# Make content

> Make videos, podcasts and posts.

Choose by the format you will publish every week, not by the flashiest demo. For talking-head video or podcasts, a transcript-based editor covers recording, editing and clipping in one place; if you sell products, a background remover and an image tool do more for you than a video generator. AI video and music generators are worth paying for short shots and backing tracks once your basic routine runs. Leave 3D and paid avatar tools until a client or campaign asks for them.

## Questions

### Which content tools does a one-person business need to start?

Start with one editor and one design tool. CapCut is free on phone, desktop and web for short video, and Canva's AI tools make social posts, ads and slides from a short prompt on a free plan. An AI assistant such as ChatGPT or Claude, both free to try, helps you draft scripts and captions. Add podcast hosting or AI video later, once you publish on a schedule.

### Can I record, edit and clip a podcast in one app?

Descript gets closest: you record, edit the transcript like a document, cut filler words and make social clips, all on a free plan to start. Riverside records each remote guest locally in up to 4K, then lets you edit by transcript and pull short clips with AI. You still need a host to get the show onto Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Buzzsprout and Podbean have free plans, while Transistor starts at $19 a month and runs several shows on one plan.

### Do I need paid video software or are free editors enough?

Free editors cover a lot of ground. CapCut handles templates, automatic captions and background removal at no cost, and the free version of DaVinci Resolve covers editing, colour grading and audio for serious projects. Paid tools mostly buy you time: OpusClip and Submagic turn long recordings into captioned Shorts in minutes. Pay once you publish often enough that cutting each clip by hand slows you down.

### Which AI video tool suits ads and social clips?

It depends whether you need a presenter or a shot. HeyGen and Synthesia turn a script into a video with a realistic avatar, and Synthesia works in over 140 languages, which helps for training across markets. Runway, Kling AI, Veo and Higgsfield generate short clips from a prompt or an image, and Veo starts at £4.49 a month with sound and dialogue included. Use them for single shots, then finish the edit in your usual editor.

### Can I use AI images, voices and music in business content?

Many small brands do, but read each tool's terms on commercial use first. Suno, for example, grants commercial rights to your songs only on paid plans, and Midjourney has no free plan at all. ElevenLabs turns text into speech in many languages and lets you test narration voices for free. For product photos, Photoroom and Pixelcut edit pictures you shot yourself, which keeps ownership simple.
