What beginners should prioritise when choosing an AI video tool — and the features that matter far less than they appear to.

Beginner-friendly does not mean feature-poor. It means you can reach a publishable video without learning a timeline first.
What to prioritise
- Time from script to first watchable draft
- Caption quality, since most viewing is muted
- A voice library that does not sound robotic
- Clear commercial-use terms
What to ignore at first
- Advanced avatar features you will not use for months
- Template counts — you will use three
- Integrations with tools you do not own yet
