9 Best Twitter Video Tools for Video Content Creators in 2024

Video content is everywhere right now – from Instagram Reels to TikTok and Facebook ads. But did you know that video content is also by far the best way to get noticed on Twitter/X?

In 2024, video is by far the most popular content medium, with 89% of consumers hungry for more videos online. Still, smaller brands and content creators have understandable reservations about their ability to create high-value video content due to time constraints, limited budgets and lack of editing skills.

AI is changing the video landscape, however, which is good news for those smaller creators who want a piece of the pie. With the right Twitter video tools, teams and freelance creatives can now streamline and automate the entire production workflow – from ideation to editing – making the process more cost-effective and accessible to all.

In this article, we’ll compare the best tools for each stage of video production: ideation, production and editing. We’ll also introduce Argil, our unique tool that turns text into engaging videos using the latest AI technology.

The Best Twitter Video Tools for Generating Ideas

Before you start creating videos, it’s important to establish the purpose behind the content you want to share, as well as what you hope to achieve.

Is it a promotional video for a new product? An explainer or informational video? Or perhaps you’re sharing content purely for entertainment and engagement purposes.

Video content is also a great way to repurpose existing materials such as blog posts, articles and newsletters, which you can do easily with the right tool.

Here are three of the best tools for the ideation stage of Twitter video production:

Medium

Medium is a popular writing platform for bloggers and journalists. It’s a great tool for finding top stories and articles that resonate with readers, and trending content will give you some great ideas for video content.

It’s easy to find stories according to what's trending or been published most recently. You can then use the topic or theme of an article to generate a short video script using a tool like Argil.

Argil can take the main points from a piece of text – such as a Medium article or even a Reddit story – and convert them into video, complete with AI B-roll, captions, transitions and visual effects – saving you time and money and allowing you to repurpose your existing content, or summarize points from another published source.

Medium offers a mix of free and paid content. You can read some articles without paying, but more and more content is now being paywalled. Membership starts at $5 a month, which gives you unlimited access to all written content on the platform.

BuzzSumo

BuzzSumo is another great tool that will help you discover trending topics and ideas for content. You can use its filtering feature to find top-performing content within various categories, as well as trending pieces.

Like Medium, BuzzSumo is helpful for finding longer pieces of text that you can then convert using a text-to-video tool like Argil. Just remember to cite your sources!

One of the main benefits of this tool is its competitive analysis feature. This can help you find gaps in the market to fill with your content, as well as under-explored ideas and content themes.

BuzzSumo offers a limited free plan as well as a subscription model. A free trial period is often available, but full access is far more costly than medium, starting at $199 per month for individual content creators and scaling up to $999 for enterprise plans.

AnswerThePublic

This tool generates insights based on real-time search queries, directing you to the questions and topics that Twitter users are most curious about, therefore giving you ideas for relevant, in-demand content.

AnswerThePublic is especially beneficial for informational and educational Twitter videos that address trending queries.

You can combine insights with text sources from Medium or other sources to create short, informational videos using a Twitter video tool like Argil.

Offering up to 100 searches per day for one user, plans for entrepreneurs or content creators start at £11 ($13.50) per month. Their ‘Expert’ plan allows unlimited users and searches and costs £199 ($245) per month. Free trials are available across all plans.

The Best Twitter Video Tools for Production

Historically, video production has been time-consuming and expensive – but AI technology is changing that. These tools will empower you to create high-quality videos in minutes using nothing but a piece of text.

AI tools will also help you streamline your content workflows and become more efficient, meaning you can post more consistently to increase your engagement.

Here are some of the best AI video tools for the production stage:

Argil

Argil is a cutting-edge AI tool that allows creators to convert text-based content into videos, without the need to appear on camera or use fancy editing tools.

Our unique text-to-video functionality means you can easily repurpose your existing content and create visually stunning videos that your audience will love.

You can even create a realistic AI clone of yourself by simply uploading a two-minute video of you speaking. Your AI avatar will then perform your video script, and you can tweak their mannerisms, voice and tone until it is just right for your brand. This means no mistakes, no worries about appearing on camera and no need for multiple retakes.

