# Best AI tools for video

Canonical: https://theagenticweekly.com/best/ai-video · Last updated: 2026-10-26 · 10 tools ranked

AI video tools split into model-first apps (Luma, Kling, Runway) and open, local pipelines (ComfyUI). We track dated releases, so you can see what a tool added this month and what it still lacks.

Rankings are editorial. Paid placements never affect them. Reported = written from official sources; Tested = a small smoke test whose scope is stated per tool (not a benchmark). How ranks are chosen: https://theagenticweekly.com/editorial-policy#ranking.
