content. I use text to pictures, and illustrations for some of the graphics. AI makes life much easier for bloggers such as myself.
Recently I tried out a newcomer – to me at least – named WiseCut. You provide an mp4 video, and it does all kinds of wonderful things to the provided video, like take out pauses, provide audio-to-text overlays, background music, and other purported magic. It does not work for me. It is sluggish, slow, and does not faithfully transcribe audio to text. Granted, you can go through and clean up the text, but Pictory.ai does a much better job. Rendering is slow. It’s just slow. I was running the free version, which might have something to do with this but…. The video output from WiseCut is embedded below — you can see for yourself what AI video editing can do. I’ve included a screenshot of what WiseCut purported to have done to my source video.
