Compared

AI video editors and generators, compared.

The AI video tools people choose between, side by side: which ones edit your own footage, which ones make new video, and what else they do. Every fact about another tool comes from its maker’s own pages, checked on November 10, 2026.

Which AI video tools have a full timeline editor?
Tesseract, CapCut, Descript, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve have a multi-track timeline for your own footage, and Runway has one inside its agent. Higgsfield, Pika, Luma, Kling and HeyGen describe none.
Which AI video generators make long videos in scenes?
Tesseract makes long videos of up to 30 minutes in up to 300 scenes. Runway’s and HeyGen’s agents build videos scene by scene, Google Flow joins clips into stories, and Higgsfield makes scenes one by one to join. Pika’s multi-shot videos go up to 30 seconds.
Which AI video tools mark AI-generated video?
On their own pages, Runway (C2PA on its own models), CapCut (C2PA, invisible watermarks and visible labels), Premiere Pro (Content Credentials) and Google Flow (SynthID) say they mark it.
Is there an AI video editor for Linux?
Tesseract and DaVinci Resolve run on Linux. The others here run in the browser, on Windows and Mac, or on phones.
Is OpenAI’s Sora still available?
No. OpenAI’s help center says the Sora web and app closed on April 26, 2026, and developer access on September 24, 2026.
