Season 2 / Episode 4: AI Tools - ones I Tried So You Don’t Have To

In this solo ride of Matt’s Digital Odyssey, I take a detour from my usual content and dive into the growing world of AI-powered content creation tools—because let’s face it, not everyone wants to spend 12 hours editing vertical video.I break down the ones I’ve tried, the ones I actually use, and the ones I’ll probably never touch again unless Skynet forces me to. Whether you're a fellow timeline-scrubbing video editor or just someone who wants to turn scripts into scroll-stopping content, this episode covers it all.🛠️ Covered in this episode:Why Descript didn’t blow my mind (and what I prefer instead)The surprising power of InVideo AI for quick content generationHow Synthesia and HeyGen could make you question reality… or at least your webcamMy favorite AI voice tool (hint: it’s scary good)Why Adobe Express and Firefly are now in my regular rotation for thumbnails and social postsThe TL;DR of my current AI content stack and what’s worth adding to yours💬 Quick shoutouts to tools mentioned:Adobe Premiere Pro / Adobe Podcast / Adobe ExpressCapCut, Descript, InVideo AI, Synthesia, HeyGenEleven Labs, Firefly, Canva, VistaCreate🎧 Whether you're a seasoned creator or just starting out, these tools can help you do more with less.
