Where each AI video tool documents each step

Best AI tools to generate videos

Descript, Google Flow, Morphic, Runway, SceneMixer, Synthesia and Vyond each explain all seven steps. Four more tools explain six. The count reads help pages and does not rate how well a step works. As of 2026-09-25. The rule below was written before the places were computed, and no maker pays to be listed.

1Seven steps from prompt to review

Anyone looking for AI tools to generate videos meets the same seven steps sooner or later: starting from a script or prompt, keeping characters the same, breaking the story into scenes or shots, adding voices and dialogue, changing one shot, getting the video out and sharing it for review. A help centre earns a point for each step it explains, on a page of its own or inside a wider guide.

2The whole list, none picked

The register keeps these seven steps and no others, so this table counts every one. A page about a retired feature, or only a troubleshooting note, does not count as explaining a step. The episode-making table counts five of the seven in the same way, and the finishing table counts four, by pages of their own only.

Inclusion rule. Each row is one point from the list above, with every maker whose own pages state it, in the order of the ranking.

5A full set separates nobody

Seven tools share the top, so a complete set of seven does not tell them apart; what differs is how each help centre goes about a step, and the quoted pages show that. The steps explained least often are changing one shot, by fourteen of the 26 tools, and breaking a story into scenes, by eighteen.

Every tool searched explains at least one of the seven steps, so all 26 are listed.

The seven steps are the register's script, characters, scenes, voices, redo, export and share pages. The episode-making table and the finishing table count some of them, and all three start from the guide rankings.