Using our editing suite, you can also add multilingual captions, seamless visual transitions and B-roll to enhance the quality of your videos, while saving vast amounts of time on post-production.

The tool will scale with you as you grow. It gets to know your preferences and becomes more personalized over time, helping you create authentic content that truly speaks to your audience.

You can sign up and try the tool for free, and because the tool is new, there are early bird discounts available. Paid plans start at $39 per month and provide 25 video minutes per month and three custom avatars. Pro plans cost $149 per month and include 100 video minutes and 10 custom avatars.

HeyGen

HeyGen is a popular tool for video creation. Like Argil, it can produce high-quality video content from a simple script, allowing you to easily repurpose your existing content.

The tool’s script-to-video feature means it’s very quick to convert articles into video, making it ideal for Twitter videos that summarize longer or more in-depth content. You can also create avatars with HeyGen, but they aren’t quite as lifelike as Argil’s.

It has a set of unique customization features such as backgrounds, voice tones and visual settings, which help personalize videos for different audiences. Not all of these effects are available when using their free version, however.

HeyGen offers a free version for casual users who want to try out the tool, but it is very limited. Paid plans start at $24 per month for ‘Creators’, while Team plans are around $69 per month per seat.

Synthesia

Synthesia is an advanced AI video generation tool that, again, is popular for turning scripts into video content using realistic AI ‘presenters’.

Like Argil and HeyGen, you can convert blog posts and articles into short Twitter videos using customizable avatars to deliver your content. The tool has a specific focus on realistic avatar motion and lip-syncing, which means your clone will appear very lifelike.

Synthesia also supports over 120 languages making it a great option if you’re targeting international Twitter audiences.

Their free version includes one editor and 9 AI avatars, as well as 36 minutes of video per year – however, it lacks key features such as the AI video assistant, Avatar builder and the ability to brand and personalize video content. Paid plans start at £14 ($17.25) per month for one editor and three ‘guests’ as well as 120 minutes of video per year.

AI video production tools make it much easier and more cost-effective to convert written content into videos, but editing tools are crucial for helping to refine the final product so it resonates with your audience.

The Best Twitter Video Tools for Editing

The editing phase of video production is absolutely crucial if you want to create high-value, high-quality videos that generate engagement on Twitter. You want to make sure they are both visually appealing and optimized to hold the viewer’s attention.

Here are three of the best video tools for the editing stage:

Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe’s Premiere Pro platform is a great tool if you want to edit and polish videos. It has some great advanced features such as color correction, precise audio editing and multi-layered transitions that make video content appear professional and hold viewers’ attention.

Its unique AI features such as auto-reframe and the ability to adapt videos to different dimensions means you can create videos that look like they were specifically designed for Twitter, while also producing different versions for your other content platforms.

Adobe also integrates with other Creative Cloud apps, providing flexibility for creators using other design programs.

Paid plans start at £21.98 ($27.10) per month, with separate plans for students, teachers and small businesses available.

Argil

In addition to Argil’s text-to-video capabilities, the tool also boasts some impressive editing features.

Automatic captions, smooth transitions, AI B-roll and the choice to add other visual elements such as CTA buttons and animations all enhance Twitter videos with minimal effort, rendering advanced editing skills or other tools unnecessary.

Argil’s UI and AI assistants also help to streamline the editing process, allowing you to make adjustments quickly and easily along with their suggestions.

Argil is built specifically for content creators who want to produce consistent, engaging video content quickly, making it ideal for Twitter's fast-paced posting environment.

Again, Argil’s paid plan starts at $39 per month.

Filmora

A great beginner-friendly tool, Filmora allows content creators to produce videos quickly and without the need for advanced editing skills. It has a simple drag-and-drop interface so you can easily add visual effects, transitions and animations to your videos, as well as a range of filters and templates.

Perhaps most helpfully, it provides a handy ‘Easy Mode’ for beginners and a ‘Full Features Mode’ for experienced video editors, meaning you can use the tool according to your specific experience and needs.

Filmora offers a free version that includes most of its key editing features – however, you can only export videos with a watermark. If you want to remove the watermark and add advanced features and effects to your videos, you can subscribe for around $19.99 per month.
