The components
The recipe
- Script first, by hand or with a chat model. Every minute saved scripting is ten lost regenerating video. Lock the script before touching any generator.
- Voiceover in ElevenLabs (Starter $6/mo). Clone your voice once or pick a stock voice. Export per-scene audio files — they set clip durations.
- Presenter shots in HeyGen (Creator $29/mo) — only if the video needs a talking head. Skip this tool entirely for pure b-roll content and the stack drops to ~$31/mo.
- B-roll in Kling (Standard $10/mo). Iterate motion and framing here: cheapest per-clip cost of the quality tier. Expect 3-5 generations per usable shot.
- Hero shots in Runway (Standard $15/mo). Use Gen-4 for the 2-3 shots that carry the video, then finish in Runway’s editor: inpainting, motion brush, upscale.
- Music in Suno (Pro $10/mo). Generate per-mood instrumentals; the Pro tier’s commercial rights are why it’s in the stack.
- Assemble in a free NLE. DaVinci Resolve or CapCut: sync clips to the voiceover, cut on beats, captions last. No AI tool on this list replaces the timeline.
When this breaks down
Consistency across scenes (same character, same product) is still manual pain. Longer than ~3 minutes, or brand-critical character work, and you’re back to hybrid shoots with real footage.
